There are many criminals in the world, and countless different types. You have the wild-eyed and savage-minded; the heartless, conniving master of clever and elaborate plots; dull henchmen who back up the orders; slightly smarter henchmen who dutifully tell those beneath them the orders of those above them. None are born evil and pitiless, monstrosities of what they could have been; they are made through a parent's sickened mind or abuse, and they all have dreadful stories behind them that make the dauntless quiver in their boots. Confutatis' own history reflected this, if she were to open her poisonous lips and tell you- but she had only mentioned this background once, to a lordly unicorn of lust and want, and he had scorned her for it. Still, she did not mind, for she hungered for the blood-stallion deep in her bones, biding her time with the patience of a spider sitting in her silken web.

If one were to know, acknowledge, and understand this enticing information, that villains were made, not born, that certain someone could use it to their nefarious means to advance themselves- especially if that someone was Lady Death.

Once on a frost-wreathed morning when the sun rose and gleamed like a white coin in the blue ocean of sky, the merciless mare had come across a child. Innocence and purity, trapped inside a fragile body, virgin to pain and death and all the terrible flaws of life; she had been drawn by the shouts of despair from the gray mare that fondled over the foal, drawn like a moth to candle from the misery emanating from the sweet scene tinged with a bitter taste. At the time, she had asked for the mother to back down, before leaving, a ghost in the wind, unable to bring herself to care more for the kid unloved. Confutatis had no soft heart; she was bitter and cruel and hardened to passion and what one would call love. Her history was filled with blood and gore, a house of terrible images.

Since her visitations with Déodat, the red lord, she had wandered, blinded, through the world, lit only by brief conversations with strangers. Nevertheless, a vague sensation had been nipping at her heels, sending her upwards to the north once more. The child.

Child theft, more precisely.

The lady was more than willing to fight for possession of a foal, and on the coldest of nights she arrived in the very same spot, breath coming in curling silver clouds, winter's teeth digging into the sensitive skin of her soft sooty muzzle. Undisturbed by any heat that may create an effect with melting snow which would freeze at night, ending up as ice, the white powder lay creamy and knee-deep, a notable challenge to walk in, yet alone battle in. Yet the lady was determined to rip the precious pegasus from the idiotic mother, and raise the babe as her own, whispering her own stories into his ears and training him to become what she wished for. And what Confutatis wanted, she got.

The only tree for miles she planted herself underneath, the sickly yellow glow creating a certain ambiance.

All good things will come in time.

OOC:
Setting: Frostbreath Steppe, no time discernible due to endless night. Confutatis is underneath a lantern-tree, the only source of light. Knee-deep snow. About -28 degrees Celsius. No wind; very calm.

Challenge: This is a challenge for the possession of Kovoden. Paddeh has given me the go-ahead but since we were uncertain about how it would work with Kovoden's age, I decided a challenge might be best for official "ownership" of him. If Confutatis wins, she may take Kovoden. If Storm wins, she may do as she sees fit with Confutatis.

Magic & Companion: Follows regular challenge rules. 800 word max- no magic allowed due to plot, of course companion allowed.



CONFUTATIS

72 hours have long passed. Sorry for the delay. Storm defaults to Confutatis.
