Like a startled bird Ampere scattered into the night sky as the behemoth clawed from its fiery nest. Dark wings unfolded on a dark sky and she lost herself in the night, safe for now as she circled above, her head leering down between outstretched feet at the abysmal
thing and the deer so quickly lost to its bite. If Ampere had any doubts about the monster's intentions, that scene eradicated them.
It has come to feed. And she was deer sized.
A shudder of dismay rolled through her even as the wind pressed against her body. The length of her winter coat set itself to tumbling and snapping in the breeze, more black tumbling into black - blue flaring up like the bright new stars that had appeared.
Ampere had been watching them, so in awe at their reappearance, that she'd nearly been the beast's first meal instead. The gaping hole of magma in the ground had always kept her wary, it just wasn't
right, but Ampere found some semblance of comfort in the warm glow that fire brings. There were few other things to keep her warm these days.
The sudden shout of a voice, strong in masculinity and, to Ampere's mind, idiocy, rung through the haze of fire and fear. Ampere's electric eyes swiveled, barely able to discern the obsidian tower of a horse standing before the devil. Red light from the crevice licked at the stallion's body like a halo of madness. It surely suited him in the moment.
On any regular day when the world was right and magic hummed in her consciousness Ampere wouldn't have found a reason to pick a fight with this creature, but the current circumstances made her even less inclined. Although she supposed it was exactly because chaos had erupted that so too had the planet hatched this latest child from the depths of its womb.
Never one to pass up a fight usually Ampere still knew when to pick her battles. Sizing up the lizard it stood significantly taller, as most everything did to her, but more exceptional was the length it boasted. Ampere couldn't be sure how fast it was, but by sheer size it would have to work less to cover the same ground and she was sure that with it's sleek shape, like an arrow poised, it was not slow enough for her to fuck with it.
All the same, if dark and handsome down there thought he could take it, she sure as Helovia wasn't going to let him show her up. After all this was her bum pit for the winter, any where else and she'd likely be cutting her chances of Frostfall survival.
That, and this was the final bit of voltage that would send her into an arc volt. As if there wasn't enough shit to deal with Godzilla had to rear his ugly head. Frustration built inside her breast, pushing out all her breath and with it, whatever shred of sanity remained.
Live or die, isn't that always what it comes down to?
Wings tucked suddenly to her sides and Ampere dropped like a great rock from the sky.
She shot out her appendages suddenly as she neared the back of the beast, aiming to come in from behind so as not to be detected. Front hooves unfurled to strike a solid blow to the base of the creature's skull or the top of its head depending how it may turn, hoping to use her connection to then shove off with her back feet and fire back up and out of reach, losing herself into the night and hopefully, the monster's view.
Your turn dark and studly, I distracted him for ya. I just hope you don't die.
Her mind churned with nothing else but the focus of living another wing beat tonight, but occasionally she glanced to Destrier, hoping he'd work with her instead of trying to be brave. Bravery only ever earned you blood until you ran out of it, for good.
