Silence was like a silk cocoon to the stallion of midnight black. His red eyes flickered closed as his head lowered, sleep wishing to come and take him from his harsh reality. He was still stuck at the Peak, his body held by invisible chains and tied to this stupid rock. His feathered legs were healing though, the sores and thrush from living in the Lagoon having been worked through with the dryer, cleaner land in which he now resided. It was good, but also bad, for he no longer had a reason to always be angry. There was no pain with each step, but that just fueled the insanity that clawed at the back of his mind like a vice grip.


As sleep tried to work its way through his body, Lucifer was drug awake by the sound of child laughter. His red eyes snapped open, his nostrils flaring as he blasted a loud snort from their depths. The stallion's head lifted, his hairy chin raising to its full height as he looked forward, curious of what would be coming. His large frame was right at the front of the most dangerous ledge, but he slowly took a few steps back, making it easy for something to fall off if they were not careful. His head tilted then, ,but the black beast stayed silent now as he listened and waited for the child to come towards him, to see the beast in which they disturbed.
