Nightfall cloaked the Isles in an impenetrable veil, concealing the creatures that thrived in its darkness. Wicked beings, born of malice and steeped in shadow, prowled the desolate landscape. Their bloodlust was a tangible force, palpable in the air as they roamed, their sharp eyes scanning for any they could devour. Leif was one such creature, a wicked grin twisting his lips, he reveled in the night's embrace.

The roan stallion, his piercing gaze scanning the murky swamp, wandered aimlessly. The quiet of midnight was shattered by a familiar bugle call, sending shivers through the weeping willows. Leif, his thick skull swiveling, furrowed his brow at the sound of Lucifer's summons. He transitioned from a trot to a powerful canter, his hooves drumming on the marshy earth beneath him. He slowed beneath the sheltering leaves of a willow, his sharp eyes sweeping across a pair of figures in the clearing.

Leif's ears twitched as Garmr's words reached him. "Fall in line, Lucifer. Or I will send you back to the Peak to be their permanent plaything." The threat was veiled, yet the promise it carried was undeniable. A moment of silence descended as Lucifer pondered his response. His stillness conveyed his reluctance to return to the Peak. Nonetheless, Leif sensed the uncertainty in Lucifer's resolve to comply.

Before Lucifer uttered a reply, a familiar Peak woman with distinct spots emerged. With a mocking lilt in her voice, she approached Lucifer's side. She was familiar with Garmr and was sure to announce it to all that were present. The thunderous sound of hooves echoed across the ground, drew Leif's attention. It was Peak woman, summoned by Lucifer's call, joined the gathering.

Seeing his opportunity, Leif emerged from the shadows, with his head lowered and ears flattened against his muscled neck. He moved with a predatory grace, his dark eyes gleaming, lips curled into a cruel smile. "Didn't your mother teach you not to be so careless with your toys?" he growled, his voice a low rumble. Finders keepers, losers weepers," he added, his dark gaze sweeping over the spotted woman, highlighting her weaknesses.

He stopped abruptly next to the Lagoon Boss, his senses alight with the unfolding drama. A jolt of adrenaline pulsed through him, electrifying every fiber of his being.
