Falls

he idea of sleep was starting to grow stronger and work on claiming Lucifer entirely. His sinful eyes were closed and his heart rate was turning more mellow with each breath he took and inches closer to sleep. It was the sound of hooves behind him that had the black stallions ears jerking erect and his eyes snapping open. Anger burned bright as fast as his eyes opened, but he held himself still for the most part as he rested there around the child. She was his treasure, something that he was not willing to part with. It was not common for a lagoon stallion to have such an item, but he was not willing to let her become a part of his home just yet and it forced his mind to work. Lucifer had done many things and grown to hate everyone, but this young thing had not managed to get into his bad graces and it left the beast with one true thing that could hurt him.

Letting out a breath through his nostrils, Lucifer shifted gently before rising. His large black frame broke stalks of grass and crunched upon other fallen things which in turn disturbed the child. Lowering his snout, he gently nuzzled at her head, his bulk hiding her from view of the other creature at this time. It was not until he turned to face the other animal that her red frame could be seen through the grass and his legs. His beat up body ached with each movement, but Lucifer shared none of the pain and did not show it a single bit as his black ears and red eyes locked themselves upon something else that was just as dark in color as him.

Feeling his lip wrinkle, the lagoon demon wished he was a canine. In this moment if he were a wolf, the beast would have teeth bared and a snarl escaping his lungs and throat. Instead, the black stallion pinned his ears and stomped a front hoof, stating without speaking just how this would turn out if that other horse came closer. It would not be pretty or fun, but who was he kidding? Even all banged up and with infected cuts, Lucifer would take this fight if it came at him like a prize. At least someone would come out of this almost half dead, be it him or the other black wraith of a horse.
