Mud squelched under large hooves. The thick and green coated substance made way for a stocky body. Gentle vines fell from a canopy of swamp based trees. Their green and brown bodies swayed as muscles pushed them apart. Slime covered waters shifted as long strands of black tail trailed through their depths. Birds sang their songs from up above as a body prowled through the knee deep mud. Snakes and lizards ran in opposite directions, escaping the large form that was like a bulldozer to the land around it.


Crimson eyes blinked slowly, black lashes touching high upon the horses cheeks before flicking back up to leave the eyes open. Long strands of twisted forelock shifted as their ends danced against the breeze pushing through the lagoon. The gentle touch of a warm breeze made an onyx monster shiver, their still wet coat not fully enjoying the warm embrace he had once called home.


Licking his dark lips, Lucifer let out a breath. His ears swiveled on his head, but his neck didn't move. Keeping himself straight and true, the ex-lagoon demon moved onwards after a scent he could almost taste. He was searching for someone, but as the wind changed directions and the scent vanished from his path, the dark monster stopped moving. His head lifted slowly, trying to catch the scent he had been following before giving in. Pinning his ears and shifting his legs in the knee deep water, Lucifer heard hoods behind him. Flicking one ear that way, the stallion spoke slowly.


”I'm in search of Cullen.”
