Something was off.


The wind blew in all directions. The howling strength of it pushed against the black monster's coat with sand slamming into his skin under the shorter hairs. His large ears were forced to pin as his tail billowed out around him with the long and thick strands slapping against his hocks and knees. Tilting his head to the side to leave his eyes better protected by his mane, Lucifer let out a deep breath as the storm winds heaved into him and forced his once sturdy body to tremble from the strength needed to keep himself upright.


As the storm continued to work around him and pull at the Dunes as if there was nothing better for it to do, Lucifer managed to pull in a deep breath. His lungs filled with the scent of another, one that did not belong. His body jerked around towards where the scent came from. It was a bit difficult to track with the winds, but the beast took his time to listen for any changes in the wind. The beast of a storm took a while to relax, but once it did Lucifer was able to draw in another breath and this time he knew that the scent came from his borders.


Lunging forward with power in his stride, Lucifer headed towards the beach with large hooves thundering over the loose desert lands. His muscled frame powered on and with each stride, the monster deep inside came closer and closer to the forefront before finally as he created the last dune and his eyes landed upon the one that entered his home, it was what had control of his mind as his ears pinned and a bugling sound left his lungs towards that of the stranger.
