Moments of Time

[Kurorin]

Relapse looked at the sunrise before dropping his gaze to a small flower with purple spots. He pawed at the ground as if to be digging for something. He had just woken up and was walking toward a nearby lake. He stopped at the waters edge seeming to be afraid of going in. He snorted and looked down at the water to see his reflection. He was a monster horse and nobody loved him. It took him a while before stepping into the water. He had stopped where the water only reached his ankles. He lowered his head down toward the water and started to drink it. He flickered his ears back and raised his head. His mane covered the tattoo which was upon his left side. He snorted once more and walked out of the water. That was about as far into the water he would go for he is to scared of the deeper water.

What a horrible day it was for the blood bay colored mare. Her sandy looking wings tempted her into flying away, the sand colored star on her hindquarter was darkened with sweat. In fact her entire body seemed to sweat. It just so happened to be one of the hottest days in the sandy area and she needed a break. Not only did that create her foul mood but she was still angered by that winged boy that Demise hadfound so easy to trust. That was how Storm survived, by considering anyone an enemy until they proved otherwise.
Angrily flicking her tail the mare broke into a canter as she ran towards the water. Only to skid to a stop a few feet from the water, surrounded by humans who apparentally been watching her.
"No!!! I'm not dealing with this!!!!"
Her body shook from the anger inside of her as the sand beneath her shook before spouting upwards and around her in a tornado before stilling, only to take the form of spikes and flying towards the humans. Pinning them down towards the ground before sand swallowed them up and crushed them.
Gaining a new level of foul moodsforbherself, Storm slowly walked to the edge of the water. She wouldn't even dare step into it until after she took a drink and knew sand was beneath the surface. After a few moments the mare walked into the water until it was up to her knees. Unfolding her sandy wings she used them to spray water unto her sweaty body. Steam rising as the cool water cooled her down. Never did she even take notice of the stallion standing only a few feet away.

[Kurorin]

Relapse flicked his ears back and turned around to see a blood bay mare standing only a few feet away. His eye widened as the mare did what she did. She seemed to have the same powers and him but that only made it worse. He held his head high and placed his hooves firm on the ground. Sand started to sprout from the ground.
“Who are you? What are you doing here?” he said in a stern voice. He hated others especially horses. Sand was soon circling the stallion. He snorted and shook his mane revealing the tattoo that he purposely tried to cover up before.

[dasuke]

Storm's ears flew back as she heard a stallion question her. If there was one thing she hated morethan anything in the world it was being questioned about what she was doing.
"Who died and made you king of the water?! No one can tell me when and where I can cool off from this stifling heat!"
Her sand colored eyes stared into the stallion's cold jade eyes, venom was now coating her words along with an acidicness. She'd die before becoming like some scared child in a corner. As the last of her family, she stood up for herself and did what her herd could not, and that was to survive almost anything.
As long as she was near some type of soil, no one would be able to completely own her. If anyone ever thought they had broken her spirit, well then they had another thing coming, because her wild, first and violent spirit would be broken by no one, and she planned on keeping it that way.

[Kurorin]

Relapse stood there as the sand still circled him. He was in no mood to get sassed by a mare who's temper was out of whack.
“Listen, I just asked you a simple question. So don't be getting on my bad side.” he said as the sand started to engulf him. The sand started the “crawl” up his hind legs. He was ready to kill her right now to show her that he was not the one to be messed with. Soon the sand was up to his waist and he teeth were growing into fangs which was unusual for a horses but hey, not all horses are the same.....

[dasuke]

Storm blew out her nostrils agitatedly as she swiftly moved to the land, allowing the sand to swirl around her as well.
"Sorry to disappoint you but you caught me on a very bad day."
She didn't care the stallion had the kanji for love tattooed on his forehead. To her it meant nothing except that he was just another stag with a bad past. That was not something she felt like dealing with in her foul mood. In fact she would rather find something or someone else to torture. Almost as if on cue she noticed some mean sneaking up behind the stallion. Without even speaking she created a couple of sand spikes and sent them in the stallion's direction, except instead of hitting him they simply flew right past him and towards the men.
Sand colored orbs narrowed dangerously as she watched the men dodge them. She was sick and tired of her day being ruined. In fact it seemed as if the day just wanted to piss her off because as soon as she turned her head to walk away from the stallion a rope encircled her neck. Eyes flashed with fury as she bucked ad reared as if she was a demon. With the aid of her sand she tore free and attacked the idiotic male who even dared to rope her with her sand, mercilessly disposing of him and leaving a mutilated corpse behind. Her breathing had sped up as she shook from her fury, right now she just wanted to destroy anything and everything in her path she was so sick of the world and it's attempts to take her from it.

[Kurorin]

Relapse fell in shock as the mare attacked the men behind him. He quickly drew his attention behind the mare. By now the sand fully engulfed him and his eyes were dark and he looked like a sandy wolf. He looked the man behind the mare. He had claws at his hooves as well. He charged at the mare at straight past her. He had wanted to kill her but he was more focused on the man. He slashed the man leaving his claws bloody.
“Oh a little protective aren't we now?” one of the men said. Now Relapse was pissed. His breathing became fast and nothing would get him out of a rage like this. His ears flattened and realized he was actually working together with the mare. He snorted and reared. They were both surrounded by men and their guns. He showed no mercy toward the others but had felt a pain in his chest but he wasn't bleeding. What was going on? Why did he feel this way? He pushed all that out of his head and continued fighting.

[dasuke]

Storm held her ears flat against her head as she pawed at the ground, sand twirling around her hooves, randomly striking out at anyone who tried coming near her. This was at least the tenth attempt of the men to take away her beloved freedom. That was something she would fight to the death for, no one not even her deceased herd would take that away from her.
Just as Storm reared up, wings spread and just about to attack a burst of lightning struck the ground, electrocuting and killing the three men coming towards Storm.

Landing next to the furious mare was one that could have passed as her twin if it hadn't been for the color of her wings or her markings.
The mare looked at Storm and then glanced behind her at the stallion with sand covering his body. Ignoring the stallion she looked to Storm.
"Storm, are you ok?"
Her voice was soft, caring and kind as she hoped that her almost twin, friend would forgive her for always being so trusting. Instead the mare grew angry. She didn't like how she had been helped, she never needed help before and right now was no time to be receiving any.
"Demise! Go back to your human friend! I don't need your help! i've done fine by myself for my whole life and i won't need anyone any time soon!"
Demise seemed to shrink from her furious friend, after having just helped her friend from on coming trouble she gets yelled at? what was going on with Storm? Deciding to ignore her friend she went to send another attack at the men but sand held her back.
"Storm?...."
Storm looked furious at her friend as she spoke to her, venom in her voice as her sand ruthlessly murdered the men that came an inch closer to her.
"Demise. Leave. Now."
With a saddened look the black winged blood bay mare took flight and left her friend by herself. It almost felt as if her heart was breaking to learn that her and Storm weren't as close as she had thought.

[Kurorin]

Relapse's sand fell to the ground as well as himself, while being hit with a bullet at his left leg. He fell sideways as the men crowded him. They put a steel halter on so that he could not maneuver it off of himself. He started to breathe heavily as they tried to pull him away. They figured if the mare was attached to the stallion, she would try to follow them.
With the last of his strength he whispered his name, “I'm Dangerous Relapse. What's yours?” there was more than five hundred of these men and he was no match against him with his injury.

[dasuke]

Storm whipped around to look at the stallion as the men captured him with a steel halter. Hearing his tired words she stood near him, pinning her ears dangerously at any one who was near, using her sand to keep the men backed away.
Looking down at the stallion she responded.
"Relentless Storm."
Hearing a loud crack as a gun went off, Storm didn't register the pain in her right wing until a split second later. pawing the ground harshly and swiftly four times before rearing up angrily and stomping her feet onto the ground, large spikes arose from the ground. Piercing half of the men fatally. They were here to steal their freedom and like she would always swear. She would rather die first before she lost her freedom.
The rest of the men stared at her like she was some kind of demented mare before two of them dared to ride up on their tamed horses and lasso her neck. Hearing the click of a gun her head shot up as she stared the man on the third horse pointing the gun at her. With her breathing slowing down on her own accord, Storm tricked them into a false sense of security before her sand crushed them all, leaving their horses free to do as they pleased. Taking this last and final chance to save both her and Relapse's freedom Storm had the angry sand beneath her feet rise swiftly before plunging into the ground, taking all of the men down with it and leaving her and relapse alone. With one last stomp of her hoof the sand hardened, crushing everyone it had taken down.
She breath turned into tired breathes as she looked back at the stallion before laying with her legs underneath of her, concentrating on having her sand very carefully cut through the steel halter. Her body once again covered in sweat from the heat and the hard work she had just done, cutting through the steel halter was taking the last of her strength.
A moment after the halter fell from his head, Storm's forehead laid against the sand as she felt drained of her energy.

[Kurorin]

Relapse tried to get to his feet to help Storm. He did but was limping toward her. Somehow she had calmed him down. He let his sand treat her wounds as he laid next to her.
“Thank you Storm.” he said putting his muzzle near hers. Soon her wounds were fully healed only leaving only scars. Next was his wounds. Because the sand fully healed was because they both could control sand and the wounds would heal quicker.
“You really do care don't you?” he said finally calming down.

[dasuke]

Storm sighed tiredly as she spoke in her tired voice.
"No one should ever have their freedom taken away from them."
She would let Relapse try to figure out her hidden meaning in her words as she sighed once more before closing her eyes, her once injured wing now tucked safely against her side. It seemed like too long of a day and with the warmth of the sand beneath her and water nearby, she knew it would be an ok place to take a quick nap, no matter how short. Any amount of energy gained was better than this drained feeling she was going through.

[Kurorin]

“Well, you go ahead and sleep. I'll look out for danger.” he said. He listen to her words and what she meant. They tumbled in his head shifting around to what she really meant. He listened to the surrounding voices and birds. It was peaceful now that he knew that someone actually care for him let alone love him.

[dasuke]

Storm let herself drift off into a soft yet peaceful sleep. However all wasn't peaceful inside her mind. Never in her life had she defended someone else, even if their freedom was in danger. What made this stallion so different. It puzzled her so much that she started to confuse herself with her own words for once. Storm not only was confused of this but she also knew that she had to apoligize to Demise. Yes, because Demise was her only other friend, even though Demise should have known nit to cross her or even try to help her while she was livid...Storm could tell that Demise cared about her and even though they weren't Storm had taken Demise in as her little sister. Either way she had to apoligize to her.

[Kurorin]

Relapse looked at Storm as she fell asleep. By then the wound on his leg was fully healed and he could fight once again. His ears flickered back and then he turned his head. Nothing, just nothing.
"Sometimes, I think of why I'm even alive..." he whispered to himself.
