There was a rustle in the grass.

A cold wind swept over the hills. Before it lay summer - behind it little but shivers remained. This wasn't the cold of winter, it was something else, something new.

There were few residents of the valley that didn't take notice. Many heads rose, ears flicking nervously, tails swishing. And in the case of the non equine population, small animals scurried into their dens or burrowed down. Larger predators hissed, moving restlessly, agitated without knowing why.

The grass rustled again.

Suddenly a bird shot up out of the bushes. A black lithe shadow leaped after it.

Her fangs bared, eyes only for her prey, the young filly sprung into the air, snapping after the escaping bird. Managing only a mouthful of feathers, she cantered after it - down the hills - as the bird swooped towards the bottom of the valley.

She spit out the feathers discontently. The mare snorted violently as one managed to catch in a nostril. Tickling her, she started shaking her head, trying to dislodge it. But that and running at the same time downhill turned out to be too much - legs crossing she went down, tumbling over and over.

Eventually coming to a stop further down, Hellion took a moment to collect herself before getting back onto her feet. Shaking herself, the feather rose in the air - to slowly drift down, zig zagging gently.

Sharp fangs closed on it with a snarl. The filly attacked the father with murderous intent. The remains showerd down from her muzzle. She gave the offending article a final snort, tossed her head up and set off at a brisk trot for something fun to do - completely oblivious to whatever was alerting the other denziens of the valley.


Hellion Dark, the newest filly at Darklight Stables. Lithe as a panther, this nightmare/kelpie/demon cross is not someone to come across should you be injured, or percieved as weak. Actually, it's probably best not to come across her at all. She's a handful even for those who knows her.

The nightmares and others of similar nature, will be given a special bit of the valley to roam in - so that they don't pose a danger to the rest of our stable. Far to the west, there's a great rift running across a small portion of the valley and mountains, seperating it from the main block with a chasm so deep there is no visible bottom. Unless they suddenly sprout wings...they should be able to lead a free existence there.
