The red stallion turned toward Somnus as he approaches, aware that the stallion held a regal posturing here.  He didn’t have to wonder if Somnus was the king, for the way that the mares deferred to him was notion enough that Metaphor bowed his head in a sign of respect.  Leveler heads seemed to now be prevailing, and he appreciated the sense of order that arrived with the leader of Delumine.  For a moment, Metaphor is reminded of the terrible fate of Sydan and then the Vale, which burned from the madness of the gods.  He has to wonder what creature created such a bloody scene as well, though he doubts the gods of Novus would stoop to such trivial things as killing off a couple of mortals.  In his experience, gods tended to focus on bigger matters than the lives of one or two.

I can only speculate that it was something of a demonic nature, for I have only seen tracks like these where demon blood was involved.  Shivering at the thought, Metaphor hoped he was wrong… for hell’s creatures were not made to dwell among the living.  If it was a demon, none of them were safe.  Even their magics would be no match for the darkness, though he was certain this group would put up a valiant fight.

Staring again at the tracks, he nodded in agreement that they should find the source.  Guards are a good idea.  For truly, they could not be safe while such a creature was on the loose.  I am happy to send for reinforcements from my court, should you wish some additional bodies.  Even though Metaphor was new to the Night Court, he knew that they would fight.  Katniss would, at least.  He knew his beloved to be a valiant and honorable fighter… and if her quest to become leader of Denocte's soldiers came to fruition, Metaphor had no doubt that she could rally an army.

In the meantime, I am happy to trace the tracks, should it be of assistance.  Maaemo’s orb glowed a bit brighter at the thought – reminding him of a lifetime ago where he had the blessing of the earth goddess upon him.  With Maaemo at his back, Metaphor had known a life without fear… but he knew just as well that she was gone and far from this wild place.  He knew, and yet he accepted the idea that his own life could be put in jeopardy.  For if the beast had found its way to Delumine, it would only be a matter of time until Denocte could fall.  The bodies in the forest could have easily been Katniss and himself… and he would not stand idly aside to see all that she’d built fall to ruin.
