He said she would be a tasty morsel. He was going to eat her. Fear filled her little heart, causing its pace to speed exponentially; but he didn’t move closer to bite her. She stared, frozen, through her button eyes, but still he made no move to attack. What was his angle? Was this a game to him? Was he going to lunge in a moment, after ensuring she was properly terrified? She couldn’t stop the shaking of her body as the fear remained, though trying to lessen. Then he laughed. Was he mocking her? She stared at him for a moment, and then decided he was not mocking her, and was not being threatening. Slowly, her little body began to relax and the quivering slowed to nothing. Perhaps, a tiny voice in her mind told her, this could be her new Iago.
Night Court? How had she gotten so mixed up that she wound up here? She was simply trying to find the gods; to see which one might help her with her wildest dreams. How had she found herself here? A flare of panic rose in her chest, but she fought to control it. This wasn’t good. Weren’t these horses bloodthirsty? Wouldn’t they keep her prisoner for all time? This one didn’t seem so bad…but what of the others? Certainly there were others. Wait…did he say sovereign? She had just crashed into the king of this herd? She knew she was in for it, and her arched neck bent slightly, dropping her head.
”I am Coraline, a nobody of the Dawn Court. I’m not sure how I found myself here. I seem to be turned around.”
Her little voice was sweet, soft, and still edged with uncertainty. The filly, in all appearances, was a mature mare; but her mind was certainly not. Childish fears still tugged at her; nightmares still followed her. And this was one of the worst ones. A stallion…a king stallion from another herd; one she had crashed into; one who had said she would be tasty… and she was knee-deep in his herd with no way of knowing how to get home. Yep. She was done for.
”Seems to happen a lot.” Her little face scrunched up in frustration. How could she have been born with no talents? She can’t find a direction to save her life, and on top if it all…she has button eyes! The filly sighed softly, wondering if he was going to eat her now, or later.

ooc: sorry... my computer's screen took a crap and I can't get into it. I'll see if I can pull HTML from here for her until I get my stupid laptop fixed. :/
