XEMIUS DEIMOIS [The Hell Horse]

kah's been playing a lot of rdr ok

[LAD]

Roman Pierce & Yasha Neko

Both had traveled for quite sometime. Roman needed to exert energy that he had stored while being among Visuna and her cubs. Yasha had needed a break and to sort out her thoughts from among La Morte and Meurtrier. She had enjoyed seeing all of her babies again, but something horrible still pricked within her pelt. Her eyes narrowed as she listened to her Demi whispering words into her ear. They were having a conversation when her demon alerted her to something ahead. Amber eyes flicked upwards. On one end was another creature - taller than her, nearly pure black if not for the hint of the maroon mane. Another was... Something she had not come across before, but she was intrigued. She moved closer and paused twenty feet away, tilting her head curiously at the creature as she eyed its every detail.

Roman had merely been wandering when he too paused. In the distance on one end, a white creature with a maroon mane and underfur. On the other side some creature that he could already tell was probably arrogant. Most creatures who had what would appear to be frightening normally were arrogant. He would admit on some level he was arrogant - but for different reasons. He too, closed in on the two of them, stopping twenty feet away as well.

But for the two who stood before the Hell Horse, neither realized they were standing across from their blood sibling. Neither cared to realize it, nor could they realize it. Time had changed so much that all they had was the young adolescent in their mind from the past of the other, and Yasha wouldn't have believed it even if she knew it to be true with proof. Her demon however had gotten rather quiet. Roman's instincts quelled under the presence of the other. Something was different about this meeting. Amber and gold eyes turned from each other though, to eye the large hell horse for a moment.

"Intriguing." Yasha was the first to speak as she looked him over.

"I have not seen one like you." Roman complimented seconds after as he too, took in the hell horse's appearance.[/blockquote][/font]

[/i] After he had calmed down, that was all he asked, and turned his head over his shoulder to glance at the other. "In only the best of ways, I had better hope." He shouted at her, a hoof slamming into the ground as if it demanded praise. Praise or battle. You only had two options. [/ul][/blockquote]

Yasha Neko & Roman Pierce

Both at the same time snorted in amusement now, and at the same time made a comment. "Never seen you." An odd glance was shared between the two. Another odd feeling bottled within them both. Another quieting of their instincts and demons. What on earth? Yasha had only commented though to make her presence known. Eyes instantly cast back to the horse like creature and Yasha tilted her head a bit - she could make her guesses as to why she'd been dismissed and in this instance it didn't bother her.

A smirk crossed her face however. "Intriguing can only mean one way really. I wouldn't be interested in something that was boring of course." She said nonchalant, her voice lightly teasing as she looked upon the hell horse. At once, both of them sat down....

Roman took his turn to speak, "What are you anyway?"

Yasha hmm'd in agreement and spoke again, "And for that matter, who are you?" Though a name was not really required and she wasn't sure she'd give her name up anyway if it was asked in return.

[kahara]

XEMIUS DEIMOIS [The Hell Horse]

[/i] Xemius sneered as if that was what she had intended it to mean. Then he turned back around to the male. "A hell horse!" He stomped the ground and shook his head as he neighed. Xemius was insulted that they didn't know! Though he shouldn't be so surprised. He was really one of a kind. "Xemius Deimois!" With that he turned back to the female and gave a stomp and nod. "And what about you both? What species are you?" Xemius didn't care much for names. It was species that mattered. They could prove stronger than they appeared if their species was known to him; they their species would not be.[/ul][/blockquote]

[LAD]

Yasha Neko & Roman Pierce

Yasha snorted this time, Roman chuckled both shook their heads at the hell horse. "No more than we know what your species is - you would not know mine." Roman spoke, and then he stood. Yasha's amber eyes glued on him though, narrowed in thought. But she spoke second. "Nor would you know my species."

And as if a threat had laced the air, Yasha's demon returned, murmuring words to her, quickly briefly, and Roman's fur bristled as his instincts came back to him tenfold. Gold and amber clashed again, lips curled back briefly before they both calmed. As if their exchange had not happened they turned to the hell horse, Xemius Deimois. "And I've no need to divulge my species to you. We are a secretive kind." Yasha spoke, her tone neutral.

Another bout of narrowed eyes at one another as Roman spoke his agreement. "As is my kind." Why could they not place this other creature that seemed so familiar to the other? Though Yasha turned back to Xemius. "I have heard of your kind though, now that you mention your species." She tilted her head upwards to meet his gaze though. "Why would species matter to an incredible beast like you?" Yes, that was a compliment, a preening one too. Yasha knew how to wittle her way through anything. After all, though neither feline knew it, Yasha had more time on this land than Roman had.

[/i] Xemius moved back and forth as he waited for one of them to give him an answer.[/ul][/blockquote]

[LAD]

Yasha Neko & Roman Pierce

Yasha's gaze narrowed at Xemius and Roman's lips curled back. Both at the same time answered the beast, their voices laced with pure annoyance. "I am a Demi-Dieu." The lashed out before their eyes landed on one another once more as pure shock laced up their veins. However... First they had an arrogant creature to deal with.

Yasha's gaze flicked back to the horse. "You will do well to not talk down onto us - you've no idea what we are capable of."

Roman continued, "Nor do you know anything about us in the first place." He retorted. His gold gaze landed back on Yasha. Something else prickled at him and his lips curled back. "Pós na vreíte to drómo sas se aftó to Vasíleio?" He growled out.

Yasha tensed and a snarl bubbled up from her maw. "Den milás gia ména san na échete to dikaíoma, ótan den to kánoun." She growled back. Her eyes flicked back to the Hell Horse. "I'd ask for forgiveness for such rudeness, but I get the feeling you would not mind."

Roman snorted. "Eseís kai o Vasilikós tous trópous sas." He lashed out. Then paused, a grin crossing his features now. Demented as it was. "Se xéro eséna." Roman tossed his head back, laughing now. He pranced a few paces back, still laughing. "Se xéro eséna!"

Yasha's stance whipped back to Roman and her growl heightened in volume at him. "Mind your place, Dieu!" Her tail lashed. "This is not our Realm, and you will do well to learn that!" Roman grinned cheekily, bowing down on his front paws eloquently.

"Yes, m'lady." He tossed back, chuckling again.

Yasha tensed further, already standing on the tips of her toes. However she redirected her attention back to the hell horse, wanting to ignore the creature before her. "Since now you know a bit about us, why don't you tell us about your species."

Pós na vreíte to drómo sas se aftó to Vasíleio? - How did you find your way into this Realm?

Den milás gia ména san na échete to dikaíoma, ótan den to kánoun. - You do not speak to me as if you have the right when you do not.

Eseís kai o Vasilikós tous trópous sas. - You and your Queenly ways.

Se xéro eséna. - I know you.

[/i] Xemius turned at the male as he laughed and stomped a hoof. "From both of you! Hilarious!" He lashed back around and stared down at Yasha. "If you knew what I was, of my species, as you claim, you would not make such threats." He hissed. It was in reference to her telling him not to speak down to them, for their capabilities, implied, may surpass his own. Xemius was a stubborn hell horse.

"One for one! A hell horse I am. Both of feline and horse, and the blood of a powerful demon." And that was all he said as he waited for their replies.[/ul][/blockquote]

[LAD]

Yasha Neko & Roman Pierce

Both quieted as they watched Xemius prance around a bit. If this had been anime they would have sweat dropped in that style as they kept their gaze on him. Their gaze flicked to one another, but Roman was still in his mock bow and his cheeky grin grew. "You explain, mi'lady. It is up to you, of course."

However that cheeky grin faded as he turned to their language. "Kai tha pístev̱e mas na eínai oi períergoi týpoi."

Yasha couldn't help the twitch of her lip that came with that statement but she would not indulge this misguided Demi-Dieu any further than she already had. A paw step forward placed her close to the Hell Horse as she tilted her head. "Perhaps I would not make such claims if I knew more about you. However, similar to you, our kind also contain the blood of powerful demons. We are not of this Realm, or world. However you would like to call it. We endure pain and suffering like no other - in fact, we reveal in it. We crave the blood of our enemies. We crave their own suffering, we crave their deaths." She informed the beast, a smile crossing her features with each and every word she spoke. "And when we want their death..." A darkness entered her gaze as she continued, revealing in the hum of her demon within as she spoke, "We take it in the most painful way possible." She chuckled after that statement, and Roman stood from his mock bow.

"Bravo, mi'lady. Well explained." His eyes cast up to the hell horse. "Species for species. We tell you something you tell us something, sounds like an ideal plan." As if the earlier drama had simply... Disappeared. They were in their element now, for some reason or another...

Yasha snorted however, her amber gaze turning back onto him. "Milás tóso makriá tis thiteías, eínai enochlitikó." She commented lightly. Roman glared at her. Well... Maybe that drama was not entirely gone.

Kai tha písteve mas na eínai oi períergoi týpoi - And he would believe us to be the weird ones.

Milás tóso makriá tis thiteías, eínai enochlitikó. - You speak so far out of term, it it annoying.

[/i] Xemius stomped the ground. From there several cracked branched out, and soon after it sounded as if a stampede was headed there way. It was in the distance, granted, but there it was. Horses of the undead, with felines to herd them in the right direction. You could see through them, but that did not mean they couldn't fight or be harmed. Before they could reach, however, he stomped again and the cracked closed up, and with them vanished the approaching herd. Xemius was clearly quite pleased with himself. As he felt he should be. It took him several months to accomplish that without fault, and even now and then it didn't work as planned. Such as the time he stomped the ground so hard he fell into a cavern of mud and water.

"I display clear incredibly strength and durability!" He moved around in a circle to show off, tossing his head with a wicked grin, revealing more of those terrible teeth. "My bite can crush skulls and my hooves can shatter rib cages. Impressive, am I not?" Xemius stopped to glance between both of them, waiting for praise and admiration.[/ul][/blockquote]

[LAD]

Yasha Neko & Roman Pierce

Both amber and gold flicked up to Xemius as he took the spotlight and they let him, watching what he did, what he created, what he did. "Powers" was not a thing granted to Demi-Dieu's - and to them, any demon who needed powers to win their battles was ridiculous. A glance was shared after the display before they looked back up to Xemius.

"An impressive display indeed." Yasha said, her tone still neutral. "What else can you do that does not require the power of the undead?" Curiosity peaked at her, sure, but she really could not say that found it completely unique - she had heard of others with this capability. However... In his fighting capabilities - that she was interested in, and it showed in her voice as her question was directed towards his last statement.

"Ah, ah, m'lady. You've an agreement." Roman corrected, his voice mocking slightly.

Yasha narrowed her gaze at him before flicking her tail and shrugged. "Not much I'm willing to share beyond what I said before. Our secrets remain our own. Í mípos xechnáme óti? Ílíthia." Yasha's eyes rolled then at her last word.

Another growl burst forth from Roman's mouth. "Ya know, maybe Xemius is right. You should not toss around idle threats."

"They aren't threats, but if they were, they would not be idle. You men think you're such hotshots." She hissed out. "And you still can't mind your place can you, Dieu?" She glared hotly at him, but Roman simply shrugged, calmed once more.

"Not with you I can't, Demi." He said, his voice mocking her tone.

Í mípos xechnáme óti? Ílíthia. - Or did you forget that? Idiot.

[kahara]

XEMIUS DEIMOIS [The Hell Horse]

[/i] He snorted and stomped the ground in anger. "Get out of here! You waste my time and space, female." Xemius bucked and scratched the ground, ready to charge Yasha if she opposed him. No one dared! Those who did weren't often worthy of his own praise and goodwill, and even should she surpass him in battle, she had proven too cocky for Xemius's tastes. He'd only welcome Roman in his outstretch of land.[/ul][/blockquote]

[LAD]

Yasha Neko & Roman Pierce

Yasha's head tossed back as a loud laugh erupted from her maw. "In your species, males may be the superior gender!" Another laugh burst forth. "But you know nothing about our species!" Clearly and totally amused Yasha paced a bit before her amber eyes locked on Roman and before he could even do anything about it something burst forth from Yasha's being. Xemius - being a demon himself, would be able to glimpse what was to happen, but in no way would he be able to stop it as Yasha's demon took to the air before them and with a force that was only allowed between Demi-Dieu to Demi-Dieu, entered and encaged Roman's mind.

But she had done something rather grave with this one move. Within this one movement of incapacitating Roman and enclosing his mind, forcing Roman to bend to her will as she and her demon forcefully shoved the male Demi to the ground, she learned of him. She learned who the male standing before her was, and she also revealed to him who she was, along with a few other memories that were not supposed to be privy to him but in her learning of her brother's presence she slipped up.

A gasp escaped her maw, her concentration broke and her demon snapped back into her own mind, her own body and Yasha stumbled backwards, even as Roman lay on the ground on his belly, panting with the force of trying and failing to fight her off. It was her birthright - but it was also his. He matched her... And maybe he even overpowered her. She could not be so sure with the briefness of what had just occurred. Yasha, for the first time in a long time, felt fear.

She could not try what she had just done again, but she watched as Roman lay there, pain clear across his visage as he had yet to regain mobility. But she did take a few more steps back as she watched him, as she was also weary of the Hell horse now. In this moment of weakness he could very well charge her or turn on her brother - and she honestly didn't know how she felt about her brother being there before her - in this Realm. Worry brushed at her for a split moment before she focused - but her mind was whirling, humming as she and her demon spoke quickly toward one another.
