ORIGIN

A shattering echoed within the fog covered area. It was soon followed by a loud thud as the shards of a dark sugallite shot out and away from where they had once formed a perfect Chrysalis. The creature that had fallen and tumbled into the lush foliage below snorted loudly several times as dark onyx eyes quickly looked around. Long pointed ears twisted and swiveled around, listening intently for anything that he could hear. Where am I... The words seemed to echo within his mind. Had it not been for the strange sensation of knowing who that voice belonged to he would have been scared. Only for a moment however. A thick black mane shook as the equine ringed his neck for a moment, pressing his nose against the.

A disgusted snort escaped Erebus. Not at all pleased by the surroundings he had awoken in. A black tail flicked to the side as if in another form to show his discontent. He had been so comfortable and warm where he had previously been. But now he lay upon what he assumed was a wet soggy ground and could barely see anything that wasn't super close to his being. With a deep breath the newborn gembound attempted to rise to his hooves. His legs wobbled a good few seconds before he was finally standing steadily. He took this moment to look around even more, his nostrils flaring out as his ears continued to move.

This place sucked. It smelled bad and he was definitely not fond of his now damp coat. A hoof stamped against the ground, making a squishing noise, but Erebus quickly ignored it as he began to move. Within a few steps the colt suddenly lost his balance and went tumbling down to the ground once again with his limbs all in a tangle. An annoyed whinny escaped the colt as he just as quickly jumped to his feet, bucking his back legs up in a display of anger. Nostril's flaring and chest heaving, Erebus stood there glaring at his own legs. "Work!" He practically shouted to his legs all the while he stomped his front hooves against the ground as if it were his way of punishing his legs for causing him to trip.

When he was satisfied that his legs were going to cooperate with him Erebus snorted and turned his attention to his surroundings once more. Eyes narrowed as he could just barely spot the massive shape of something standing much darker against the never changing mist. Interest quickly peaked for the colt and he started to head towards it. It was large whatever it was so Erebus wanted to know what it was. For a moment he walked closer and closer, his heart starting to drum almost harshly against his chest. His dark onyx eyes were beginning to widen as a strange excitement filled him. Wham! Erebus face planted into the ground again. His hoof having slipped on a particularly slippery patch of moss and mud. An angry and very loud squeal came from the cold as he kicked his legs around in a tantrum before he attempted rolling around until he was right back on his hooves.

Roll post edit:

With a few loud snorts and a deep blowing sound coming from him Erebus just barely got back on his feet. Standing as firmly as he can as he once again went back to glaring at his legs. He didn't quite completely understand why they weren't working like how he wanted them too.

Purple

It wasn't the voice that drew Erebus' attention, but rather the word that was used that drew Erebus to lift his ever glaring eyes up to the creature whom had spoken. His ears shot back and his eyes seemed to narrow even more. "I not Purple!" He hissed, stamping his hoof into the ground again "I Erebus!". How he knew the word was beyond his grasp of knowing, but it felt right and it would be so. He would call himself Erebus. As the smaller creature tried to offer it's help the young colt couldn't help but nicker in amusement to himself. How was this tiny little thing going to provide help to him?

Erebus snorted again. Pondering on his options. Part of him just wanted to get a good look at the tree that this smaller creature was now moving around on, but a bigger part wanted to know just how this little thing was going to try and assist him. "Sure, you help..." He humphed as he studied the thing. He could just barely catch the smell of it, but with the way she stretched out from the branch she had previously been perch on he took a moment to study the fur that covered her.

After a moment Erebus became restless and he took a couple steps forward only to quickly stop he felt the ever sliding of his hooves against the muddy ground. He gave another blow of air through his nostrils and glared down at the ground this time. Why was it all wet in the first place! It was definitely the most annoying thing outside of his improperly working legs since he had awoken.

Erebus snorted a couple times during the mongoose's talking. Then the little thing disappeared up into the fog. He waited, almost anxiously, for the little thing to come back into view. His ears pricked up towards the trees as his onyx eyes searched the mist covered limbs. His legs shuffled beneath him as he quickly grew impatient. When the vine came slapping down against the ground a good few feet away from him Erebus stared at it before giving an incredulous look towards Fang.

Really...

Finally the vine was lifted to him and Erebus listened as Fang spoke again. His eyes followed the vine up until it disappeared into the fog. His eyes narrowed before he gave a hesitant look towards fang before finally leaning his head down to grip the vine with his teeth. With a gulp for even beginning to trust this tiny creature he held onto the vine only as strongly as he needed before he began pulling himself closer and closer to the tree. When he was finally pleased with the proximity he had with the tree, Erebus released the vine from his mouth and now took this time to look at it in thought.

It was large. So large Erebus couldn't even see where exactly it started to round about. It's limbs were spooky, but in a way seemed to be pretty awesome looking to the colt. "So...why are you here? Wake...up here too?" He questioned somberly as he turned his onyx eyes towards the mongoose once more. He murmured a quiet thanks to her for assisting him get to his destination

"It is..." Erebus murmured in response to Fang's comment of the tree being impressive. It truly was and Erebus had every thought to try and walk around it to see just how far around it went. With the ground as wet and slippery as it was, however, would make that annoying and hard. A snort escaped Erebus as his ears flicked back before pushing towards Fang as she began to speak again. "Shinies?" He blinked curiously, wondering what the little mongoose could mean. He craned his neck around and looked towards the place he had woken from. He could still justb arely see the dark purple shars that were starting to sink further and further into the mud. They weren't really shiny covered in mud as they were.

Shaking it off Erebus turned his dark onyx eyes towards Fang again. "What are you called?" He questioned as he flicked his tail about. He tested his hooves on the ground he now stood on. It was still squishy as it was in the other spot, but at least not so much that he was slipping and sliding around. His pelt nearly shivered as the water and mud was finally starting to take its toll and sent small chills down to his very core. "Is there anywhere in this stupid place that doesn't have mud?" Fang had said she had been exploring around. So maybe she knew of a place he could go to get out of the mud and maybe find something that wasn't covered in water and the annoying slop he stood in.

OoC: Sad short post I know. Sorry.

Erebus studied the the fang within the Mongoose's mouth. His ears flicked forward as he gave a tilt of his head as if to see it better. Alas, his attention on it didn't last long as Fang continued speaking, this time giving him a name she called herself. He nickered thoughtfully before looking around in wonder, curious to know if what Fang was saying of dryer land was around. He shifted his hooves, almost grimacing that he had sunk a little into the mud.

As Fang began to speak once more the young colt turned his attention right back to the female and gave a questioning look. His entire body froze when the mongoose leaped at him. It took everything he had not to give into sudden instincts that screamed for him to get the thing off of him. His muscles shivered beneath his soft coat, but soon enough Erebus settled down with a few snorts and constant shifting of his ears. It wasn't so bad now that he stood there for a moment to get used to it. Fang had moved up and perched herself between his ears and he could no longer see her.

"So...which way?" He inquired as he turned half way from the tree and looked away. He was rather eager to get out of this blasted place and far away from the mud. It would be hell to try and get out in the first place, but Erebus was determined to get out. And after he got out and visiting the place Fang had in mind, he would be finding some clean water to wash himself off and maybe even get a drink. Being in such a place made him thirsty, but instincts told him he'd better not attempt drinking such dark and nasty looking water.
