I'm the whisper in the wind,
B L A C K W A T E R ; ;
and the darkness in the depths.
The cool breeze was hardly perceptible,and even the cricket songs were silenced.There was no moon out,but the sky held not a single cloud,leaving the many stars to fleck the great blackness.A lone wolf sang a low and desperate song far off in the hills,and it faded back into the night.The leaves rustled soflty,their green colors shaded by hues of blue and black.The darkenss was eminent.
I come from a place of Lights and Darks and Neutrals.And here too,the horses seem to be sorted into categories.These freaks of nature can bend the elements,a power I envy.I guess you could say I'm still a Dark,even if I'm not in that world anymore.
My past is not pleasant,to say the least.To make a long story short,I murdered my father.He was soft-hearted,though he called himself Dark.I was the heir to the throne,and at the age of three,I made my move.Unwritten had had his time,but he was also legend there.No one could see sense in his death,and so I left.Not ran,left.RLTW is not my place,but I could see a future here.
I guess you should know the story of my scar,also.The orb was blue;I was a double image of my father.And in his last moments,I was no longer his son.He made sure to remove the trademark of his lines.A low chuckle was emitted from my jaws at this thought.The poor bastard..he never had a chance.He thought he could take me,but look who's lying in the grave.And I live on,here to start a new life while he rots in hell.

The pounding of hooves break the silence in the night air. For all was at peace in this part until my presence was known to others around. The night was cool and welcoming to me, as I ran across this new place. I was in a new land, and I supposed that I would be able to start a new life here, maybe even find a family. But it was unlikely, my parents hated me, so how would I find anyone else that would care? Bringing my gallop to a slow stop I sighed, letting my head hang gently. Walking now as my breathing settled, my form being so small, I could be killed at any moment. But I wouldn't let it happen, I would run, run like I did from everything. Everything I eve encountered I ran from, and thats what I intended to continue doing.
Stopping I spotted something in the distance, another horse. But an adult, shaking my head I let out a heavy breathe. Would I even be able to talk to this adult? Maybe I should just hide from him, thats what I did with most, stayed out of their way. But I was never going to find someone who cared without at least saying hi to them, and that I knew. Walking over to him slowly, I nervously looked to him. Keeping my distance I forced a smile, "Hello, I'm bella." I spoke softly. Making sure to keep my tone gentle, despite how scared I was of being around him.

I'm the whisper in the wind,
B L A C K W A T E R ; ;
and the darkness in the depths.
An ebony slate torn the soft ground beneath my dark frame.I was satisfied by the deep scores and ruts I had made while I plotted out my new life. My audits swiveled on their own,and I brought my skull up to meet the sound of hoof beats racing along somewhere near by.Giant boulder silhouettes dotted the night scene,and the ground shone with the moonlight.I saw a figure galloping in between the massive rocks,and I stood steadily watching it as it darted around.A snort was emitted from my nares.Foolish elementals have nothing better to do than frolic in the night.
But I was brought to attention when the equine turned and began moving in my direction.As it neared,it became obvious it was a wench,and a young one at that.A devious smirk was plastered to my features.She was prey walking right into a trap,blindly moving forward.When she stopped,I could tell she was wary of me.It was a curious thing,because she greeted me with a formal tone.Mice did not simply walk right up to a cat and introduce themselves,and so I was captured for a moment.
The brain began creating ideas,and they were sent scrambling about in my skull.The smirk slowly returned,and my ivories glinted under the moon,accompanied by an eerie glowing orb.I stood with my nape lowered,but not quite level with my top line.At her eye level,I forced eye contact,but then quickly changed my appearance,on a turn of thoughts.
The smirk was erased,and I raised my skull in an nonthreatening matter.I smiled at the girl,nodding my cranium at her greeting.
Ah,hello Bella..such a lovely name.I am Blackwater.Tell me dear.What might you be doing out at night,and so alone?You know there are those who are not very kind at heart,who would make your little walk end disatrously..
I kept a friendly tone,still smiling at the young mare.I gently swished my whipcord in hidden anticipation,still not entirely sure what I would do with her yet.But I knew well enough not to scare her off.I knew she would be of some use,and to earn that use I had to gain her trust.

Mind racing with unsure thoughts about this stranger I watched him curiously. He was an adult yet my father was much more muscular then this stallion. Of course it could be our breed difference, for I was pure bred clydesdale and his breed probably had a smaller build then the clydesdale's did. Ears perked curiously, for this stallion didn't seem annoyed or seem that he didn't want her around at all. Letting the smile fade from my face, my tail swished gently as the stallion spoke.
His tone was calm, and I took notice to that, for trust was not something I had a lot of. Tilting my head gently to the side I grinned before speaking once more replying to what he had said. "Thanks, your names cool, I like it. I'm always alone, so its alright, my dad killed my mother, and my dad tried to kill me. I just wasn't what he wanted....."I explained to him, my voice drifting off near the end. I wasn't what my dad wanted and I never would be, of course if my mother were still around she would care about me. It would be amazing if my mother were still here, then I would be cared about by someone. Sighing I shook that off my mind and brought my focus back to Blackwater, so far he seemed nice enough to befriend. But I wasn't going to let my guard down that easily. Shifting my position slightly I waited patiently for hi reply, thinking about other things as well.

I'm the whisper in the wind,
B L A C K W A T E R ; ;
and the darkness in the depths.
With sadistic cunning I formulated a plan of active with a rushed speed.It was all beginning to fold out before me,and my ambitions were as high as ever.Nothing had ever remained an obstruction to me before.Unwritten had brought his queen to see him to his death,and the wench was uncomplicated to hold back.Crescendo and Unwritten had speculated they could oppose me successfully,but they were at fault.So,so mistaken they were.
My future endeavors will not be revealed just yet.My knack for timing has never let me down in previous times,nor shall it in current and future times.
A snort was held back as the girl began to spill out her past.I had no need for silly recollections of someone else's history,but I listened with faux intent attention nonetheless.When she was finally done digressing from my original candy-coated words,I nodding sympathetically,adjusting my features to match.
That's too bad.But you know,some thing just happen like that,young one.And you can only move on.
Hidden within my dark and secretive thoughts was a new,crude one.Her father failed at killing her,and for that he is deemed weak by me.This was just a mental note that decided to edge its way into my conscious.
But you are never alone.Fellow equines,like myself,would be ecstatic to make you an addition in their life.
The word ecstatic was hissed in a melodramatic manner,and a smirk was once more plastered to my starless and scared face.
To mask the partly sinister expression,I added a friendlier tone to my next set of lyrics.
Are you a bender?

His words met my ears and I put them to consideration immediately. I had been moving on and I was rather happy to be away from my father. It was merely my mother that I missed, my father was nothing. Nothing but a murderer, he must of gotten his son he always wanted out of his new mate though. Otherwise he would probably still be out searching for me and not so distracted. When Blackwater spoke again a wave of doubt came into my mind. Who would want an abandoned young filly in their family? Or even in their lives? Other horses had to be too busy with their own kids to worry about some stray one that just happened to wander along. But Blackwater seemed to be alone, no mate, no foals. Perhaps he meant something by what he said, perhaps I could become apart of his life.
When the final words he spoke met my ears I perked them towards him. Of course I was a bender, not very good yet, but I was getting there. Giving Blackwater a grin, I was gonna show off to him, but decided not to. He could get irritated with me, so with a gentle nod I smiled. "Yeah, earth." I told him simply keeping that gentle smile upon my features.

Seeing this young wench stand before me,I thought back to my own foalhood,and a murderous expression was left out of the picture with great difficulty.My brother,my twin.He had long since been forgotten,his calling erased from my memory.He was a mirror image of me,and I was a mirror image of daddy dearest.Being born first,my brother was chosen to be the heir over me,a deadly decision on Unwritten's part.They bonded day in and day out,and I was always left behind.And then the day came when my darling sibling mysteriously...dissapeared.Unwritten was fraught with grief and despair,but no matter.He was murdered not long after his son...
I shook my charcoal skull as if the shake the foolish recallings right out of my mind.The past is no longer of need to me,and my attention was once more focused on the filly and what I was to do with her.
I could see hope in her face,and scorned it when her orbs were not directly upon me.When she spoke,I could not help but grin.
That is good...you know you have a special talent that not everyone has.Like me.I am not a bender I stated simply,gazing down at her to observe what sort of effect my lyrics had on her with my one good orb.I could tell she was eager to show me,and with a muffled sigh I spoke again.Really,I hated children.
Why don't you show me what you can do,dear?

Ears perked in Blackwater's direction, my mind cloudy with a million thoughts. Could he be someone I could stay with? Someone to take my fathers place? And teach me what I failed to learn about being well, a horse. Of course Blackwater could not teach me how to bend as he just spoke he was not a bender, but he could teach me other things. Important skills of surviving through this world. He could be like my dad, but a lot better.
When he told me to show him what I could do I grinned, this was what I was waiting for. To show off what I did know, hopefully I wouldn't disappoint him. Backing a little ways away from him I neighed eagerly. Coming down hard with my front hooves, the earth came up around me. The stone creating a barrier, a shield from danger. This was something I had learned when I was on my own, when I needed to protect myself from predators. The barrier went all the way up over my head, creating a complete shield from the outside world. Grinning, I brought the shield down, letting it crumble at my hooves. Smirking at Blackwater, I was proud of what I had done, and hoped he would be as well.

Flattery and beneficent words seemed to be effective on the child,and so I had no intention on fixing what was not broken.I was rather pleased that I could put on a face clever enough to fool another,and a complacent attitude was growing within my chambers.Amid my thoughts there was a violent jarring as the earth ruptured from its calm stance before me.My feathered pedestals carried me a step back before I realized what had happened.The filla had caused the terrain to rise up and encase the atmosphere that surrounded her being.A smug expression became plastered to my face,but it was quickly erased as Bella returned her gaze to me.I mirrored her illustrious countenance,contented by her ability.And final doubts about her not being a bender were erased,and I compensated for my previous step back with a step forward.
That was very good,Bella.You are advanced for your age my confidence-building baritones rang,emitted into the temperate night.
My gaze hardened suddenly.
But you need practice.Tell me,child,what are your plans?
I would have her,oh yes,no matter her 'plans' for the future.I would take her captive,if the need arose.Nothing a little brainwashing can't fix..
