How utterly rude she thought to herself. Her short muzzle scrunching up a bit, annoyed at the remark they made. She might of been a bit more worn and torn since last they met, but still. He was the last monster she expected to hear those words from.
“Is that SO…”
“When’s the last time you looked in mirror, dear?”
“Right you are, my child.”
The cool summer night breeze that would graze her white fur here and again. It filled her with nostalgia, a bitter-sweetness of the days long gone to her now, but still… Had it really been so long since she last saw the night sky in all it’s majesty? She sighed softly into the summer night, almost completely forgetting where she was.
“You know… No matter how dark things seem to get. They always shine on despite it all… kinda like… you, deary hehe.”
She laughed, nuzzling her nose atop their head playfully. The stars might of been out of her reach, but the child sure wasn’t.

Human… That’s what she called them. Their fallen child from surface world above. The very one and the same they took in as their own. As if they shared anything in common with the filth that killed their son. The audacity of this woman he called his queen.. No, no, no he knew deep inside his pain twisted heart, that war was right path… the only path now.
“Enough!”
“No more will we speak of this. I’ve already made up my mind!”
He snapped, leaving to clear his head. It was so frustrating not being able to do a damn thing about the hurt in he felt inside. The burning in his veins that screamed out for revenge. Yet there was nothing he could do about it. Their son’s killers would rest easy tonight, as an entire kingdom grieved. It was enough to make him sick.
He found his way to the barrier. There freedom and revenge was so close, yet so far away from his grasp.
“Damn them all. First our freedom, and n-now-now our only children. They took everything… EVERYTHING! What I am to do… hmm?! To whom do I turn to with all this anger?! ALL THIS HATE!?”
The beast yelled, striking the barrier over and over with all his might to no avail. Finally he fell to his knees, tired and his fist bloodied.
“Human, HUMANS… Come, I will show you no mercy. ”
