Subject: . black .

There is a sense of wrongness, as a shadow passes overhead. Immense, batlike wings lift through the air a body not made for flight, and the creature lands 'pon jagged outcropping of rock, surveying the land.

This is a hurrok, one of those strange creatures with the body of a horse - and yet with a few gruesome changes. Immense, batlike wings sprout forth from the creature's sides; rather than a grazer's flat teeth, hurroks sport predator's fangs. Predator's claws take the place of hooves. However, of all these, the strangest change is the eyes, set t'wards the front of the head, rather than the side, as a prey animal's eyes should be.

Silver claws are flexed, raking 'cross the rock 'pon which this strange steed stands, as those chilling eyes sweep the land. There is a nod of approval, ever so slight. This is where he shall stay.

To signify his claim on the area, the black hurrok rears and emits a piercing scream. Batlike wings are spread, yet hind legs remain 'pon the ground. He lands, and leaps forth, soaring down to find a place to spend the night. This territory belongs to Aswad.
