Subject: .; stop .appearance.

A dark shape swoops down and lands on the ground, folding his wings neatly. Yes, this will do. He settles down to graze.

"Hello, son." The voice comes from behind Sombra. He jumps, and whirls to face the stranger. "Who...?"

"My name is Aswad. I am your father, Sombra." The strangest creature Sombra has ever seen walks towards him. "I'm glad they didn't call you anything stupid like New Moon. I would have had to change it, and it's always a pain to try and get someone to respond to a name they've never heard before." He begins to pace around Sombra, inspecting the colt. "You haven't turned out half bad -- a true blackblood." He halts at Sombra's side. "Ahh...but what is this I sense? Doubt? Regret?" He stares at Sombra, who supresses a shudder, for those eyes are colder than his own. "And...how curious...love, for the sister who refused her heritage. That will soon be fixed." He begins to pace again, until he stands in front of Sombra. "These emotions must not be permitted to remain, if you are to be a true blackblood. Therefore, this task I set you: Your twin now travels through Mount Enchantment. Kill her." Sombra jerks his head up and looks at his father, horrified. "She is a traitor. She refused her own kin, abandoned even the alliance she chose to side with. Such a traitor is worse than a blackblood, for blackbloods, at least, remain loyal to each other." However reluctant he is, Sombra can see Aswad's point. His twin has betrayed everything to which her loyalty should belong. Seeing this, Aswad grins, revealing sharp, wicked fangs. "I will take you to her." He reaches out and touches Sombra on the shoulder, and the two disappear.
