The Two Sisters: Dire-fury Edition

Ch.35: A Frosty Mistake

The group had all rested in Boghoof's house and their wings felt better now and weren't sore, which was a great thing. Even the little pup was well rested and happy to meet new friends, of course chasing after the deer's legs playfully and trying to nom on their antlers. It eventually got close to the time in which they had to leave for their journey, which Boghoof understood. Although something, or someone, would slow them down quite a bit.

The Marsh deer helped the pup onto the basket, all while his antlers were being "attacked" by the little one. "Thank you for letting us rest, mister Boghoof. We really appreciate it." the male nodded, making a silly face at the pup who barked. "It's no problem, young Dark. You are welcome here any time if you do visit once you arrive to the kingdom." he then turned to Raven and Bonnie, giving them a nod. "Take care of your sister, you two. Only the Sun and Moon know what would happen." "We will, Boghoof." Raven stated, turning to her sister who was now standing and picking up the basket. "You ready, sis?" she asked, and the Dire-fury nodded happily. "Alright then, let's go."

Before they even took a step to the door a knock was heard, which made Boghoof jump. He let out a groan, his ears pressing against his head, but went to answer it regardless. Dark seemed confused, wondering who could be at the door. She stayed by her sister's side the whole time, feeling her wing wrap itself around Dark. Raven would not allow whoever was at the door to hurt her sister, and even Argon knew that as well.

Boghoof then opened the door, the hairs on his withers spiking. He let out a sigh, stepping aside to reveal the guest. It was a large female Reindeer, her head was held high as she looked at the Marsh deer. Her fur was shiny, smooth and brushed down, and her antlers were decorated with jewelry, which meant that she was quite rich, but of course that showed as she strutted in with her dragon bodyguard. "Hello, Snowtread..." the Marsh deer mumbled in an annoyed way, which earned a growl from the large white dragon. "Boghoof." she spoke coldly, then turned to a glaring Zarsh. "Zarsh." the Reindeer then stood next to the couch, waiting as the dragon wiped it with his tail before sitting down herself.

Argon grumbled, his eyes narrowing at the female. Tundra creatures are the most entitled creatures in Terraforma, and of course no one outside the extremely cold regions liked them because of this. The dragon heard and growled at the hybrid, to which Argon growled back. The snow dragon got scared since he was smaller than Argon, but masked it by huffing and turning away. Snowtread looked around the room, scanning each creature until her gaze set onto Dark. Almost immediately she switched to a semi-friendly tone and expression. "Ah, your majesty princess Dark! It's quite an honor to meet you at last."

Raven grumbled and sneered, knowing damn well that the Reindeer was using a fake friendly tone just to get on Dark's good side. Dark just nodded, not to be kind to her but to keep her from acting harshly. "Uhm... it's an honor to meet you... Snowtread." The Reindeer just humphed and waved a hoof. "Ah, Lady Snowtread is good, your majesty." "Right.." Raven then hummed, sitting tall and glaring the female down. "Why are you here, Snowtread? What is it that you want here?" at that the Reindeer huffed while glaring at the hybrid, not liking her tone towards her. "It's quite unfortunate, your highness, that such disgusting hybrid lowlives are near you." she stated, ignoring Raven and trying to seem better. "But whatever, they do not matter anyway. I have a proposition for you, your majesty."

Dark suppressed a growl, disliking her family being disrespected. She kept composture, still sitting with her sister. "What is the proposition, Snowtread." she asked, not referring the Reindeer as "Lady" after her behavior. Snowtread grumbled, mumbling a faint "It's Lady Snowtread" before continuing. "I want you to pick my son, Zarsh, to be your mate and your king. I promise that it will prosper in the kingdom very well! Just think about the outcome!" she grinned, sitting up and puffing out her fluffy chest. "A Terraforman Reindeer as king of the Night lands!! Ha! That would be splendid and a proper image on the kingdom!"
