Of Lord, Heros and Horses

Torment In All Manners

This song is basically Eros in a nut shell xD 

Horse P.O.V.

"I told you to leave me alone." The mare hissed, whipping Eros's face with her midnight black tail. It didn't deter the male. Whom continued following her as she tried to find a way in. Seeking out the boy that could very well be trapped inside the odd fortress.

Eros merely tailed her with a smug look on his face as she tried and failed to determine how to get inside.

"Si but how could I leave such a helpless beauty alone on the volcano." Eros rumbled in mild amusement as she pushed her shoulder against what appeared to be a stone door with no handle or knob.

"You know I should mention the boy was moved about an hour before you arrived." Eros snorted in a sarcastic manner. Truly he took after Ghirahim. Elidora abruptly stopped, snorting as she turned to give him a scathing horse glare. Ears pinned and all.

"Apparently the child's good at escaping..." Eros bantered on, watching the mare throw a fit in the corner of his eye.

"And you decided to tell me now?" She brayed loudly. Stomping her hoof into the ground. "But it would be an honor to escort you to him my dear." Eros was a foot away from her face now, smiling down at her with his greater height. That ever smug smile on his features.

It was almost too hard to not resist. Almost. Rolling those bright brown eyes the golden mare gave a deep sigh. Looking up at the pale steed with a mildly annoyed expression. "Lead the way." She uttered through clenched teeth.

Honestly she didn't want to be following a stallion of all things but she knew not the way. Sadly Eros knew and she'd just have to put up with him.

"Let's go my lady." said the shiny white steed, taking the lead down the path. Keeping a few feet behind Eros as much as she could. "The boy, you know him long?" The stallion questioned with a nicker. "No I met him not long ago." She replied after a moment of hesitation.

"Interesting. So tell me what's a wild mare like you doing with the hero of legend hmm?" Eros's question sparked a bit of confusion in Elidora. 'Hero of legend?' She knew not what he was talking about nor did she think much about it.

"I spent my fair share in the hands of people like the boy and you're human." She snorted, turning away from his curious gaze. "Pfft a human. No. Demon." Eros slowed down his pace so he was side to side with the mare.

"He has two legs, two arms and talks like a human. There is literally no difference." She counters with a snarky tone. Picking up the pace to a lazy trot.

Of course Eros followed suit, placing himself slightly in front of the golden mare. "So what led you to the child?" Again with the questions. Snorting she decided to act out with attitude. "I don't know. Maybe it was that sword angel or the fact that he reminded me of someone." Elidora noticed Eros begining to lean on her. She snorted and pushed him away with her shoulder. "Ow." He brayed with a saddened look on his face.

"So who was that someone?" The stallion sounded offended. Or just jealous. "A boy, perhaps a bit younger than the boy." Eros settled down at the confirmation that it was not another stallion.

They took a right, turning their backs on the now distance volcano. Heading back down towards the forest on the horizon.At this point the mare was sure that was where they were heading and took the lead for now. Eros oddly enough let her had the satisfaction. If only to serve his own wants. At some point Eros tripped on a rock but just before it happened Elidora uttered a "Careful and stop staring at my backside. You aren't getting anywhere with me."

"That's what you think." Eros countered with a happy nicker. "Look the faster we get there the happier I'll be." Elidora added, turning to look at the stallion with a faux smile. Knowing the stallion would fall for the seed of hope she just planted in his mind.

Of course it was all just a ruse. She didn't like him and nor would she put up with him after she got the boy back.

"Well why didn't you say so sweetheart." Chirped and cuffed happily. With ease he broke into a canter, using those long legs and lean body to push himself to a desirable pace with just a few seconds.

Elidora followed suit, bringing herself up to a canter. Sure it took her longer to do so but in the end she was lazily strolling along behind him. Eros might have speed in him but she was positive she had much more stamina than him, she was required to learn out in the wild after all.

"You know if you didn't were those metal shoes you wouldn't be so unaware of random rocks and so on." Elidora loudly chimed from a foot behind him. Those ears turns back to face her. A singular eye turned to gaze at her with an odd look.

"You would know what I'm talking about if you were born in the wild." Eros sped up into a gallop, the mare didn't blame him.

The mare could feel that it was going to be a long run so she quieted herself down and followed him in silence.

Unknown Location

A blade cut through the air and met flesh with ease. The blade saber of the demon lord skewered into the young hero's shoulder.

"I'll ask you again. Where. Is. The. Second. Time. Gate?!" A very angry Ghirahim snarled, twisting the blade as the hero only let a concealed grunt of pain. Link still held his tongue, biting on his lip to conceal the cries of pain.

"WELL?" The demon lord snarled in rage. Ripping the blade out only to stab it back down into the same wound. Twisting and turning the blade. Pushing deeper and deeper until the blade hit the stone wall the hero was chained mercilessly to.

Blue eyes that were squinted shut opened to glare at the demon torturing him. The unbreakable spirit he possessed gave him the will to not give in to the demon's blasted tormenting.

"I'm not telling you shit!" Hissed the young hero, struggling against his bonds. Sure it was useless but it proved a point. It proved that he wasn't going to give in and beg for mercy, that he was dedicated to Hylia's cause. His destiny.

"So insufferable Skychild." Ghirahim seeing as physical damage wasn't getting anywhere decided to change tactics. Pulling his blade out with an agonizing slowness, smiling cruelly as he watched the boy's face curl up in immense pain.

"Perhaps you would be more compliant if I torture one of your friends instead." The prospect of seeing one of his friends get the same treatment as he terrified him. Those sky blue eyes widening just thinking about it.

Link could only look on as a dark smile spread across the demon lord's face.

"No..."
