Phury 7.8.12

Phury
{Crouching beside the smoldering stump I could hear the approach of the demon steed, his heavy footfalls resounding in the stillness of the smoke clouded air. I tried to stay calm and hold perfectly still, so as not to reveal my position to Wizard. Not at all sure how I came to be here in the wasteland, but certain that I was not yet ready to face my mental nemesis head on.

It had been awhile since I’d been stalked by him and having his return coincide with the violent return to the mansion of my twin, didn’t escape my notice. Nothing like kicking a male when he was already down… you wizard bastard.

A whirl of ash is sent into the air beside me as the great warhorse stops just on the other side of my position. I can hear his heaving breaths and feel the heaviness his nearness adds to the already oppressive air. Hiding from the one mind that knew my own better than I was never truly an option.

Trying to take a deep breath in the foul air, I stood to my full height and turned to face my longtime companion… only to have that breath catch in my chest and adrenaline hit me hot and hard.

Staring back at me with a pasty white evil grin was the ForeLesser! Unable to stop myself, I jerked backwards and the sudden movement dislodges the stack of papers in my lap.

Eyes flying open to gaze frantically around the room. What the fuck?! Realization registering, I lean back against the headboard almost panting from the surprise. This little unexpected nap really not what I needed today. Son of a bitch, that had felt so real.

Rubbing my face with my hands I toss the remaining student folders aside and with shaking hands reach for my bag of red smoke. It’s siren song and promise of oblivion the only call my stumbling mind wants to hear.} ‪#BBDB‬
