Living in the mortal realm had definitely been a fun trip for the four-year-old. She'd enjoyed pissing off the mares, and stealing the stallions before killing them. She had really enjoyed seducing the dumb stallions before ending their miserable lives. The liver chestnut tobiano sabino mare blinked open her amber voids to gaze out into the void of gray. A miserable place to be, but to Zoraida it brought a kind of solace. Sure, she'd enjoy seeing color again, but for now, the grayscale landscape would have to do. Raising to stand on gray cloven hooves, the uniquely marked maiden stretched. Her dark to light chestnut mane and tail slowly dragged on the ground as she moved around the void. The flowers were so dull that she dare not touch them, not wanting them to spoil her perfect bodice - as she would put it. Slowly, she began to miss the thrill of the kill. It was evident in her eyes that she missed being able to watch the soul drain from the eyes of the stallions and mares that she killed. She hoped - one day - that she would be able to do it again, to damn them to Hell, but for now, she would have to deal with the blandness of Asphodel, at least until another came to take her to her forever home.

A displeased and rather bored sigh left the copper wench as she stretched out the long slender limbs. It had only been a few days since her coronation and already she was getting tired of being dormant. While Teca could conjure up some form of entertainment, it was quite the same as finding someone else to bother or them coming to her for an audience. Maybe she should go and visit Krissy again, their first meeting had been quite a joy, a much welcome rush since taking her place as Lady. Teca shivered at the thought though that was until they shifted to that drab and dreary place she was in before Xerxes took her to the Underworld. Apostle had so many lost souls and lacked life and colour. It then crossed her mind that maybe while looking for something to do, it could also be something productive, like bringing back another soul. Mictecacihuatl's lips curled into a sneer at the thought of another joining their ranks, maybe she will give them a task to bring another with them in the form of a soul in return for them being accepted into her domain. The prospect of adding another soul or two to their ranks was almost as exciting as the new soul growing inside her, which is an odd concept since she's technically dead.

Wings fanned out from the frame of the curvaceous witch before gently lifting her from the ground with each wing beat. Once high above the Underworld, Teca soared through the blood-red sky before breaking into the gloomy atmosphere of Apostle. Still as gloomy and dead as ever, forever frozen in various points of time, at least that's what she gathered going by the different life stages of the forest. Slowly Mictecacihuatl descended, adding her trademark twirl before landing gently on dainty hooves. Many would be considered fools to judge her on looks and flair, as she may seem to be a glamorous and flamboyant mare, but on the inside, she had an anger that was quick to burst if she is rubbed the wrong way. A flash of colour in the corner of Teca's eye had her head turning in its direction, spotting a russet-coloured mare with an odd stripping on her body. A pretty thing with a long flowing mane and tail streaming out behind her as she walked. Using her otherworldly new-found powers, Teca helped herself to the damsel's memories, seeing her upbringing and the lives she had ended, including her own babe. Once satisfied that this creature had the desirable traits to be considered for the Underworld as a welcomed member, Teca descended upon her. "Quite an enchanting forest, would you agree?" Teca started, sarcasm clear in her words. It was a statement that she didn't care if she got a reply for or not, it was mainly to get the mares attention who seemed to be aimlessly walking. "I am Mictecacihuatl, Lady of The Underworld. Tell me darling, do you like it here?" she then said in her usual posh drawl, light conversation to see how this creature will react but most of all, taking her time to get more of a personal sense of her.

After her coronation

[P r o m i s e]

It felt like an eternity that Zoraida had been waiting for anyone or anything to announce themselves to her. Silence was awfully deafening in this void. A sigh left her vocal chords as she made her way around the gray blandness of the landscape. Time seemed to stand still, but yet it continued to go. Nothing changed, and the scenery remained the same no matter where she tread. The only thing that seemed to change was the sound of wings in the sky. Amber voids shifting across the landscape but found nothing. Internally shrugging, she continued her little walk. Quite an enchanting forest, would you agree? The sound of another echoed in her mind.

Slowly, she turned to gaze upon the newcomer. Sarcasm could clearly be heard in the lyrics of the intricately winged creature before her. You could say that, though I'm sure it'd be more enchanting with a tad touch of color. Wouldn't you agree? She responded, the same sarcasm being reciprocated towards the mare. I am Mictecacihuatl, Lady of the Underworld. Tell me darling, do you like it here? Zoraida listened to the lyrics and chewed at the insides of her mouth as she pondered the question. 'Tis a pleasure to meet you, Mictecacihuatl. I'm Zoraida, though you may feel free to call me Zora, she responded with her own introduction, though not caring much if the other called her Zora or by her full name.

I suppose I could come to like it here, but I'm not much for the grayness of the world. I much prefer color. Though, could anyone truly like it here? She answered, letting the lyrics slip off of her tongue with ease.

Silence seemed to be a common occurrence in this land, almost becoming deafening after Teca's words left her lips. The voices in her head slowly started to moan but she quickly shut them out, now was not the time for them to have their fun. The other chestnut mare slowly turned her gaze toward the Underworlds Lady, almost seeming to mull on Teca's words. You could say that, though I'm sure it'd be more enchanting with a tad touch of color. Wouldn't you agree?, finally came the damsels words, holding the same amount of sarcasm that Teca had spoken with. Her brow twitched upward a little as a devious smile tugged at the corner of her lip. This mare seemed to hold some fire to her, it made the Lady wonder, just how much. "Indeed, I would. Colour only does so much though, this place also needs life and movement. Being the land in between, it will only ever see the colour and movement of its residents," it was a dreary thought and Teca wondered just how long one could live here for before going insane or maybe, some might actually like it. What a sad existence that would be though, suck between worlds, no powers, no reason for existing, and even if they returned to the living world, no one would see or feel them.

"Tis a pleasure to meet you, Mictecacihuatl. I'm Zoraida, though you may feel free to call me Zora," the mare named Zoraida shared pleasantries then, offering a nickname to be called by. The thought crossed her mind to offer her own nickname but that ship had sailed, for now, maybe Teca will offer it later in their conversation or at another time completely, depending if this mare comes home with her today. Shifting her weight, Teca lifted her hind leg then touched the tip of her hoof to the ground, wings stretching for a moment as the feathers ruffled before returning to her sides. Zoraida spoke then, answering Teca's earlier question, "I suppose I could come to like it here, but I'm not much for the grayness of the world. I much prefer color. Though, could anyone truly like it here?". The heathen Queen expected to hear how much the mare disliked it here, how she'd rather be somewhere else, maybe even speak her preference, but instead said she might come to like it hear. The wenches brows furrowed a little then before a look of neutrality came over her painted dished face, she doesn't believe anyone could really come to like it here, surely they would grow bored or even lonely. "I don't believe one can, I know I couldn't come to like this place. Hell makes this place look like a shit-hole," distaste was clear in her vocals as she scrunched her pink nose at their surroundings. Closing her eyes for a moment, Teca composed herself before speaking again. "I ask, simply to see if you desired to leave this awful place. I doubt Utopia would take one such as yourself, I've seen your past, however I have heard they take undesirables after they complete Utopia's silly tasks. The Underworld though..." Teca started to move then, slowly circling the mare as she gently bit her own lip as she looked Zoraida over. "We like our sinners and you, my dear, have sinned quite a lot during your short life haven't you?," Teca voiced almost purring, slowly coming to stand in front of the mare, "What lengths would you go to, to join the ranks of the Underworld? Or would you rather rot here for the rest of your existence," Mictecacihuatl fell silent then, curious to hear the answer. She wasn't going to beg this mare to join her, she couldn't care less if she stayed here till the end of time, but she also liked the idea of bringing her first soul back to the Underworld.

Indeed, I would. Colour only does so much though, this place also needs life and movement. Being the land in between, it will only ever see the colour and movement of its residents. Zora heard Teca speak in response, and she considered that thought. Sure, it was a dreary thought, and it was definitely not one she wanted to consider for long. She would never truly consider living here long term, especially if there was a better place to be. Amber eyes watched as the other mare stretched out her wings, but she remained quiet after she had spoken the words she had needed to, for the moment.

I don't believe one can, I know I couldn't come to like this place. Hell makes this place look like a shit-hole. A soft chiming giggle escaped the striped temptress as she listened to the words. I am sure Hell makes every other place look like a shit-hole, she chimed in, letting the lyrics escape. I ask, simply to see if you desired to leave this awful place. I doubt Utopia would take one such as yourself, I've seen your past, however I have heard they take undesirables after they complete Utopia's silly tasks. The Underworld though... At the mention of Utopia, Zoraida immediately scrunched up her nose. I'd rather die a thousand times over, then to go to Utopia, she murmured, before she heard Teca speak again.

We like our sinners and you, my dear, have sinned quite a lot during your short life haven't you? A mischievous smirk crossed her lips as Teca mentioned the many times she'd sinned in her short life. I definitely have sinned quite a lot in my short life, and I'd do it over again given the chance, she answered simply. She watched as Teca came to stand in front of her. What lengths would you go to, to join the ranks of the Underworld? Or would you rather rot here for the rest of your existence? The words echoed in her mind, and without thinking, she answered, I'd much rather go to the Underworld. Tell me what I need to do, and I'll do it. The words escaped with ease, and simplicity.

Black lined white elongated ears flicked at the sound of Zoraida's giggle at the mention of Hell making this place look like a shithole, followed by the words "I am sure Hell makes every other place look like a shit-hole". Teca smirked as she inclined her tiara, "The Underworld is quite a charming place, the only place to be in my eyes, the screams of the damned sure make it easy to sleep at night", she replied, her features taking on a thoughtful look. She was dead now and so sleep was not something the dead need to do, yet something Teca still did out of habit due to not being dead for too long. At the mention of Utopia, Mictecacihuatl noticed the other female scrunch her nose, a clear sign that the idea of every going to Utopia was distasteful to the sinner. "I'd rather die a thousand times over, then to go to Utopia", Zoradia then spoke, causing a soft chuck to come from Teca's vocals, "I can make that happen if you like," she added a wink to the sentence before adding on, "To torture or be tortured as just a couple of the many things you can do in the Underworld. Whatever you desire... other than the throne itself, that's mine and I'll make you wish that you'd disappear from existence if you try for it," vocals became very serious, almost threatening, a warning not to mess with her future Queen.

The conversation then focused on Zoradia's sinful living, something the mare clearly took pride in as she smirked at the mention. "I definitely have sinned quite a lot in my short life, and I'd do it over again given the chance", it was clear that she'd be useful when it comes to the mortals, to spread the Underworlds influence or make those who deny them, fear them instead. Then Teca popped the question and it seemed to take little to no thought before Zoradia answered, which wasn't a surprise going by their previous conversation, "I'd much rather go to the Underworld. Tell me what I need to do, and I'll do it." The blood and bone witch had already decided on what this mare needed to do in order to join her in the Underworld, she didn't need to question the loyalty that is sure to follow. "Zoradia, in order to join me in the Underworld, your eternal home, I require a soul. Yours would do, but know that your service will be required again in the future. I hope you don't expect a dormant afterlife." Teca chuckled, her eyes glistening as she awaited Zoradia's answer, enjoying the thought of taking someone's soul from them as a token of their everlasting service to her and the Underworld.

The Underworld is quite a charming place, the only place to be in my eyes, the screams of the damned sure make it easy to sleep at night. As the words were spoken towards her, Zoraida couldn't help but notice the thoughtful look that flashed across the features of the other mare. She just had an immediate thought cross her mind that her life would get so much more interesting once she became a resident of the Underworld. Of course, with a Queen such as Mictecacihuatl, she was definitely sure it would be even more interesting. Perhaps, a friendship could blossom from this meeting; then the world would have to deal with two hellish mistresses; instead of just one. I can make that happen if you like. She heard Teca start, before she continued with, to torture or be tortured are just a couple of the many things you can do in the Underworld. Whatever you desire... other than the throne itself, that's mine and I'll make you wish that you'd disappear from existence if you try for it.

The serious tones of the Lady of the Underworld would probably cause others to tremble on their hooves, but Zora had no reason to fear her, as of right now. She definitely wasn't interested in the crown. Though, if her and Teca became best friends, and something were to happen to Teca; Zora wouldn't hesitate to step up and attempt to claim the throne, but would make sure she was under the guidance of Teca; herself. Zoraida, in order to join me in the Underworld, your eternal home, I require a soul. Yours would do, but know that your service will be required again in the future. I hope you don't expect a dormant afterlife. The words flowed in through her ears and rattled around in her brain, but her eyes remained glued on the other mare. She noticed the chuckle, and the way her future Queen waited for her response. Chewing on her tongue, she thought for a moment, but of course she hadn't really needed to, before announcing, I pledge my soul to you, M'lady, and to the Underworld. You may have my soul to be bound to the Underworld forever. As for not expecting a dormant afterlife; I would expect nothing less. I much prefer an interesting life or afterlife. The words flowed with ease, but she quickly finished with a, so, my Queen, shall we torture the mortals together soon? A snicker left her vocal chords with ease after those words left her lips.

notes oh, I can see them being a lot to handle. xD

The threat Teca made in regards to her position seemed to either fall on deaf ears, the mare did not fear Teca, or Zoraida had no plans at making an attempt on the hellfire throne. It seemed unlikely that Zoraida ignored her, it wasn't smart to brush the lean yet curvy Lady either and Zora appeared to be too smart for that. It left the last option the more probable one but Teca helped herself to a little mind-reading as she crept into the damned mare's mind. The mares thoughts confirmed Mictecacihuatl's suspicions though added an interesting tidbit, should Teca fall from her position, Zoradia would make an attempt for the throne and seemed to want Teca's guidance. The thought angered the Underworldian Queen, unable to fathom her downfall from the throne, though the fire has quarrelled quickly. The unlikely notion was quickly cast from her thoughts as a smirk crossed her lips, her fall from the throne was not going to come, and should the day come when she no longer wished to rule, then a child of her own would take her place. A child from superior stock that showed a passion when it came to the seven sins, ruling over the damned and torturing the unworthy souls.

The thoughts of her future hellish spawn gave way to the sudden pledge that came from the chestnut damsel, a respectful woman when it came to speaking to her future Queen. "I pledge my soul to you, M'lady, and to the Underworld. You may have my soul to be bound to the Underworld forever. As for not expecting a dormant afterlife; I would expect nothing less. I much prefer an interesting life or afterlife. So, my Queen, shall we torture the mortals together soon?," followed by a snicker. A wide devious grin spread across the Queens lips, her first soul claimed from the pits of Asphodel, one that was more than willing to give Teca whatever she desired. Mictecacihuatl was quick to claim her prize, absorbing the soul for transport so it would not get lost on the way to its new home. "Come, Zoraida. First we shall go home, then after, the mortals better watch out for us," with a motion of her dainty dished head, Teca started at a floaty trot as her wings expanded from her sides. A portal to the Underworld then opened before the pair after Teca noticed horns had sprouted from the mare instead of wings, choosing this as an easier way for Zoradia to make her way to the Underworld the first time. After that, Zoraida will be able to imagine her home and teleport at will, without ending up in the wrong place.

Life was about to get way more interesting for the young mare. She almost couldn't wait to be in the Underworld and causing chaos on the mortals. She would help her new Queen out in any way possible. Whether it be the assassination of mortals, or raising an army for her the Underworlds; she would do it and attempt to make sure it got done. In an orderly fashion, of course. After she had spoken, she watched the wide devious grin that spread across her Queen's lips, and couldn't help but release a grin of her own. Her mind raced to what the Underworld would look like, and she couldn't wait to see it for herself. She was almost giddy with excitement about her new life, and was ready to get it going.

Come, Zoraida. First we shall go home, then after, the mortals better watch out for us. She heard her Queen say, and a wider grin lit up her features. She stepped towards Teca, and waited patiently. She watched as Teca moved into a floaty trot, and watched as her wings expanded from her sides. A portal spawned in front of her, and she felt a pair of ram horns sprout on her head, and smirked at the feeling. It would be a feeling she would have to get used to, but she figured it made her all that more glorious to behold. After you, M'lady, she spoke with ease. Without a second thought, she followed her new Queen through the portal and into her new life.
