The Portal

Well, fuck.
Orphaned before her first birthday.
She and Vynter had torn mother apart when they were born. Unintentionally, of course, but it still happened. What they hadn’t realized is that they had also lost their father the same day. His body still lived, still breathed, but he was little more than an empty shell. An empty vessel, his soul floating away with mother’s. It was almost cathartic to see his empty shell obliterated by Kaos. The only world she knew snuffed out shortly afterward by the seemingly corrupted beast. Amber eyes had only been glued to her father until he was gone then they simply lingered on the place where he had been. Overwhelmed by a number of emotions (anger and sorrow but also a surprising amount of relief) and the smallest hint of a desire for revenge – heat consumes her, shifting her body from flesh and bone to flickering flame.
She doesn’t hesitate to charge the strange gateway, a flaming Pegasus hurtling like a meteor – with reckless abandon – into the unknown. She doesn’t see Vynter before her (even if she had bothered to look) but knowing him as only a twin can, she didn’t need to see him. He’d go through just as quickly as she has – perhaps with just a bit less flair. Flair just isn’t his style. He’s subtle but just as one-of-a-kind as they come. “Don’t have to ask me twice.” she mutters indignantly as she passes Kaos, resisting the urge to throw her flaming ass in his direction.
Yet as Fenyx plummets into the darkness of the portal, she sees nothing and hears nothing. There is only the sensation of falling and it feels agonizingly long. It feels as though she is merely plummeting to her death but in reality, she falls to the ground in a bizarre looking forest in mere seconds (maybe minutes at the worst). Groaning softly, the fireball filly unfolds herself and stands. For several moments more her flames still burn but as her gaze lands on the familiar form of her twin not far off, she calms. Fire flickers into smoke as her body shifts back, starting at her nose and moving backward. There is little more than a small flame flickering from the tip of her tail and a cloud of smoke in her wake by the time she reaches his side. She is silent as she reaches forth to bump his shoulder with her nose.
Yet they aren’t alone. She hadn’t noticed the other figure at first but her impulsive, brash nature does very little to regulate her response to his sudden appearance (though, truthfully, it was the twins’ presence that was an abrupt intrusion.) “Kaos’ flaming ass! Who are you?!” There is a familiar steady heat behind her amber eyes but for now she remains in control. Fenyx merely stares, near unblinking, at the stranger. There is no fear, just a steady distrust. Had she lost Vynter, her own life might have been forfeit but with him still alive, she had every reason to preserve her own life. She just isn’t very good at it, it seems.
