even a casanova could starve.
this was a lesson the brash young man had learned on his way up from the rising sun. after cavorting with the pretty women, he had headed toward the sea.
at least one of the females there had been entering her season at the hunt, and his one track mind kept the delightful mingling of femininity and salt in the back of his mind.
hunger bit into his belly with more sharpness as he passed the mountains.
it was the calling which stopped apollyon, vaguely frantic. confused. it had happened once. then again. now he assumed the distraction of the willow pack and when the desperate demon could wait no longer, he darted forward, intending to head over the border and steal whatever he could find from the first cache discovered.
a giant man waited for him, and his teeth laid apollyon's face open before he had even touched the boundary line. crying out, blinded by blood, the demon beat a hasty retreat, tearing the large wolf's shoulder in his flight.
and it was not enough; he was pursued, slashed again, thrown into the snow even as the mountains faded behind he and the man whose rage burned apollyon into the shape of a scapegoat.
hunger paled, desperation falling into true terror. and when shale skidded from beneath his paws and clipped in horrid clacking down the side of the sea bluffs, he turned.
there they grappled, apollyon fighting for his very life. and perhaps it was the only thing which changed the clash in his favor, that or pure luck.
the towering man's throat was slashed, gripped; apollyon dragged him to the edge of the billowing green field through sheer adrenaline. the man broke away despite the gouts of blood, and bludgeoned him with crushing force, cracking several ribs. the demon fought for anguished breaths.
hindlegs kicked, connecting squarely with the middle of the willowman's chest, and backwards the powerful hunter fell, into open space as if he had never been there.
apollyon collapsed to the bluffs, a similar blackness overtaking him.
