[ღBlackHeart;ღ[bbs]]

A thick fog swirled around the scarred remains of what once was in the dusty morning. The silence seemed to cackle at the large dark shape that trod carefully through the crumbled stones, long silky tail flicking delicately, but with the unmissable sense of authority about her. For this was BlackHeart. Lead mare of the Unicorn's glade. BlackHeart would rather die than have a Stallion rule her forest, needless to say, she thought, no, she knew that a herd only had a real leader, if the leader was a mare.

[Back on track] Occasionally as the mare made her way through the tragic mess of rubble, she felt sure that she head something, a sort of whisper, but when she twisted her proud head back to see, there was nothing there. Even her fine muzzle and acute nostrils could pick up any sign of anybody/thing but herself.

The small dump of rubble outside the building was mere work of the builders nextdoor. The large theatre still stood, although the main stage was slightly burnt, and very very dusty. The Phantom wasn't exactley having the best day today, he'd had a severe case of vandalism he'd soon sorted out, the teenagers body left to rot somewhere behind the theatre.

Phantom's red cloak swirled round his legs as he headed for the main staircase, behind the mask, his frown was invisible on his handsome features. His leather boots made no noise, even against the marble on the staircases. The only noise was the faint sound of his fingers clicking as he caused every candle and chandelier in the whole theatre to light. Mumbling something beneath his breath as he headed up another flight of stairs, red cloak streaming out behind him as he was engulfed into darkness once more, underneath the old stage.

[ღBlackHeart;ღ[bbs]]

BlackHeart twisted round in surprise as she heard a series of short sharp clicks somewhere behind her, velvet ears flicked backwards as she turned carefully on the spot, trying not to make a sound. BlackHeart was surprised to see an almost fully erect building, half hidden by thick foliage, fog still swirling around the base. She thought there were only ruins here now.

The mare let out a shrill whinny, [Show yourself!] which rang out over the land, sending birds in the immediate vicinity to abandon their trees and scatter into the cloudy sky. BlackHeart hoped that whoever it was, they were not hostile, for she was only exploring.

[ThePhantomOfTheOpera]

He heard the whinny, his frown dipping further as he wondered who it could possibly be. Here, at the Grandiose ThéâtreGrand Theatre. He turned on his heel, striding away from the base of the stage, up, up, up, keeping to stairways as he found himself ontop of the Grandiose ThéâtreGrand Theatre, eyes scanning the floor below as his sensitive eyes picked up on the form of a mare, a sly grin piercing his features as he stood on the edge of the building. Spookily outlined against the moon.

His cape blew furiously in the breeze, but it became no nuicense as he jumped from the high building, landing a floor down, by the side of beautiful marble ladies in the walls. He dropped level to level, finally reaching the ground. No sound of him actually hitting the floor, or even moving as of yet. His eyes peered through the dark, easily finding the form of the unicorn once more, another grin spreading across his features as he stayed in the easy cover of the shadows. His hand reaching out, palm facing the unicorn, as he connected with her mind.

*And what brings you here?*
He hissed in his mind, instantly sending it to the female's mind.

[ღBlackHeart;ღ[bbs]]

The mare saw a shape, silhouetted against the moon, fall many stories from the majestic building, it didn't bother her. It formed the shape of a human, and human's were powerless against the leader of the Unicorns. No mere human could harm BlackHeart. Snorting a little she turned to the right, alarmed that the figure seemed to of dissappeared. Until she saw a palm outstretched towards her, eerily outlined in silver from the soft rays of the moon. A series of words entered her mind and BlackHeart was startled. It never crossed her delicate features, just her mind. I come from the Unicorn Glade, my name is BlackHeart, you may of heard of me. I only come out of curiousity.

[ThePhantomOfTheOpera]

His thickly outlined eyes narrowed, his grin fading slightly.
*Well, welcome to the Grandiose Théâtre*Grand Theatre
His fingers slowly moving to the centre of his hand, painfully breaking the signal between them both. His mind feeling no pain, but oh, it would hurt on the other end.

The Phantom's teeth flashed as he grinned, giving a small hop, floating in mid air as he made his way toward the entrance, cape flapping in the breeze that wasn't there. He dropped down at the first step, easily bounding up the marble steps. He clicked his fingers, the large doors flying open at the top of the steps, his hand outstretching toward the mare once more. Rejoining their minds.
*Please, come in.*
He whispered, that slight tinge of hate and disregret stuck in his mind after all those years.

[ღBlackHeart;ღ[bbs]]

BlackHeart felt a searing pain from the depth of her mind, and lowered her head, eyes clamped shut as sears went through her brain. It felt just like someone had sent an electric current through her head, it was agony. The shocks finally stopped and BlackHeart raised her head and opened gems that flashed fire.

The Phantom floated up the marble steps, beckoning BlackHeart in after him. The mare struggled against the instinct that screamed for her to run, back to where it was safe, back to the Unicorn's glade but her mind was numb now, and cusiousity forced her forwards. BlackHeart kept walking towards to outstretched palm. And he spoke again, a menacing tone the again made BlackHeart's instincts curse her for being so stupid.
