It's not the long walk home that will change this heart,
But the welcome I receive at the restart.



It was bound to be a strange day. The sun had set in quick succession, and the stars moved equally as fast to illuminate the city's dark streets in misty shadows. Dareios couldn't put his finger on it, but something was different about this particular evening. Something was off. Still he carried on in an easy lope, bored with his lazy strides and oddly enough, too distracted by his surroundings to enjoy the simple gesture of what "jogging" actually meant to him. His dark marbled eyes focused keenly on the details of every stoop of the brownstones he passed. He counted the chip marks, where black lacquer had given way to the steely gray metal poles underneath, in the needle-tipped fence posts of the passing yards. His vision followed the cracks in between the concrete sidewalk paths, and snaked after their broken forms that lead into the gutters and under the lamp posts.

The vampire was too enthralled with the detail of meaningless nothings, to realize the thunderous strides of something that clearly was something stammering his way. The illusion of sweat he'd created before leaving home had quickly dried, whatever damp spots on his clothing had cleared. That usually meant he was nearing the end of his run, and would soon circle back toward home. He spied his homecoming corner up ahead, but a block before he reached it something happened.

His body was scooped up with sudden, blunt force, the dull daggers of the animal's feet causing his body to crumple as its force sent him soaring through the air. He reacted quickly, of course, given his supernatural instincts, and landed rather unscathed on his feet some distance away. His dark eyes focused on the white form of the horse, realizing that even in the world he lived in, this was strange. The creature's scent gave him away though, and Dareios knew the equine didn't escape from the dilapidated farm that ran the sorry tourist trap carriage rides on the other side of town. This fellow, whoever he be, was supernatural, like him.

"You alright there?" He asked finally, only now realizing that in the scuffle, Dareios had revealed his true form. He forced his incisors to snap back into hiding behind his lips. Dareios waited a second before taking a step forward, noticing the rope pulled tight around the creature's neck. He was still a good distance away from the horse, which was standing in the middle of a quiet urban neighborhood intersection. "It's usually quiet here. I don't think you'll find much trouble on this side of town."

That said, the last thing Dareios needed today was to be involved in some kind of thing. He had too much work to do. Perhaps he should move on.
