Something was wrong with some of the horses. A few birds had perched upon their heads and moved about without any concern. Indeed some of them weren't moving at all. Completely still almost like statues. Indeed the most perceptive of the bunch of you does note that a number of the horses are intact statues. Some perfectly, immaculately carved out, nearly lifelike with them reared up in surprise. Some had toppled over frozen completely and were... being consumed by the other horses. Not even being consumed more like rubbed against and bits of their stone bodies were being broken off and dissolved. Indeed, one of the birds that had perched upon it was sinking into one of the moving "horses" before it was ejected the bird flying away rather quickly. Apparently these things cannot consume flesh but inorganic materials like stone are in their diet. As the girls conversed with one another, one of the horses looks up, their neck turning completely around to do such like an owl's head would right at the group.<br/><br/>Whatever they were, they weren't friendly looking in their approach. Even if they couldn't consume flesh these things still harbor no good will towards you and that much was certain. Especially after one heard them "speak". The girls felt some kind of otherworldly presence touch their minds, a tone neutral voice in their heads. Some kind of magic allowed these things to speak in broken language switching from voice to voice.<strong><em>"Hosts... new vessels... young."</em></strong>Indeed other "horses" were approaching but falling apart, losing shape when they moved, as if completely boneless. But they were much more faster than they looked despite the lack of a proper skeleton or structure to their bodies.<br/><br/>(OOC: Neither group is surprised, Roll for Initiative)
