Zaquar | Early Summer
Here, in the woods, it held a certain calmness, unlike the swamplands that filled even the vilest of creatures with an uneasy feeling. There was a certain charm to the woods that brought all likes of creatures here. Perhaps it was the flowing psychic magic drawing them in, or maybe it was the ability to hide away from others in peace. No matter the reason, it wasn't unusual to find residents of other regions coming here to get away.
However, that was not the reason that he came here. In fact, he much preferred the swamp; it suited his energy far better than the calmness of the mountains. Who would want to live their life in a place where nothing really happens other than boring old hags? Haywire believed that it was his duty, his calling, to liven the place up a little bit. Bring a little chaos into the lives of others. Besides, he might aggravate the prince of this land. That always made his day better.
With enthusiasm, Haywire trotted through the forest, attempting to find something or someone he could mess with. His fleshy head kept an eye on the path ahead to be sure that he did not end up in an uncomfortable situation with a tree or ditch while his skull head kept on the lookout for something that he might be able to use...or misuse. Both of his tails swayed side to side in rhythm with his footsteps. From an outsider's perspective, he seemed to have an air of carelessness, just going with the flow. It would be hard or even impossible for them to notice the very calculated steps he took, the way he sniffed the air for hints of what his landscape looked like, how once he found a certain target, a tiny smile would curl upon his lips.
While he could not quite see the quirlicorn whose day he was about to make far more interesting, he could sense them from where he was. He paused for a moment as he thought about his plan.
This section of the woods he was in was quite dense, save for the small clearing that he happened to stop at. Perhaps he could give this quirlicorn a scare? Announce his presence with a bang? Yes, that would make things interesting.
Haywire conjured up some fire along his necks which promptly ignited the firework powder that coated his hair. This certain section of powder given the right heat lets off a loud bang accompanied by a brilliant firework display. However, this time a tiny pop with a beam of light that just barely went over the treetops happened.
"Dud?" his skull head wondered aloud.
The flesh head opened his mouth in reply to that thought but was promptly cut off with a loud bang and surge of color above him. It was a bright yellow quickly followed by a red that trickled down into different ribbons.
"It seems like I made my presence known, time to introduce myself," Haywire said aloud, his skull head clacking his teeth together in agreement.
