Eron walked into the battle grounds, his nose very sore from his last battle. Darn Arcane had torn his nose to pieces. He hoped that this stallion was a little less good at fighting. This was only his second battle, and he hoped he would win.

Walking to a sandy and dusty clearing where there was a small ledge that would hopefully be to his advantage. Positioning himself so that he was ready to use the ledge to his advantage, Eron awaited the other brute to came and attack.

ooc;; MUAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!!!!!

OOC;It's a battle with my stallion shamrock, and I'm sorry I didn't respond sooner but when PS challenged me she knew that I was pretty badly sick and wasn't thinking straight, therefore the reason for my lack of reply.
Shamrock had been settled in his home for some time, even though he hadn’t collected any mares yet. He had been quite content until he heard another stallion thunder in and challenge him for the territory. He had taken his time getting to the battle grounds, making sure he got there in time but not being in any rush. Now that he was here, he started focusing on the battle ahead.

As he entered the battle grounds, he scented the air for a clue as to where the invader had gone. He followed the trail to a desert-y part of the battlefield and soon spotted the buckskin stallion. The oddly-colored stallion came to a halt a good distance away. The challenger had said something about conditions, so Shamrock called out to him, “For conditions, I have none except that I keep my home and you will never enter it again.” He waited for the other to state his conditions.

Eron was just about to leave, when a stallion came walking up and stopped a good distance away. He called out to him and said that his only conditions were that he was to keep his home and Eron would never return. Bearing in mind Arcane’s conditions, he got a plan. Nodding to the stallion, he spoke his conditions. I have but these conditions. I will get your land, and you and any who know you will never be able to challenge me for it. When you find an heir, I will be taking him, and he will be mine. I will also get your first daughter and one mare of yours of my choice. Smiling, he added, that is, once you get some mares. Thinking over a first attack, his eyes wandering to the ledge.

Attack 1

Rushing toward the ledge, which happened to run all the way to the other stallion, Eron jumped up onto it and ran along it until he was parallel to the other. Stopping alongside the stallion, He backed up and took a running start, jumping with all his might when he got to the end of the ledge. Lowering his hooves some when he got over the stallion, hoping to have his back hooves hit his neck or back, he felt his hooves connect with something. Something hard. Stumbling a little when he landed, He recovered quickly and turned around, tense and ready for the other’s attack.

Shamrock’s challenger stated his terms and then scanned the surrounding terrain, obviously looking for something that would be to his advantage. He then took off at a run towards the ledge and, after climbing up it, launched himself stupidly off the top.
Defense
Shamrock, after recovering from his shock that the other could be so stupid, took a step off to the side. He managed to avoid the brunt of the attack, but Eron’s back hooves managed to graze his ribcage. Sham skittered off to the side, watching the other to make sure his attack was over.
Damage
After he was sure it was, he assessed his damage. There was a medium-sized gash on his barrel, and when Eron’s hoof had grazed him he thought he had heard a crack. He moved a few paces to the front and felt a sharp pain in his side. One of his ribs was definitely cracked, possibly broken, but there was no lasting damage and he could still fight.
Attack #1
Sham locked his eyes on the buckskin brute, sizing him up. He started forward towards him at a trot, eventually increasing to an awkward canter. He didn’t feel like stressing his wound too much and there was no need to go very fast anyways. Sham approached the other stallion on his right, lowering his head as if he was going for his leg. Then, when he was a few feet away, he reared up and grabbed for the top of his crest, trying to dig his hooves into his neck. He thought he had a good grip, and he shook his head viciously, trying to cause as much damage as possible. After he had thought it was enough, he released and back up a good distance, waiting for the other to make his move.

Defense 1

Watching the other brute carefully, Eron waited until the other was right upon him before side-stepping the least bit away from him, and turning his head away, managing to have the other get the least amount of skin possible. Tensing his whole body, Eron dug his hooves into the ground, hoping to be tossed around the least bit possible by the other savagely shaking his head. Shutting his eyes to get adrenaline going and close out the pain, he held out until the other was done and had let go.

Damage

Looking back at his neck, Eron saw blood seeping from some pretty deep cuts. The stallion had got him pretty good, and the cuts were about a half inch deep. The other’s hooves had caused some bruising and deep nicks, and Eron’s neck would be pretty sore for awhile afterwards.

Attack 2

Cantering toward the other, he waited until the last fifty feet before breaking into a gallop and launching himself at the stallion and aiming his jaws at right behind his cheekbone. Clamping down hard, he hoped he had hit his mark. Shaking and pulling viciously, he hoped to get at least a little close to the jugular, but not near close enough to do any fatal damage. Rearing a little, he tried putting a huge strain on the others neck. Knowing he would at least draw a lot of blood, Eron went back to all fours, and mustered up all his strength, and gave a mighty tug, then let go and backed up, knowing after the stallion’s next attack it would be all over.

Defense
Shamrock watched warily as the other stallion cantered, then galloped towards him. He braced himself as Eron launched himself at his neck, and knowing what was next Sham stayed as still as possible. As expected, Eron latched himself fiercely onto his throat, close to his vital vein but not dangerously so. Sham stayed as still as possible while the other was shaking him around like a rag doll, and as he reared Shamrock rose with him to avoid as much damage as he could. It was unexpected when Eron gave a strong wrench as he let go, so Sham couldn’t do anything about that. As the buckskin backed away, the Lipizzaner tried to assess his damage.
Damage
He could feel warm blood seeping from the tears in the tender skin around his cheekbones. As he moved his head he could feel that there were some pretty severe gashes where the other’s teeth had latched onto him and when he had viciously removed them. A spot of white on the ground caught his attention and he grimaced as he recognized it as a piece of his own skin, torn away from his neck.
Attack #2
This battle had started to take its toll on Shamrock. He was feeling lightheaded from loss of blood and his gait was beginning to get unsteady. ‘One more attack,’ he thought to himself, ‘then I can rest.’ Gathering up the remnants of his strength, he charged towards Eron, almost stumbling on the way. This attack would have to be timed perfectly. He looped around so that he was racing perpendicular towards him, lowering his head as he approached. Sham actually ran literally under the right side of Eron’s neck, grabbing at his left fore. Trying to get a good grip, he felt his teeth sink into flesh. His speed and momentum were enough to possibly dislocate or at least put great strain on his opponent’s leg. At least, that was his hope. As he grabbed onto the other’s leg, his speed caused him to swing around and stop suddenly. This, he hoped, caused a significant amount of damage. But the effort had not left the attacker unharmed. This had put an even greater amount of strain on his weakened body, and as he released and backed away he stumbled a few times. Stopping a few yards away, he braced his legs in an attempt to keep himself from falling and waited for the judgment to come.

Bp posted in the vacation saying that we were away longer than we had expected. She posted it there before she posted here. Does that still count?

Defense 2

Watching as the other came at him, Eron stood, dumbfound, as his opponent charged and went underneath him and grabbed at his left fore. Luckily for Eron, he recovered from his shock just in time to leap away a little, having the other bite on the very top of his leg, away from his socket. Moving and swinging around with the heavy stallion, he couldn’t help but hear a pop as his leg was dislocated. Pain shot through his body and adrenaline was the only thing that kept him going. Snapping his jaws about an inch from the other’s maw, he hoped to make him let go. When the other didn’t, he thought, ‘what the heck’ and stood still, hoping that the most of the pain and damage was over.

Damage

Staring at the stallion as he let go and stumbled backwards, he started to asses himself. The top part of his leg where the brute had grabbed him was torn and bleeding with mild gashes in it. He tried to move the leg he thought to be dislocated, and found he couldn’t, confirming his thoughts on it. He would have to find out how to knock it back into place. Eron watched as blood dripped from his leg, and made stains on the once–clean sand. Knowing he wouldn’t be able to move that leg for awhile, he awaited the final results. It was all over.
