WELL SWEET MOTHER TERESA ON THE HOOD OF A MERCEDES BENZ
Orion.
cos in the end, it doesn't even matter


Sufficient time had passed to allow his wounds to heal. A long scar ran up the inside of one of his hind legs where Viral’s colt had struck him, as well as several smaller blemishes around his eyes where teeth had furiously snapped at the irises in vain. However, his ear would never be the same again. The wound had closed, leaving an ugly sheet of skin on the underside, where no hair grew yet. The whole ear looked slightly lopsided in comparison to the other one, and although he could now move it without experiencing pain, it never rotated fully forwards or full backwards as it should do; giving the stallion a clumsy, almost eerie look to him.

The tang of metal and blood was now familiar to him as it dilated his nostrils as he strode into the battle grounds, it’s barren lands no longer daunting. He struck out at a trot, head swung low like a wolf and snaking ever so slightly, ears pinned back (or as far as one could go) against his unruly ebony mane. If anything he had bulked out since his last duel and was now a fully mature stallion, not a lanky colt eager to get his first blood. Once he was satisfied nothing was going to spring out on him Orion settled into a rangy walk, his dark eyes switching from side to side across the empty grounds.

He wasn’t expecting Viral. Viral would not waste his time. Nor did he expect the current occupant of the land he was after as like the chestnut’s many children, he was in no condition to fight. Rumour had it that Thane was back, although Orion didn’t believe them. He had not seen sight or smell of the grey, nor wanted to. Thane back would throw a spanner in the works for everyone, and the old pale stallion was not up to the standards of the younger stock. It was time for him to step aside.

No, what Orion was expecting was another spawn of the hated chestnut to smugly appear for his father or brother’s place. He knew he was laughing stock in some eyes, but even if he lost again, this would be another chip breaking into that wall they had all spent so long building up through the generations. At some point one of them had to lose, to slip up and he would take that opportunity in his teeth. Plus what he was after, the Faults, would be invaluable. It was close to his own territory and he would like to have Ares under his watch, not just for allies but also to squeeze any rebellion out of him. The colt was too laid back to do anything of the sort, but it would still keep him in check.

In short Orion was here for two things - to try and win the Faults back for a second time, and also to rebuild his pride.

He halted, head arched, his eyes blazed but there was a deadly calm that radiated from him that seemed even more frightening than if he had raged and stormed about the place waiting for his competitor. He paused, then lifted his head and burst forth in a stallion’s scream and spoke. “I challenge the stallion that calls the Faults home to fight for it.” He fell silent, his jaw clenched and waited for anything to move on the horizon. And he was prepared to wait for a very long time.

`depp and Thane own the Faults now. Viral / Caius / etc. aren't going to fight for what isn't theirs. You can change the challenge if you want, otherwise you get the default win.
Orion wins by default.
