Hinder vs. Crevace; Battle for the Key

A lean, ebon body strides smoothly into the Battle Grounds. He is sleek and jet black except for a hint of silver around his barrel and other parts of his body that suggest he is more grulla than black. As of right now; the touch of fall has not yet caused his body to fluff his coat and get ready for winter’s bite, also turning his coat a solid shade of ebon.

He is wide in his pectorals and hindquarters, with obvious muscle definition, but he is not bulky. He stands at precisely sixteen hands, with a black mane that stands straight up, or droops during rainy days. He has a long silky black tail that doesn’t entirely go well the looks of his ratted mane, but he does not complain. An alabaster patch circles about his right eye, which is blue. His other is a chocolate brown.

All horses have scars, but Hinder shows his little scuffles a little more than most. His right side was damaged pretty well by these largely noticeable marks: his (right, obviously) ear is torn and jagged, however over the years the pink skin finally gave way to allowing black to grow over the tears once they have healed.

Three large, jagged scars made from a large beast start at his mid-girth and travel to being just short of his flank. Unlike his ears, the hair has not grown over them, and since he received those before the ear incident, he doubt those shiny pale marks will ever be hidden by the grace of his grulla hide.

Despite all the misgivings he has had, Hinder is a reasonable and respectable fellow… Well, as far as stallions are concerned anyway. He is a horse that allows no others to get a rise out of him, even if they resort to cruelty and beatings.

Now, here today, he was about to receive and dole out a beating of his own, of his accord (for once). He had the chance to fight back, and he would. Esroh told him a few suns ago that he had to earn the right to the land he was about to fight for. He wanted to win badly to prove himself to the gigantic stallion. And to Viral, a potential ally if things went right.

If he won, he would either have to give up the Key to one of Viral’s kin, or be given the honor to keep. Although he secretly hoped for the latter, Hinder thought it would be a win-win situation…. Get it?

Now, the stallion done with his ponderings and wanderings, he waited for his match to show. Excitement crawled beneath his pelt, and he had to suppress the urge to let adrenaline to kick in. he had time yet before the other came. Hinder wanted his energy for the battle, not for the waiting around for it.

The Shire swaggered into the battle grounds, knowing that his size of 17.2 gave him an advantage. He had a coal black coat, dark as night, with the only thing darker than his pelt being his heart and soul. Spotting his opponent, he trotted up to him and stopped a few feet away. Opening his maw, he spoke. Since you have already spoken of your conditions, it is my turn. Once I win, you will stay out of The Southern Mainland forever, I will get your firstborn son and raise him as my own, unknown to him that you are his father. Also, I get all the mares you have in your possession, and if you have none, I will get the first five you claim. No one you know, will know, or have known will be able to enter New Key, and I get the pick of your daughters. With that, he started his first attack.

Attack 1

Rearing, Crevace lunged at the arrogant brute and aimed for the left ear. Feeling himself connect with flesh, he yanked his head around and around, hoping to do the most amount of damage possible. When he felt he was done, he scraped his teeth along whatever he had connected with until he finally let go. Backing up, the large shire tensed for the other’s attack.

Ebon stallion watched with disinterest as the stallion tried to look menacing. Size was not everything, and this horse was fixing to have a sore awakening. His walk looked weird; as if he were trying to strut but didn't have the coordination. Hinder narrowed his angry mismatched eyes.

Not long ago, Viral had rejected his askance for an alliance for his vocabulary. Esroh simply turned his nose the other direction, dismissing him. He thought the little stallion didn't have a clue. Well, they were about to get a rude awakening. He would prove himself in this battle, and personally, he saw nothing wrong with his choice of words. They were simply him, why did everything have to be so complicated and formal?

Hinder was hurt and angry at the full rejection, and was ready to take it out. Normally he wasn't bothered by these things, but these horses had pushed him away for being himself. He didn't try to hide anything like so many these days. He shook his head, anger mounting. He would change his ways and become fake. He would show the world what he was capable of.

Just then, he was attacked.

Defense One

Hinder dodged out of the way of the flailing hooves, but unfortunately, teeth embedded into his poll and scraped painfully along the top of his skull to catch his left ear. His ear that was now in the teeth of his opponent was whole unlike his left, and he could feel hot, searing pain as it tore for first time, marring his left side.

Anger and adrenaline coursed through his veins as hot blood poured down the side of his face, and he knew by the heat pulsating from his ear that a small chunk had been bitten out of it. He tried to follow the movements of the stallion instead of trying to to jerk away- he could further damage himself.

Attack One
The sixteen hand hybrid felt the shire start to back away, but he would have none of it. Instead of reeling away, he surged forward, driving into the stallion. His neck was arched to protect his air passage, though, unless he decided to move back, it would be impossible for the opponent to get his head in between their bodies. Also, moving backwards would only unbalance the horse, and it took much energy to do.

So, Hinder whipped his skull sideways and rammed the underbelly of the stallion, knowing full well it would be unpleasant and possibly knock the air out of him. He also keep pushing forward, shoving the stallion’s whole side in the process. There was a possibility of Hinder unbalancing and causing the other to fall, or disrupting his innards.

He then immediately moves away from the hindquarters and the powerful legs that could hurt him. At this point, smaller stallion is standing facing the side of Crevace. His muscles are tensed so he could move quickly either direction for his next defense. His ears are flattened, and he is not happy with the world at the moment. For some horses, it could be dangerous for anger to be present. Others, it may only lead to foolish and/or rash decisions.

In his case, he was pushing for the latter.

He would show the world.
