Diego cantered swiftly to the battle grounds, he listened to the sounds around him keeping all his senses on high alert, blue eyes scanning the surround area for signs of the Clydesdale. Slowly he began to mull over his terms and conditions that he would present to to his opponent. He was in no mood to fight which was lucky for the other stallion. |

Spirit enters the Battle Grounds, a place he had hoped to never visit. He flipped his ears back at the sound of neighing, hoofs crashing, and sobbing. The scent of tears and blood mingled in the air made it even worse. He gulped, and searched around for his opponent. He had only claimed the land this morning, and already one was trying to cahllenge him? No, he wanted to keep this land for himself and build a herd, find a mate. Not have some other proud horse coming in and taking it from him. Spirit is a Clydesdale, weighing 2,000 pounds, and even though he didn't like fighting, if it meant that he could keep his land, he would. His eyes scanned the stallions facing each other in combat, and searched for the Quarter-Friesian Horse mix that challenged him. He soon spotted him, and snorted, flaring his nostrils. He walked up to him at a slow pace and looked at him in the eye. He inhaled, then began to speak. "Before we enter... combat, why let us not negotiate about this, and learn about each other. What is your name?" Spirit hoped that the stallion wouldn't start a suprise attack, but negotiate instead. Spirit waited anxiously for the reply of this stallion.

Diego sensed the large stallion before he saw him and was mildly happy about the large stallion wanting to negotiate instead of fight. "I am Diego of Black Caverns in the Southern Mainland. What is yours?" Diego asked bluntly trying to keep up the illusion of normal and friendly negotiation but it was just not in his nature. "I have no bone to pick with you but I need to be in the Northern Mainland with the rest of my allies. Now I would be willing to trade you my land for the one that you have just arrived in." He said cautiously, trying not to slip back into his demeaning nature. "I will give you black caverns in the southern mainland which I assure you is quiet hospitable." He gazed at the larger stallion with midnight blue eyes as he waited the reply. |

Spirit bowed his head formally after he said his name. "My name is Spirit, and as you can tell, I live in the Grindstone that lies in the Northern Mainland." Spirit raised an eyebrow and snorted. "Whereas with the land... I understand your wanting of it, though as you stated correctly, I just arrived in it. I would rather not give it up so soon, and hopefully not ever." Spirit hoped that Diego would not get angered at him for saying that he would rather not give it up. "Now, perhaps you could try for a different land?" Spirit waited for Diego's reply. |

Diego could not help but be frusterated with Spirit. He could see no reason that the stallion was particularly attached to the land of which he had just arrived in. He could not help but smirk at the opposing stallion before answering his question. "I have tried fool." He stopped abruptly and regained his composer before continuing this time his words more guarded so as not to offend the other stallion further. "This is the only land in which I can take, for the rest of the lands have been decided off limits, unless I wanted to be punished by a force I do not intend to mess with." Diego's blue eyes danced with a light that only spoke of such need and impatience for the draft to come to his senses. Of course Diego understood why he would not want to give it up but if he offered him a land for a land and then something he did not have something that all stallions wished for. Mares and sons. A small smile appeared on Diego's face. "I'll tell you what, If you accept my proposal of trading Black Caverns for Grindstone, I will also give you a mare who I have in my possession and a colt of whom was abandoned and needs a home for I already have too many boys to take care of with out him." Diego's expression went blank as he awaited the answer to his proposition. |

Spirit fidgeted and now realized that Diego wasn't as warm as he seemed earlier. It appeared difficult for him to remain kind, especially after calling Spirit a fool. Spirit snorted and stomped his heavy hoof on the ground. "And why do you have to live with these 'allies' you spoke of? Why can you not remain in the Black Caverns?" A small bit of anger was inside Spirit. Especially with some stallion waltzing up to him and demanding his land that he had only recently taken! But Spirit wouldn't show much that he was mad. "Yes, I have to admit Diego, I am tempted by your offer. But you have not told me anything about this mare. What breed she is, what she looks like, why her colt was abandoned? I can't just accept a mare without knowing anything about her, and I'm not even saying I will. I just want to keep my land." Spirit said, his nostrils flared in that little bit of anger. He waited for Diego's reply. |

Diego's expression remained distant in cold in an effort that was internal not to snarl at this stupid stallion. "Does it really matter what she looks like or what breed she is?" He asked with a icy edge to his voice. "Are you truly that vain? She is healthy and has no defects." Diego questioned him and realized that the stallion was angry. "As for the colt his mother died and was taken in by his granddam who happened to be one of my mares and mother of my first born son. Unfortunately the mare died leaving the colt with out a family. As I said before I already have 3 colts that I have to worry about training, with out granite." Diego tried to keep the condescending edge out of his voice but something about this stallion rubbed him the wrong way. "If you are determined to keep your land rather than a land and a mare and a colt then lets delay no longer, for I the reason I need the land is because I am no longer safe in my other home. Take it or leave it." |

Spirit snorted heavily, his eyes narrowing in the anger that was growing larger. "You may think that I am a vain horse, but I cannot just take a mare as my mate without knowing anything about her. Her attitude? It could've been cold, it could have been sweet and caring." He said, trying not to sound threatening. "Now you just said it. You said that your land is no longer safe for you. Then how can it be safe for me? And you failed to answer my question - why do you need to live with your other allies?" |

Diego was astounded by the other stallions lack of knowledge. Diego could not believe the other stallion, he just kept on demanding more information that was not his right to have, but if it got him the land he needed it would be worth it. "Lets think about this..." he said condescendingly. "The only reason it is no longer safe for me is because of who I am associated with, because of who I have allied myself with. That is the only reason, you being new to these parts should not be disturbed in my old home. As to why I need to live near my allies is my business alone but wouldnt you want to live near people who have your back?" Diego said icily. |

Spirit growled at Diego's cold, rude attitude. "I have none to fall back on. I departed from my herd just recently to start a new herd of my own, me being the leader." he said. "Now, the only reason I asked why you needed to move near your 'allies', is because I didn't want tot hand my land over to you if you wanted the land for pure pleasure, or if you're lying. I want to keep my land, thank you." Spirit sighed and shook his head. "I'm sorry." |

"Then we battle" Diego said icily. He cantered to one end of the small clearing and called his conditions. "These are my conditions. If you happen to be so lucky as to win, All mares that are currently in my possession will be released from my claim except for Kohani and Louron, They will stay under my claim and come with me as will Calex and Theron my sons. If I win I get your land and your first born son when ever he may be born. pausing for a second he spoke again. "It is not to late you can still accept my offer, we dont have to fight. Just so you know I am neither lying about my need for this land and I am not just taking it for pleasure, this is because I need to be within a certain distance for my allies to help me if things where to get ugly. You have the better end of the deal." Diego stepped back and waited for the opposing stallion to speak his terms and start the battle. |

Spirit felt like he had been hit by a physicall blow. He slowly shook his head. "What type of conditions are that?!" he spat, stepping back a few paces. "Not ever in my lifetime would I give my firstborn son to you, Diego!" he exclaimed, the anger that was inside of him now gaining control. "You can keep your filthy hoofs to yourself, and when I have my firstborn, never will you take him! Do you understand?!" Spirit indeed was planning to have a child, but if it meant that this stallion would take him or her away from him, he wouldn't. Again, Spirit stepped several paces back. "I can't accept the battle. Not with conditions like those." He said, this time his voice quiet. He opened his mouth to say something more, though he couldn't. He waited for Diego's turn to reply. |

"You have no choice those are my terms unless you will accept my trade..." Diego did not smile or smirk he looked at the stallion with unfeeling eyes. "You will be able to keep your first born son, get a free land and receive a mare and a colt from me. It is not so bad." Diego was still willing to give him those things. "We avoid a fight and you come back with more than you had in your old land." |

Spirit flattened out his ears and swallowed hard, not able to look into Diego's eyes. "Diego," Spirit began in a soft voice, "I... I only want to keep my land, and have no one here trying to take it from me. And besides, I'd rather live here than in a dark, damp cave for the rest of my life. But, if fighting is the only way to go, and if those are the conditions..." Spirit paused and shook his head, his black mane flying and his heavy, strong neck swaying. "...Then I simply could not fight. Yes, I know, if I had taken up the offer of fighting, then I may win, given my muscular physique, but I am a humble horse. I wouldn't take pleasure in seeing you suffer just because of some silly fight that I may win." Spirit once again paused, almost dreading the next thing he was going to say. "But I have made my descision. I will hand over Grindstone over to you. But, I do not wish to own Black Cavern. I will instead be searching for another herd to form. But I do not have interest in the mare." The large Clydesdale opened his mouth to speak once more. "You are a cold stallion, Diego. Don't come near me or my family again, taking something more. If you do, you will be in a bad situation, and won't get out with at least a few large scars and a heavy limp." Spirit stared at Diego with his eyes narrowed, and his nostrils flared. "Is that well understood?" Edited by Oppolti, Jan 23 2012, 02:41 PM.

I think you have the wrong impression of my home. Only half of it is caves the other half is forests and ponds. Diego said with a slight stiffening. Diego became deathly quiet but his eyes blazed with malice and sadistic humor. "I think you should not put so much faith just because you are of draft breed." Diego said quietly. "I would be careful who you threaten, Spirit you are not the only one who can inflict severe damage." With that Diego turned around and galloped out of the battlegrounds. |

Spirit snorted and narrowed his eyes, his anger now beginning to cool off. He watched Diego's figure disappear, then the Clydesdale slowly walked out himself, thinking about what Diego had said, but still content about the descision he made. |
