The stallion could fight; she knew that before entering, and he would employ any advantage his crepuscular mind can find. Weight was in the steed's advantage, as it would be in most such contests, but only the naive would believe that either of them were relying on strength alone. Action--action was all she cared about, removing the invaders from her lands. Superficially, reason had little sway with the dark noble, but the surprise attack had been a measure specifically calculated to catch them off-guard, hitting them where they should be strong but are defensively weak. The goddess would not allow it.
Her mind raced deftly through the situation, and she only backed one hind before twisting out of their locked position. As he had predicted, she had been robbed of none of her agility, which now graced her with feline fluidity. Rapidly, she tucked her momentarily exposed flank behind her again and immediately planted herself, using roughly the same tactic from his shoulder rather than chest. The cream had no pretentious assumptions of this being an easy fight, but she would not give up her homelands without one. He had trespassed on what she loved most dearly besides the lives of her children, and it was her moral duty to challenge it. His advantage may lie in brute strength and cunning, but what a match can sheer will and passion be.

(Yay! I am officially 17! *grin* So happy. Also, just to assure you since it's been a terribly long time since I let my girl get into an all-out fight, DOL never heals herself in mid-fight. Unfair advantage, I'd say.)

[.fatale swoops in, one of her two powers telling her this was going on, and that one of her own species had came, and that that fatale was going to help the evils. the queen beats down toward the ground and touches the loamy earth. Her blue oculars scan the scene. It did not take long to spot the other. She had already known it was her, but decided to come anyway. Venom. How could she have guessed. Her crania is tilted toward Dog Soldiers. Being a telepathnesis and healmancer had it's advantages. She could see into Dog Soldiers heart. Her heart was softened at what she felt and read as she read his thoughts, mind, and true heart. She then makes her way over to the lights side of the fight to Dog Soldiers. Before speaking to him, she sent a mind message to and only to Daughter of Time, Daughter of Light, and Shazaam. "I am Faiths Wonderer, fw, and am here to help. I am the immortal dragon queen. The other immortal dragon over there is Venom. I may rid you of her if you desire, she is one from my terra." Quitting the mind links to them, she turns her attention to Dog Soldiers facing him. She puts up her wings, acting as a shield and a seperation for privacy.]

Dog Soldiers, I have just read your mind, heart, feelings, everything, even your memories. I am deeply sorry for the intrusion, but I can do such things. I wanted to tell you, I may help you. I can give you a special...healing...that will keep you alive as long as it takes to do what you desire most before you die. I know what it is because of what I have said previously. Would you like this?
