The sun was now at its peak in the cloudless azure sky. The sands by this time had become white hot coal, burning the tender soles of the underfoot, the frog, the tender cushion of the hoof. Standing upon this ivory furnace was a sterling fae of noble stance, one in which the blood of the Arabian war mares ran rampant through her veins. Azure orbs blazed with a flame equal to, if not greater than that of the blistering midday sun. Her ebony locks shifted slightly, her movement their only music, for the winds were gone. Slender legs held their motion still as the firelit femora came flying at her face. Chiseled tiara snapped backwards, shimmering boa flung in reverse. Her whole body shifted to the rear, in a lightening motion, one so quick t’was nearly unnoticed. For her troubles, the silver nymph was paid in safety, the onslaught of hooves only grazing her chest. Lengthy banner flicked her slender hocks, out of habit, for the heat was great, and the pestilent bloodsuckers would soon make their arrival.

As the flame tinted opposition landed on the burning sands, the slender fae kicked off, spraying sand in the direction of the chestnut female. While there still lay a cloud of dusty sand returning to rest, she leapt, hooves snaking, aiming high, and slamming them down, not over the head, but over the crest. Her ivory teeth bared, she knew that if perchance she came short, her opponent would find an uncomfortable pain in the same area.

Feeling the tug on her mane, for the poor lady had managed to grab only that, she braced herself and swung around, pulling the hair from its roots. Shaking her neck for a split second, she soon forgot the pain in the next onslaught of attack.

Out of the corner of her sapphire eye, she saw a flash of motion, enough to make her shift position in a flash of motion, getting just out of range of the flying talons. Seeing the flaming fem dance backwards, she followed, until the fae came down. As she saw the hooves begin to fall, she leapt, her hooves out to the right, her head to the left, keeping it tucked low, ivory incisors bared, ready to strike a blow one way or t’other. She halted her motion several paces from the mare, watching, waiting, like a cat about to pounce…There! When she shook her mane, her head extended, the young queen took this chance to attack, and aimed her shining talons at the now exposed jugular. If the mare kept still, she would hit the jugular, bruising, internal bleeding…death. However, if she moved her crania down out of protective habit, the hooves would strike an equally deadly blow to the skull. Little damage indeed, if she were to defeat this one, she would have crippled the evil army, for, however she denied it, Firelight was a commander, and without a leader, the army runs rampant. With Adrian locked in battle as well, who would be there to ensure that chaos did not ensue? No one…ah, decisions decisions…..
