SUPER POWER FIGHT - any/all - Belgarath - 09-21-2015 [ok friends, so here's a super power fight! anyone can join, but be aware that injuries may occur and no one is completely immune to anything. You can bow out or jump in at any time, so long as the thread is active. let's be creative and imaginative and have some fun with this!] Bel should be sore at losing his challenge, but when he thinks about it, the thought of having to take care of a bunch of mares (again) is just so… unappealing at the moment. And let’s be honest, he fucks around for the fun of it, not because he actually wants to do something. He’s a lazy asshole who gets his rocks off by torturing others (for the most part), and playing with his ice powers. Just knowing the extent of what he can do is enough. Sometimes. Other times (like now), he’s feeling another sort of itch, and it’s the kind that needs an cold, cold touch. Good Lord, when you think about it, Belgarath has really mellowed as he’s aged. There used to be a time when he was a go-getter and held a rank in the Chamber. He might be able to be persuaded to do something like that again, but there would have to be something particularly juicy in it for him – succulent and moist and dripping in sweet, sweet nectar – the kind of thing that would dribble juice down his chin when he bites into it. The kind of thing that makes people move to the tropics, or even just SoCal for. He doesn’t have anything particular in mind at the moment, but he’ll know it when he hears it. Could be oranges or peaches or mangoes. Could be tan women in barely-there bikinis. But what does a horse know of those things? Mostly just for the hell of it, and because winter is coming, Belgarath stands at the fringe of the Meadow, under the watchful eye of half-naked branches and browning leaves. The air around him cools dramatically as his glacially blue eyes wander over the bums and vagabonds. Technically, he is one of them. But he could hardly be lumped together with the rest of them. And to prove that he not to be lumped in with one of them, a resounding, thunderous CRACK! rips across the Meadow, as the ground beneath him splits, and ice rapidly rises, pushing him onto an elevated ice dais, three times as high as himself. His footing is sure, for the ice is as much a part of him as his blood is. With the ice comes fear and distress and all of those fun things that demons like to pull with when they rise from those various circles of hell. Winter is coming. Eh, scratch that. Winter has come early. The dappled warhorse leers and looms from on high, enjoying the stares and looks of confusion and fear. But as this is Beqanna, there will surely be some do-gooder who will try to challenge him – or even better, someone who wants to play along. So let’s play King of the Castle, shall we? May the best – and strongest – horse win. RE: SUPER POWER FIGHT - any/all - Tiberios - 09-21-2015 You see, winter had stopped bothering Tiberios some time ago. Its influence had lost its grip as soon as he’d fought his resurrected self and gained an eternal fire. Always warming him, always pressing against his bones to be free. Truth was, he’d never pushed the limits of his power, mainly because he’d never felt the need to. There had never been a moment in time where he felt he needed it - even though it was a muscle he could easily flex. He’d come across other horses who could wield flame, seen how their orange tendrils had wove and risen along their bodies. He admired them, but he could not relate. His own flame, a white heat at the center ringed in pale blue, radiated a devilish warmth that was too dangerous to play around with. That didn’t mean he kept it hidden. As he traversed the meadow the flame ran rampant, circling his neck and dancing along the golden blaze that covered his face. He laughed, because even as he controlled it the flame took a life of its own. Though the gift had taken much (this was obvious by the marring of his body) it had also given in return. It had given him Shatter, it had given him purpose, and it had given him renewed life. The flame was all his own to command, but he never pressed it to bend to his will. Over time, Tiberios liked to think of his gift as his companion. As sincere as his thoughts were getting, they were interrupted rather rudely. An enormous, resounding crack ricochets through his body and sends the meadow into turmoil, ripping the very soil in half. Tiberios turns, eyes wide as he views ice erupt from the ground to raise a lone horse above the others. Instantaneously, Tiberios is pissed. He’d hated show-offs since his run with the magician, and this horse looked no different. Puffed up like some grand bird on his pedestal, he peers down among the others and smirks. Tiberios is not impressed. Instead, he feels the fire screaming within, and for the first time in a long time, he agrees. No more playing around. His body spontaneously combusts, the white wildfire completely consuming him. He’s not burnt - in fact, he’s smiling right along with the ice-horse. His own power rages, fanning out into a circle around him before rising in pillars. He’s ringed in unearthly fire, and he loves it. “Your mother never taught you manners, did she?” He calls out, stepping forward while the others disperse. The heat is so unnerving that the very ground begins to harden, turned to glass as if lightning has struck it. His ears fall, and his head tips to the side. “Someone needs to put you in your place.” The flame, enticed by his words, grows into a spiraling inferno and leaps out, touching the ice that the grey has created. Tiberios feels an adverse effect, screaming that rings in his mind and horrible images of Shatter flashing across his eyes. But he accepts it and cringes, watching the ice retreat with the new threat. If it was a show he wanted, it was a show he’d get. RE: SUPER POWER FIGHT - any/all - Joscelin - 09-24-2015 She had been bored this morning. Patrolling and exploring the Jungle had held little appeal for her on this particular day. She is restless, wishing to stretch her metaphorical wings and soar the skies. So, with little fanfare, she leaves the Amazon and takes to the overcast heavens. Though the jungle is as hale and vibrant as ever, the rest of Beqanna is slowly dying, giving way to the oncoming winter. And though she has grown accustomed to the Jungle’s heat, she finds that the cold still does not bother her terribly much. Perhaps that has something to do with knowing exactly how it feels to freeze. How it feels to have your body become solid, immobile. How it feels to shatter. She bears the scars of the horrific occasion upon her entire body, a testament to her will to survive. Or to a magician’s power, however one prefers to look upon it. She reaches the meadow just as a large CRACK! splits the air. She had been just about to land, to see who might be lingering about these parts today, but the ice spreading rapidly across the earth causes her to think better of that plan. With the ice comes dreadful visions, of ice and snow, of death and destruction. But these are nothing compared to what she has already lived. If the idea was to frighten her, whatever is causing this would need to try much, much harder. As she lifts back into the air, raising herself to a higher vantage that she might see who the culprit is, the dark fissures in her skin begin to spark and flare, her internal light dancing across her skin in a wild display. She spies him easily, for he has boldly raised himself upon a dais of ice. Well, well. Someone’s gotten a little cocky. Her metallic eyes flare brightly as a grin spreads across her lips. And here she thought her day had been doomed to boredom. Be careful what you wish for, they say. In this case, she thinks her wishes are working rather well. Just then another stallion approaches, anger in his tone as he challenges the dapple stallion. How could anyone possibly resist this? With a grin on her lips and a spark of defiance in her golden eyes, she offers her own rejoinder. "Looks like I’m in for quite a show. Should I be selling tickets?"
