    Assailant -- Year 226

    QOTY

    "But the dream, the echo, slips from him as quickly as he had found it and as consciousness comes to him (a slap and not the gentle waves of oceanic tides), it dissolves entirely. His muscles relax as the cold claims him again, as the numbness sets in, and when his grey eyes open, there’s nothing but the faint after burn of a dream often trod and never remembered." --Brigade, written by Laura

    Mazikeen had made the Curse promise to stay away during the daylight hours, but Mazikeen is not here in the Silver Cove. As soon as the piebald stallion answers the challenge, it shoves away what is left of Gale and prepares to fight.

    Gale has too much honor for a good fight, the Curse thinks. He’s not reckless enough to really enjoy the thrill of it. But the Curse is, and it enjoys a good match.

    The Curse yawns in the early morning light as Chemdog approaches, displaying long white teeth that have no place in a horse’s mouth. It has already shown off some of Gale’s shifting, but it benevolently gives its black and white opponent the courtesy of knowing that the brindle shape it wears is more than meets the eye.

    Chemdog is quick to start the battle after his begrudging acceptance, and the Curse displays those sharp teeth a second time in an appreciative smile. The smile doesn’t fade; instead it becomes a feline snarl in an instant.

    As Chemdog rears up, Gale’s equine body shifts into a white-maned brindle lion, and lunches - front claws out - toward the black horse’s exposed belly. Disembowling will end the fight quickly, and there are few ways for the Keeper of the Cove to avoid Gale’s sharp claws and teeth to his undersides.

    Of course, there are few ways for Gale to avoid being beneath the flat stomping hooves of the horse either, so he scrambles away as quickly as he can on the stony beach. Chemdog’s biting teeth found nothing to grasp, but his front hooves strike Gale’s left leg just as the brindle lion ducks beneath the stallion’s right side.

    The self healing means that by the time Gale comes up from Chemdog’s left side, any damage from the hoof strike is healed, and he can leap upward, and bite and claw at anything along the black horse’s left side.
