Soulbane

Soulbane stood ontop of a mound. He was a healthy two year old now. He didn't care that his mother lost, he was still the top foal here other then Tribulation.His mother was still the lead mare in his mind and no one could prove she wasn't. That other mare was nothing but a low down loser who thinks his mother was nothing but a waste of space. He would be three years old soon and that is when he will probably challenge his father for the lead stallion here. His father could stay on as co lead but that would be all. His mother would become highly respected mare and the current lead mare would just be a subordinate. His father would have no choice over who his co lead mare was. He snorted. His father may think he was just hot headed but he respected his father. Not the lead mare. She didn't deserve her spot.

Eclipse

Eclipse was grazing not to far from Soulbane. She had grown into a healthy two year older as well. Keeping quiet now most of the days. She was more subordient than when she was younger. However she didn't call out to Soulbane in fear of getting in another fight with him. Hanging her neck to the side somewhat she nipped at the grass.

Soulbane

Soul stood there. He looked over to eclipse momentarily and then looked around. He could challenge his father now. He was full grown. He may not be mature enough to breed but breeding wasn't that necessary yet. HE arched his neck and called out the challenge to his father. It was time to take this herd as his. His tail flicked to the side as he cantered around the place looking for his father.

tribulation

Tribulation looked at Eclipse as she noticed Soulbane. The colt she loved was turning out to be very more ambitious then she twisted him to be. But Tribulation respected the river-flow of life, and all went by what nature had written it to be. Tribulation moved towards Soulbane, but stopped near Eclipse. She didn't want to interfer with what Soul was doing, no right-minded filly would do that.

Comet

Comet was proud to find out that Starfire had won. Jewelwing will remain second in command though. He was patroling the borders when a challenge was called out to him. He sighed when he recognized Soulbane's scent. He felt part of the blame for Soulbane's attitude for he was Soul's paternal. Knowing he would have to fight his son for the terra he trotted to where he was needed. He couldn't let Soul win for he didn't understand to care for the weak. At least thats what Comet thought when he had saw him and Eclipse fighting. Not to metion Tribulation, but they seemed to get past it. Soul trying to outcast his older son which might just cause him trouble in the near future with Vintage. Being aboout 7 years old now he stood at 17.1 hands, and weighed a good 1,000 pounds. Snorting he came in veiw of Soulbane, Eclipse, and Tribulation. He didn't like the fact that the young fillys we're around. He didn't want them to see a gruesome fight, but he would not make them leave. It was a way of life, and if they wanted to watch they could. "Soulbane i accept your challenge,"he said with a angry snort. He waited for Soulbane's first attack. His testaceous coat gleaming in the sun. Aogrette feeling nothing, but the zephyr as he waited.

Eclipse snorted a greeting to Tribulation when she spotted the older filly. Than turning back she spotted Comet. Acoustics going flat against her head in worry. She wasn't sure who she wanted to win. Half of her voted for Comet, and the other for Soul. However she could guess who Trib wanted to win. After all her and Soul had been close last time she checked. "Who are you rooting for,"she asked Tribulation in a whisper.

Soulbane

Soulbane now stopped when he smelt his father coming. Soulbane cared for everyone, if they knew their place that is. His neck was arched in dominance. He wouldn't outcast Vintage. Though Vintage would be a subordinate. His tail lashed out at the flies. His beady eyes watched as his father approached him. His eyes already studying his father to see where any vulnurable spot would be.You made a pour mistake in letting that weakling Starfire remain lead even if she won the fight, I doubt it was fair to even start with, I think you placed her at lead for no reason. She has no right to lead this herd!He spoke.You are getting older and giving poorer judgements, I shall take over after this fight. I know I'll win!

His nostrils flared. He turned his dial to look at the two fillies.And tribulation shall be my lead and My mother and you shall be my co leads. Starfire will be in her rightful place as a subordinateHe spoke now turning his head back to his father.I respect you and honor you but I must make life clear to youHe spoke.

Tribulation

Tribulation only glanced warily at Eclipse, her answer went wordless as she looked back at Comet and Soulbane. "I...don't know," Tribulation replied softly, her words cold and relentless.

Comet

Comet snorted with acrimonious. He listened to what Soulbane said thinking he was erring. Every one was tantamount no matter the rank if you asked him. "Yes she is lead mare! She won the fight fair and square. I choose her as lead mare because she's the only one with latent. No matter what you think your just a spoiled brat who needs a attitude adjustment. Vintage would make a better lead than you! The day i make poor decisions is the day i die. The only thing i regret is having a evil son like you,"he said with seething anger in his words. He felt like he was in a nightmare. The only thing worse was realizing this was real, and that this was HIS son. Somewhere in there had to be a gentler spirit. One that maybe Comet could get out of Soulbane. If not than he didn't know what he was going to do with Soul.

He could picute his son as lead here. It was a horible picture... Turmoil nothing, but a bunch of bullies. You should care for those hurt even if they don't see your way. Anger boiled within him at the gruesome sight before his eyes that played. No he couldn't let his son win this fight. It would cause nothing, but pain and misery for those he cared for. He glanced to Tribulation wondering what had caught Soul's attention in her. What would Ruffienne say if she saw her daughter with this over arrogent adult colt. It seemed childish to him. Like Soul was throwing a big trantrum. Shaking his head he decided it was time for his son to learn a lesson.

When Soulbane turned his back he charged the younger male. Attepting to knock him down and trample him with his hooves. Wanting nothing more to teach this foolish youngling with pain. He had tried the easy way, but now it would have to be hard. He even ordered Jewelwing to teach this colt some sense. Now it was clear that Jewel did nothing, but spoiled the brat. Nothing but a big,fat eminent brat. Maybe he was being a little to strident, but this was all he could think of now.

Soulbane

HE snorted. Soul bane wasn't evil, He like his father was a lead stallion. He shook his dial as he stood there his nostrils flaring. His banner flagged out to the side with the wind. Soul would treat his herd with love and care just like his mother did. Tribulation would be the real lead. Mares were the leaders. The lead stallion was in charge of protecting the herd and that is what Soul intended to do. Spoiled? He laughed.Oh father you think i am evil and hate all life, But you are sadly wrong, I love you, I love mother, I love Tribulation and I will protect this herd better then you can,He spoke. His nostrils flared.

He wasn't Arrogant he just had his father dominant lead gene. Its not my fault you gave me the dominant lead gene!He snorted and shook his dial.My mother has done more for this herd then that mare, she knows how to lead this herd and yet you don't let her because of a mare who came challenging? Well guess what that makes you weak that you couldn't take on that mare! You don't just appoint a mare lead just because they saught to challenge you for your land!He spoke. His sides heaved as he breathed in the cold air.

He had turned his head ot look at the filly he loved when he felt his father body crash into his and he stumbled and also took a hoof to scratch. He snorted and shook his dial. He spun around to face his father. That was the last time he would take his eyes off of his opponent what a foolish thing to do. The black stallion now watched his father carefully.

First Attack

Soul saw his opening as his father regained his own footing and what not. Souls ears were flat back and he lunged out with his teeth aiming for the others neck. Once done he let out a snort.

Second Attack

Soul then spun quickly around and kicked out hard with his hind legs. This time aiming for the others Barrel. Once done he was quick to reposition himself so he could watch his fathers movements.

Soul bane arched his neck to protect his vitals. Pain was pain, but fear is another thing. When Soul was younger he feared his father but now he knew better then to let his fear run his life. To do that would only make him weaker.

Comet

Comet was angered again. "Your mother had been gone for a long time! For all i known she could of been a unassertive mare still. She dissapered when Icefell the lead mare before StarFire had dissapered. Along with her most of the herd. I didn't fear StarFire. I saw her for what she was a good lead mare,"he said voice daring Soul to dissident with him. He watched as his attack caught Soul off guard with a smirk. This colt didn't know how to fight one bit he thought. It made him feel a bit of pity at Soul, but not enough for him to let up on his son.

He was caught by his son's hooves to the hindquarter. It left a bluish mark against his black coat that would leave him bruised. Angerly he prepared for his next attack. Being filled with petrol from seeing his son's future as lead once again. He couldn't trust Soulbane's words till he saw it himself. No he wouldn't put his herd in danger like that. He arched his own neck going a full hand higher than Soulbane. That made it easier for him to keep his head higher in dominace. Maybe it would bring fear back Soulbane when he saw his father at his full heigh with his dark beady eyes boring into his son.

First Attack
He quickly snapped out at his son's shoulder aiming to take skin or meat form the attack.

Second Attack
This one he shot his teeth for Soul's neck to leave a nasty wound.

One done he watched for Soul's next attack.

Soulbane

Soulbane snorted at his fathers words keeping his neck arched the whole time. He watched his fathers movements carefully. Oh he's arching his neck so scary. Fear would only cause soul to lose and it would be rather disgracefully too. He didn't let his father scare him. His face remained determined and what not. The scratch on his side bled only slightly. That did not faze him what so ever.

His fathers teeth struck out and Soul had moved but his fathers attack hit its mark. When his father tore away he was missing just a tad bit of skin. No worries, he would heal from that. He saw the second snap coming and soul swung his body around taking the teeth on his hind end which only caused some skin to become removed.

First Attack

As soul had swung his backside toward his father to defend himself against the bite he also Kicked out hard with his hind legs towards his fathers chest area.

Second Attack

After the first attack he swung around and reared up and attempted to slash his front hooves at his fathers face.

After this he moved a safe distance away. His tail held a bit higher and neck arched. He was really confident now. Yes his fathers last two attacks left more then scratches on him but those would heal with time.

Comet

Comet had saw his son's back hind muscles bunch ready for the kick. He quickly turned so that the kick took his shoulder. It left the same kind of mark on his hindquarters which was blue. One again it would be sore on him so he would have to put much of his weight on his right side. That is until it didn't hurt as much.

One of the hooves caught Comet's face. It left a long red scar going down his right side of his face. In time it would heal though. He would carry this mark proudly though since it showed him protecting his land.

Soul

The battle having finished both he and his father stood facing each other. He favored his left hind a bit from the wound on his hind and he gave his neck a shake. His mane dripping in blood He snorted.If he did not win this he would leave this land and ask tribulation to come with him. He would find a land and become the lead stallion there. He would also ask his mother to join him as his advisor which is a higher position then second in command. His ears lay flat back
