Her horn bumped and scraped along Archibald's side, jostling her neck as it did so but there was no time for her to celebrate or to feel any kind of accomplishment for managing to strike the massive Czar with her horn. She knew that any lapse in her concentration would be detrimental in her fight against Archibald and that he was an experienced enough warlord to capitalize on it and send her reeling. The time for her to celebrate would be when she stood victorious and could truly say that she was Archibald's equal not only in heart but in prowess.

There was no growl or hiss from Archibald as her horn sliced against his side, but Ktulu knew him well enough to know that he would not allow her to see that she caused him pain. She'd seen it in his other fights and had always chalked it up to his attempt at shaking his opponent's confidence in their abilities. How could his enemies possibly win if they were seemingly unable to make the giant feel pain? Unfortunately for Archibald, Ktulu knew him, so his stone face would not shake the confidence she had in her own abilities. In fact it only made her more determined to make the stallion show a grimace of pain on his handsome face.

His teeth closed on her topline, pinching her flesh and pulling away black and bronze hairs, but she had expected for him to use his teeth against her as well as his muscular body. She met his body with her own, shoving her smaller frame against his heftier one, but she'd had one goal in mind. Don't let him knock you down. If she had leaned away from him and tried to escape from his attack she knew there was a high possibility that he would throw her off balance and the last thing she wanted was for him to throw her on the ground. There she would be at the mercy of his massive hooves and she would never be able to live down being thrown to the ground during a fight.

The problem with meeting Archibald's body slam was that her shoulder took the brunt of the hit and she was sure that she would be sporting an ugly bruise that would make her shoulder painful for several days after the fight. Then there were her knees that were strained when she'd dug her hooves into the ground in her effort of staying upright. It was a dull, persistent ache that she knew from experience would only get worse once she stopped moving and her joints had time to rest, but she could not dwell on that right then. She had to push herself and keep fighting against her Czar.

She jerked her body away from Archibald's, her normally quick movement hindered somewhat by the ache in her knees from her battle against his body slam. Still, she pivoted and her teeth ground against one another as she put her weight on her aching forelegs as she bucked, her hind legs flashing out to strike at the stallion should he still be there. Her hope was that the sudden departure of her weight fighting against his own would cause him to stumble into her kick and that she would hear the hollow thud of her hooves against the left side of his rib-cage.

The moment her hooves touched the ground Ktulu was moving because she refused to be a stationary target for Archibald to slam into again. She knew that her body and her muscles could not take many hits like that, so she cantered in a wide circle. Her ears rotated as she listened for the Czar and the thunder that accompanied his hooves every time they touched the ground. She was prepared, when she heard him coming, to break into a headlong gallop despite the heat and the ache in her legs because she was determined that she would wear him down and make him tired and she would capitalize on that.

She hoped.
