Was he going mad? Fighting a creature that certainly a match for him for nothing? No prize or care? With nothing more at stake than ego he was willing to pull out all the stops? No, that couldn’t be madness. Madness was defined by days pacing rock caves, and boarders. Madness was a collar. This, a flex of muscle and mind, was utterly sane compared to that. He wasn’t going mad, he was waking up from it.

They clashed, two bodies slamming into one another, opposite shoulders colliding. The golden gained a small scratch on his right shoulder, but the Amarathine was not so lucky. Sounding like a dozen swords being drawn, the spikes at his collar were shocked into awakening by the impact and sunk in. The golden’s wicked smile bared all, turning to bloodlust in the heat of the strike as the scent of blood rose up to him.

Momentum was not arrested though and the bodies tore past one another. The golden stumbles as he drew up sharp, the snow and his already worn body impeding his usual grace. His mood though was too high to notice its absence. On his breath, though heavy from the effort of before, was a whisper of a laugh. Perhaps a bloody defeated Ophelia wasn’t his end goal, but he certainly would love to see it. He swung round, the heavy armor on his back slowing his agility, but his earth eyes catch sight of a near fully blood stained mare. It made him giddy. Her color changing magic fueled his own the bloodlust born in the height of battle. Thranduil’s smirk rose as she came at him again, doing all the work for him. Tasseled tails flicked back and forth, ready to imbed the spikes, now gleaming in the afternoon sun, and turn her illusion of blood into a reality.

With snow flying up she came again, yet reached back for something. Golden harks pinned, but there was no time. The next second it’s gone, washed away in fog and headache once more, because for the second time her magic washed upon him, only this time without miss or mercy.

The dark stag to the right of the golden struggled. He was ready for a brawl, yet was finding himself unnoticed. His mind was weaving together other plans when he feels the constant drumming from the gold slow again. He turned to look to his bonded, but a flash of light, hot and white, erased everything. Blind he reached out ”Thranduil, fight!” But the golden was too far lost in headaches and blindness to answer. Panic struck the deer’s heart. When the slightest sight returns, it was too late!

Her teeth lock into flesh, bruising, and cutting. A scream of pain and shock echoed across the snow from the gold. Haldir’s heart broke at the sound. How dare she! In youth and inexperience he acted on his overzealous loyalties. Small black body surged from its post, antlers swinging as he targeted Ophelia’s left side. His legs locked into rhythm, determined to crash forward through snow and brush no matter what. Yet the golden was already acting.

Though pain surged through the gold, it loosens the magic’s grip and the red mare’s blurry form began to gain meaning again.  Teeth bared, and instantly, still without remembering who this creature was or why, the golden went on the offensive. Humor, which had lost its reasons with the memory of his attempted stealth, gave way to a cold viciousness. How dare she- (still fumbling for a name) mettle in his mind and strike at a place to so vulnerable. It was an insult added to his pain. Yet this wasn’t the golden of before. In this insult he did not lose himself entirely to a hot tempered flame and rage, but seethed in a cold fire, with damned grin and cruel intentions.

The golden stepped up fast, not wanting to lose his advantage of having her close. To give distance now felt like a vulnerability after she somehow managed to sneak this close. So he did not pull back to escape her grip but instead hinds dug into the soft earth below the snow and shove again forward. A dark shadow of a stag flashes in his side vision, but for both of them it was too late to alter course now. The spikes at the gold’s collar lashed out, and without mercy at the same time his called forth magic of his own to try and bring the smoke of his cold flames into Ophelia’s (that was her name!) eyes. A suitable payback for her somehow blinding him. The effects of her magic were wearing off, and the golden was only emboldened by it.
