IF IT FEELS GOOD, TASTES GOOD, IT MUST BE MINE
HEROES ALWAYS GET REMEMBERED BUT YOU KNOW LEGENDS NEVER DIE

The behemoth cannot remember a Tallsun this hot. It is bordering on unbearable, especially for one as unfortunately black as himself. He longs for the welcome frigid bliss of winter, or even the chilly breezes of autumn. Anything except this; days without end, nights too short to offer any reprieve.

A sensible man would spend his time reclining beneath the trees, hiding away from the sweltering warmth. A sensible man would lurk close to water, to ensure he keeps hydrated. A sensible man would not even consider fighting in these scorching temperatures, for fear he could collapse and die of sunstroke.

But when has Volterra ever been a sensible man?

He has fought in every condition he can possibly think of; rain, storm, wind, blizzard. He has fought in caves, in hock-deep snow, up mountains, in forests. The only thing he hasn't fought in is heat like this, because the notion of it fills him with dread. He hates being hot, and has put off sparring in the summer sauna as long as he possibly can. But he is a warlord in the making, a budding king of the battlefield - he must conquer every type of weather, even this, which is easily his least favourite. It is going to be blisteringly hot, sweaty and uncomfortable, but it must be done.

Now, the only thing is to try and find somebody as stupid as himself, to take as an opponent.

So as to truly compound his suffering, the beast brings himself south, where the temperatures roam even higher than his favoured haunts in the north. Already his skin is soaking wet as he moves at an earth-shaking trot, muscles rippling beneath sweat-drenched flesh and mane hanging in damp strands across his face. The air is heavy with heat, and his nostrils struggle to inhale it as he strides towards the Flats. This fight is not going to be easy, even though the great monolith has never felt stronger. But it is necessary. Experience of sparring in such heat could prove the difference between victory and defeat in the future.

Vérzés is perched upon his back, utilising his frost breath every few seconds to try and cool the air around his bonded. Vadir flies next to the behemoth black and her red brother, her golden scales glimmering hauntingly in the sunlight. She is massive now; a fully grown queen and the largest bonded dragon Volterra has ever seen. She's found her mental voice, too, and it is a strange feminine presence in his mind. He wonders whether he will allow the dragons to help him today, or whether he will do this alone.

He pauses in the centre of the Flats and lifts his goliath head to call for an opponent; his foe will no doubt think him mad, but it is necessary.

Teaching spar for @Kiuaji !
