The black stallion is fascinated with overcoming every single challenge that is thrust into his path. He delights in the notion of testing himself and becoming the warlord he thinks he is destined to develop into, so he pushes himself above and beyond any boundaries he can possibly discover. He has fought in rain, wind, snow, and searing heat. He has fought on mountains, sand, in caves, in blizzards. He has fought men, women, larger opponents, smaller opponents, undead skeleton opponents, and has emerged from each challenge with his head held high and many lessons learned.

Except one. On the very beach upon which he now stands - with the summer sun beating down against his back and the seaspray salty on his lips - he tasted his first and only defeat.

The memory still rankles with him. It had been a painfully close match, with victory a mere hair's breadth away from him despite his opponent's shameless ninja antics. One extra bite here, or a kick there, and he would have won - but he didn't, and it is one shameful incident marring an otherwise perfect record. The leviathan doesn't know how much of an affect the surroundings had on the result, but he's keen to engage in another spar here to prove that this particular beach is not a cursed zone for him. If he arises victorious here, it will help dispel some of those lingering demons from that unfortunate incident.

It is another scorching Tallsun day, and the stallion's black fur is damp with sweat. The sea breeze helps to get rid of some of the heat, making it bearable, but it is still uncomfortable. He chooses himself a spot near the shoreline, where the crashing waves create a cacophony of noise that could prove distracting - another reason to fight here, to see how he handles the din. The dragons are lurking out to sea, devouring any fish they can find, and Volterra leaves them to their own devices as he releases an earth-shaking battlecry.
