Nitika felt her hooves make contact with the mare, her wild brown eyes looking down in that split second to see what she had struck. She glimpsed one of her hooves coming down on her opponent's right wing, the point of impact on the curve which no doubt caused a twinge of pain in the other. Another ran down the mare's chest, the impact jarring Nitika's leg since it was that leg's shoulder which had been injured.
Nitika did not have an easy time recovering from that; as soon as her hoof had impacted the opponent's chest, what felt like lightning surged through her leg, a stinging pain like hundreds of bees attacking all at once caused her to squeal. Okay, that attack hadn't been one of her brightest ideas, but she'd gotten a hit in all the same. The mare might not have suffered as much damage, but no doubt there was a lingering ache that would hopefully give her room for an advantage later in the fight.
Still high in the air, Nitika's front legs continued flailing out, now moreso to drive her opponent away rather than attack again. Until she had a second to recover, Nitika doubted her leg could manage another attack without more pain in her shoulder. Pain that, right now, she could not afford. Her brown eyes watched the mare carefully, the tension in her body like a coiled snake ready to strike as her opponent turned her body, exposing her shoulder and moving in closer to the painted mare.
In that split second, Nitika realized her, what could be, fatal mistake. She failed to take into account what would happen if the mare recovered fast enough to attack her while she was still up in the air, and now she was going to pay for it. The mare impacted Nitika with the brute force of a tree slamming to the ground, effectively knocking the wind from the mare's lungs. Nitika's nostrils fought to regain some air and drive away the dizzying feeling quickly overcoming her as she moved her front legs, one of them trying to grab around the mare's neck to prevent her from falling over backwards.
Niitka was trying everything she could to stay on her hooves. Her attempt at hooking the mare's neck was not working, her breast was aching terribly from the impact just now, and she could feel the ground beneath her back hooves giving way. Adding all that with the momentum of the mare's attack, and she knew her efforts were wasted.
The moment she felt the ground give way, Nitika threw her body to the side to avoid falling on her back. As it was, she thought that would've hurt less. The second she hit the ground on her left side, pain shot through her body, the jagged rocks piercing her skin like that arrow had done to her shoulder, only multiplied by hundreds now. One in particular cut the side of Nitika's face, above her eye, leaving a cut that, while not fatal, was now dripping blood on her white fur.
Getting her legs back under her before the mare could strike again, Nitika fought to get up, her aching body protesting with each movement. The rocks tilted and moved under her shifting weight as she stood, the mist fogging the air as if sensing the fight's growing tension. Nitika felt a chill run through her, the mist not helping as a cold sweat ran down her brow. Nitika hadn't exerted enough energy yet to really begin sweating, but she could feel the efforts of her exertion not only along the lines of her abdomen and breast bones, but all through her aching muscles and limbs. Still, this fight was far from over.
Holding her head down for a brief moment and taking a breath, Nitika lunged again, this time deciding to use her teeth. She aimed for the mare's chest, lifting herself off of her front end again and using her knees to block the mare from trying to tackle her again and knocking her off balance. Lips pulled back, Nitika's teeth went for the mare's crest near her withers, the painted mare now fueled by nothing more than adrenaline and the desire to win.
Attack: 2/3
Summary: Nitika was hit by Isopia's attack; she is currently dazed from having the wind knocked out of her, being hit by rocks, and has a cut above her eye from a sharp rock she fell on. Nitika attacked Isopia with her teeth, aiming for her crest/wither area, using her knees to block Isopia from trying to tackle her again while she attacks.
I have decided to change some things up. A word count will no longer be recorded, and the number of posts is no longer limited to three, unless both fighters would like it to stop. I'd like to see this fight go until the end, when a mare's health runs out and she can't fight anymore. I'm enjoying this way too much for it to end this quickly.
