-- Characters are aware of each other's presence and actions in this thread.
-- You must list one minor and major fear of your character within your first post (just as an ooc note).
-- Always summarize your attacks and defenses as an ooc note. Please also make it very easy to understand which direction your character is facing, who they are near and what sides they are attacking/defending!

Prize: The companion being dropped can be any Common Mythical non-species specific (Boggart, Hellhound, Kitsune) companion or Normal companion the victor chooses.

Process: This is an RE Boss, meaning it needs to be defeated through fighting and has a pre-determined amount of HP, strengths and weaknesses. Through the course of posting you may be able to discover these.
-- Your character's goal is to earn as many points as possible during the fight. Any time the Boggart's struck it loses HP and those points are applied to your character.
-- There will be 'rounds' with no set post order every 72 hours. Rounds will last until all the Boggart's HP is lost.

Restrictions: Magic and companions can be used with the normal restriction of 2 uses total and you cannot exceed 2 attacks and 1 defense in each post.

Weather: A calm birdsong afternoon with the sun shining brightly down on the Helovia's Heart. The tall grasses are green and strong, and dirt moist but not slick and only hard and dry near the Heart's Edge. There is an occasional, soft breeze and the chatter of animals.

The morning began as any other calm day within Helovia's Heart, and as the sun progressed in the sky there seemed to be no sign to suggest it would end otherwise. Yet come the crowning of the afternoon, something did shift. The air seemed to grow stale even as a steady breeze billowed. The skies surely darkened even as the sun reigned supreme. There was a low sort of whine that underlined the song of the birds and the talk of the crickets.

It could not be felt, not seen nor heard, yet as surely as as the sun warms your back and the wind plays in your mane, a wicked presence existed. A defiant bellow rose then from the tall grasses. It wailed up and over the plains, spreading to all of Helovia with it's echo of vengeance. The Boggart had returned to where Lace and Valentine had unleashed it, and it still burned with the heat of Fajira's flame. It thirsted for revenge in a way that it's plundering of Helovia in the past season had not quenched. It mattered little if it was the same two horses that showed, but the Boggart needed the satisfaction of a final victory and would not rest until it had seized it or been cleaved to ribbons.

Impatiently waiting for the worms to crawl from the woodwork, the Boggart shifted into a dark and gloomy cloud that drove around the Heart in a baleful circuit.
