Together the black and the white unicorn rise up from the burnt ground. Grass crunches, dust is kicked up and it almost looks as if the air is moving around the two warm bodies. Like a hot day in the desert. The Monster is wet all over, he has travelled far and even if his brain seems to ignore the body’s needs the fact is that he will not keep on his feet for much longer.

Nothing comes of the clash. A slick hoof glances off a flecked shoulder and an icy horn makes a small cut behind a black ear before the white one rises above the Monster. Then they plunge down just as they have risen - together.

The regal ice stallion starts to circle, but the Monster knows nothing of tactics and follows after just a second of collecting himself. But the trembling of his exhausted legs, the stiffness of his body after the long travel and the heat finally takes its toll. The capriole the Monster has started ends with him on his knees. The scabs are broken and dark blood colors the brown grass under him.

He rolls to the side and an irritated snort passes his nostrils and then he throws his head around as he furiously kicks with his legs to get back up. Almost up he throws himself after the white stallion again, but he acts to soon and again he ends up on the ground. The scene is almost pathetic, but still a bit sad, like a fly with its wings torn off that desperately tries to fly anyways. Once more The Monster rises and jumps after the light stallion. This time he stumbles on the rope and as his neck and head is tugged towards the ground his rear end goes off to the right. He falls on his side and rolls half way around - kicking and throwing his head about as if he is trying to slash the other with his horn.

The black unicorn is dirty, covered in sweat and bloody - mostly by his own doing. His body has no strength left, but his red and yellow eyes rolls madly - whites showing. Slowly his kicks become less furious and he stops tossing his head around. With flanks heaving, nostrils vibrating and legs trembling the black monster finally gives in to his exhaustion. Slowly his devil eyes closes and he falls into something between unconsciousness and sleep.
