Enough, was enough. He'd lingered within the Edge, keeping the peace and quieting the anger that thrummed through him each time a stab was made at the safety of his herd. The Edge, the Qian, was his family. And he was one of their protectors, and it was about time that he stepped up to protect them in a more active fashion than simply patrolling the borders.
From the trees he strode, walking away from the twinkling lights that had made his bronze scales glitter, walking away from his regular routines. Across the snowy expanses of the thistle meadow he strode, his goal the light of one of the strange glowing trees. Enormous wings rose into the air as he grew closer, until he beat them with sharp vigor, blowing away the drifts of snow to reveal the hardened ground beneath. Bent blades of grass, laid flat to the ground beneath the weight of the snow, gradually began to straighten, only to be crushed flat again beneath broad hooves.
Sides expanded as his lungs filled with air, a moment's sorrow spared for the cold lump of unlit fire that could not answer his needs, before a bellowing roar ripped through the darkness. A dare, a summons, one that rang through the darkness and made sane creatures huddle into their burrows in fear of a dragon's wrath. "I will not longer stand by while you and yours poke needles at me and mine. Come and face the consequences of stirring the Dragonheart's nest!" His deep voice rumbled out, quieter but no less demanding than the roar he'd belted out moments before. Restlessly he stood beside the glowing sentinel, its light illuminating his entire left side and casting a strange glow over the pale dragon figure painted there, long tail swaying in the air as his golden eyes searched for his opponent's approach.

- Official Challenge: Vikram vs. Chemical for Chemical's freedom due to her attempt to steal Kaj Here.
- Four posts each plus closing defense, 72 hour wait limit before automatic forfeit, unless otherwise agreed upon and stated here.
- No magic, companion physical attacks acceptable if possessed.
- Pregnant mares are allowed to fight, but they run a high risk of losing their foals. If their foal is kept, there is a high chance that it will have suffered some damage to its health, regardless of the original foal stats. Chemical may use a substitute fighter proclaimed as such, fight at the risk of her foals' health, or forfeit.
- Should Chemical or her substitute, if used, forfeit or lose the challenge, Chemical becomes the prisoner of Vikram and thus the World's Edge. If Vikram loses, his situation may be decided by Chemical.
Setting: Only light comes from a single glowing tree in the center of a area cleared of snow by Vikram's wings, the snow is thus higher than usual around this clearing and serving as a barrier to ground-bound movement. The ground is hard and frozen, and thus prone to being slippery. The grass is dry and bent, potentially likely to add to slipperiness. There is no special weather conditions currently.
