Ace had fallen asleep next to the oasis a few hours ago, after drinking a bellyful of water to relieve him from the dry heat that seemed to remain even without the sun’s rays. He swayed gently as he stood, his wings tucked closely to his sides and head low to ground, so far down that the lush grasses that grew around the Throat tickled his bottom lip. He would not have woken this night if he hadn't rocked too far to one side and nearly fell. Stumbling forward to recover, he looked around to make sure no one had seen. Phew, he thought, that would of been embarrassing. No other horses stood near him, he was seemingly alone in next to the oasis. The stallion lowered his dark head to the ground again and was about to shut his eyes when he heard it. He heard a voice, it bellowed out and made him jump “This land now belongs to the Aurora Basin, unless one of you ladies would like to convince me otherwise” His head shot up. We’re being invaded.
The Pegasus unfolded his wings and took to the sky almost immediately, searching for the source of the voice. It was seconds before he saw a bay Unicorn, not far from where he slept on the other side of the oasis. He decided not to fight this challenger, as angry as the jest made him. He flew to the borders of his home to look for other horses that had come to invade his home. The sky was cloudy therefore difficult to see the ground this far up, so dived down a little. Another unicorn was skulking in the shadows, and they entered through one of the unfinished points of the wall. The grullo hovered in the air for a few moments before deciding what to do. He knew one thing: that he would fight for his herd. The last time his herd was attacked, he was but a yearling and could do nothing against the vicious wolves that tore his family to pieces, so he and his best friend fled. Ace would not let his new family, even if he had just joined them, meet the same fate, murdered in their own homeland.
He thrashed his wings and set off towards the mountains. The unicorns from the Aurora Basin may not be used to the rocky, unstable ground beneath them here, and this may provide an advantage. Ace didn't go up into the mountains, but stood on a ledge about six feet up at the base. The Pegasus could easily take off from here, see intruders, and also jump down onto them if need be. The stallion didn't feel nervous, excited maybe, but most of all ready for a fight and shouted out as loud as he could “If you want our land, come and claim it!” he then let out a piercing whinny, challenging any who dared to a fight.
[469 words, 0/4 rounds. Just after midnight, at the base of the Dragon’s Throat Mountains, stood on an outcrop of rock six feet tall, the sky is cloudy. Permission to use magic granted, as long as it doesn't kill Ace]
