At first, I think she won't come. Has she ignored my call? Ignored my challenge? This will not do, so I start to pace furiously back and forth. My wings are held tightly at my sides. Each step I take is quick and rough, like a machine in need of some serious oil. I feel delicate and frail, so knowing that I am about to charge (what I assume) is a healthy mare and try to beat her in battle is an idea that frightens me. I do not pace for long, as it seems the ivory mare with obsidian splotches has heard her name screamed out into the rather quiet surroundings. As she approaches me, I become embarrassed. Do I really want to do this? Last time I saw her, I started convulsing on the floor, and the horses with me had to hold me in place so I wouldn't accidentally hurt myself. Maybe when I saw Kahlua close her doe-eyes, as if she was pretending nothing was happening, I realized she was not the best fit for the crown. How does she close her eyes knowing I am on the floor being restrained?
I abruptly halt, and my stern expression shows I mean business. I readily face her as I brace myself. If she attacks me prematurely, I will be ready. Kahlua, you will not win. With my gaze staring at her, my lips peel apart from each other as my voice flutters into the air. Kahlua... I realize I have made mistakes, and you may not think of me the same as you did when you first met me. I cannot be angry at you for this, and I do not want you to forget my mistakes. They are a warning, perhaps. I pause for a moment, allowing her to register what my steady voice has said. As I resume, I let my gaze analyze her. I might as well know what I am up against now. You should have kicked me out sooner, but it is too late. If I lose, I will peacefully leave the Edge... A smirk crawls across my face. If I win, I become lead, and you step down from your throne.
She must know what I mean now, and if she doesn't.. she will figure it out. As I stand in front of her, facing her, staring at her, I begin to move. I lunge forward, into a quick gallop. My legs are obviously shorter than other legs, but they move quickly. I do not care if I look beautiful, I only care how fast I go. I aim at her right side, but her shoulder is exactly where I aim. My goal is to smash my body into hers, to throw her off of balance. Maybe it will bruise her, but I am not sure if this type of hit will do anything, but knock her off-balance. This is the reason I will my coat to ignite on fire. I am a phoenix, something feared, not confronted. Will she run, or play the game of adults with me? Now the time has come to hope that I hit her right shoulder with my fiery left shoulder. Everything will happen quick. In a few strides, I am where I think she is. Time to brace myself for impact (or failure?).
As quickly as I attempt to attack her, I run away. If I hit her, this would be good, and it is even better to run away after. Now, she'll have to run to me to get a hit. Ha, sucks for her! This is the plus side of challenging a horse and not being the challenged. I decide who attacks first, and I can make a get-away after this very first attack. Later in the battle, if our legs become entwined in a kicking match, I will not be able to run easily, but I can now. So, casually, I try circle around her at a slow paced canter. If she moves, I may not be circling around her anymore, and she may be attacking me, so I keep my eyes peeled. Kahlua, if you have not figured it out yet.. I am challenging you! I let out a slightly evil laugh, but it is short-lived so I may keep my eyes on what she is doing. Let the games begin. As quickly as it came, my fire leaves. I am back to my normal self.
