You don't understand what it's like
to live always at war, to grow up with
battle and sacrifice;;

Nostrils quiver as the stench of another stallion wafts along through the salty air igniting the flame from smoldering ash once more. Harks at alert it is the crunching of stone that allows the grey brute to begin to draw a mental image of his foe before even seeing the nightly warrior for himself. The heavy footfalls leave him to believe that whoever beckons to him is of relative stature to himself or even slightly larger based upon the degree of crunching as hoof connects with sand and stone. Closing his eyes for a minute to study the sounds the grey opens his eyes only to find the black giant and his companion staring him down on the opposing end of the makeshift battleground. Shit, not exactly what he had been expecting but they would do. If he had his choice of opponents for his Kiara it likely wouldn’t be anything that could breathe fire! “Watch out for that dragon! I don’t want you to become lightly toasted.” He joked trying to keep his tone as light as possible despite his internal fear for her safety.

Sizing Volterra up to find that his assumptions had been mostly correct he nods politely grateful that introductions are kept short and sweet instead of being drawn out and tediously annoying as some seemed to prefer. “Ciceron and Kiara.” He replies in the same timely manner keeping his own reservations at bay for the time being. This was no time for doubt or speculations so that part of his mind was going to have to shut down and shut up until the battle was over. Win or lose this was about the experience not the outcome, to improve meant they needed to practice their skills and wield them with accuracy and precision. There was little room for mistakes and he for one was hoping to incur as little damage as possible so that he did not walk away from this in a full body cast.

Pushing forward into a lengthy trot the beast circled around his opponent’s studying them for a few moments before figuring out the best way to start this off without wasting time needlessly. He wanted to be accurate but he also wanted to maximize the amount of damage the pair of them could deal, but what would be the correct combination. Kiara waited calmly her blue gaze pinned to the red dragon like a hawk to its prey just itching to see what all she had learned from playing around with the dragons of the Fall’s. Each had their own talents but with such also came certain weaknesses, what would this flying rawhide’s weakness be?

Standing about a hand or so taller this Volterra seemed to have the advantage when it came to his weight and overall size but with the height and weight also came the limitations. His own size had similar restrictions in which he had grown accustomed to over time but with the giant being oversized surely each aspect would be increased tenfold. Flashing his tail harshly against the air like a whip the mighty grey lunged in towards the brute with his head lowered as if to try and skewer his target like a nice plump veggie on a stick. Counting his strides until impact the stallion shortened his gait pushing the full power into his hindquarters to propel himself faster aiming towards the black’s right shoulder. Leaping forward the giant used the momentum he had built to throw the weight into his forelimbs as he twisted around instead to try and slam his hind hooves directly into the poor sucker’s rib cage. It was in his hope that the initial intentions of his attack would throw off his opponent letting his hooves sneak in there and do what he had intended all along. Following through with the motion his hind hooves soon touched back into the moist sand with a soft thud propelling him away from the direct strike zone, unknowing whether or not his attack had proved to be a success or a complete flop. Kiara having sensed her partner’s intentions leapt forward to try and play decoy to try and pull some of the attention away from her grey’s attack and to hopefully keep Vérzés interest as well.

Attack: 1/3
Injuries: None
Summary: Introduces themselves briefly before trotting forward to circle Volterra and Verzes. Appears to attempt to attack Volterra's right shoulder by spearing it with his horn but last minute changes his tactic and spins around to try and buck kick Volterra in the ribs instead. Kiara attempts to distract both Volterra and Verzes by launching herself towards them hoping to draw their attention.
