Note

The lightning had more affect on Gaucho than Note thought it would. The monster of a stallion seemed like he was actually hurting. 'You doofus, it's lightning; it hurts,' He cursed silently to himself. Gaucho was a Throat horse, hurting him would mean hurting his allies, which is not the best idea considering the circumstances.

Note didn't think Gaucho would be angry enough with him to actually do anything too terrible to him, but Note was rarely right about those kinds of things. Bears, large and not quite solid, appeared on either side of Note. Fear coursed through his veins, feeling smaller than ever compared to Gaucho and the bears. He wanted to run. Run far away, away from the bears and the fighting and this goddamn spar.

Before Note even had time to plan his escape, Gaucho was upon him again. His antlers knocked against his throat as Note reared, throwing the front half of his body away from Gaucho but no closer to the bears. His defense was no use; the antlers tore at his long nape, carving a gash in the side of his neck. The gash seared with pain, leaving Note feeling out of sorts. It wasn't deep, but it spanned across half his nape. Why did this stallion have to be so large? It gave him an advantage when it came to attacks such as that one.

The sting of another small cut was felt on Note's shoulder, no doubt caused by Gaucho's hoof. As Note turned his body, he caught the sight of one of the spirt bears lashing at his hocks. He couldn't let himself be harmed anymore. Note bunched up his hind legs then launched himself into Gaucho, keeping his neck tucked and not daring to turn his head back to the stallion. His teeth lashed out at Note's neck, but made no contact as the dusty bay had turned away from the monster. Note's back hooves once again met the ground, but he kept rearing, for he had never stopped. The stallion lunged forward to Gaucho's right flank, aiming his hooves for the larger stallion's elbow, as it was the only place on this huge horse he could reach at this point. He threw himself at Gaucho's shoulder, hoping to knock him away. Note knew that wouldn't work, but he sure did hope it would keep the monster at bay momentarily; he had used most of his strength on the simple push. As he tried to bump into Gaucho's shoulder, he bit at the stallion's flank. Maybe that would teach Gaucho to mess with horses his own size.
