At first, Nalia didn't believe that another accepted the offer of her terms so quickly, especially not one from her own kingdom. She'd been tasked by Scorch to seek out another from one of their allied kingdoms, but the mare later relented and informed the paint filly that she would be allowed to fulfill her mock battle task with Bristol, a bay mare from Nerine. Nalia hadn't personally gotten to know the mare yet, but she had seen her among the other kingdom residents in one of the central meadows where they all gathered to graze in peace.
Overall, she thought of the mare as a pretty creature, her milk chocolate bay coat glistening in the sunlight as the two young ones approached each other on the field where the mock battles were held. There was no sense of malice between the two; they were here to complete a task, to gain the experience needed to become capable warriors who would give whatever they could to defend their home. Even if they never grew to become great friends, they had a mutual understanding, something Nalia greatly respected the mare for.
Otherwise, she would think that bay mare would take this battle more seriously.
As it was, neither would hold anything back, save for causing near fatal harm. A light breeze blew Nalia's mane to one side of her neck as Bristol nodded to her before lifting her legs to pick up a canter stride. Within a few moments, she was airborne, causing Nalia surprise for she figured the mare would've withheld her flight until later to save her strength.
Nalia's hazel eyes locked onto the other mare's wings, much unlike the bird-like pair the filly possessed. The filly opened her own wings to give herself some space from the mare, a gust of wind catching her wings to propel her backwards. Unfortunately, there was not enough space when Bristol came down. Her teeth were aimed for Nalia's face, but due to the filly's quick thinking, she got the fragile body part away from Bristol. The filly squealed in pain as she felt the mare's teeth catch the sensitive flesh on her neck, not severely breaking the skin but leaving a definite sensation of ache. She could feel the light trickles of blood from the bite mark, but knew they would heal with little a scar if any.
Bristol was not done, her attacks coming in quick succession. The mare beat her wings to try and distract the filly from her true purpose, but Nalia would not have it. Unknown to her, she played right into Bristol's plan, ducking under the mare's teeth and hooves to escape further injury. Suddenly, an explosion of pain ripped through her right wing, causing Nalia to snake back toward Bristol to attack. However, the mare was already moving out of reach, her haunches exposed but allowing the wounded Nalia no time to retaliate.
Only a few feathers had been plucked from the filly's wings, but due to their make-up, such an action made them sensitive to the touch. Keeping a wary eye on Bristol, the filly flapped her right wing to test its pain tolerance. She could feel the ache lace through her wing every time she flapped it, but the damage was not severe. Perfect, because now it was Nalia's turn to have a little fun.
The filly turned and galloped in the opposite direction of Bristol to gain some momentum, lifting herself into the air with two flaps of her wings. It was plain to see that she was flapping her right wing faster than her left, more than likely as a ploy to try and forget the pain she was experiencing. She knew Bristol would try to take advantage of that factor, so she had to be careful.
Once she was in the sky, Nalia flew up so she had greater height than the mare. Once she reached her point, the filly turned again so her body was positioned for a dive bomb. She tucked in her wings and rocketed towards the mare, her eyes narrowed to avoid letting the wind and dust from the battleground cloud her sight.
Bristol would have time to move away, but Nalia was ready. Just feet before coming into contact with the mare, Nalia opened her wings to slow her descent, creating a down draft of wind that would impede even a strong flyer. Putting the second portion into motion with the speed of a snake, Nalia flapped her wings again to turn her body, moving so her haunches were in position. With the power that some might say equaled the sound of thunder, Nalia struck out with her hind legs in an effort to hit Bristol with enough impact to give her some pain that would not be so easy to get rid of. Nalia moved again to try and get out of Bristol's reach, knowing the mare would want to attack her again. What she had pulled, leaving her haunches exposed, was a risky move, but only if Bristol were quick enough to take advantage of such an opportunity after what Nalia did.
OOC: Nalia has some bite marks on her neck from Bristol's teeth, and an impeded right wing from ripped feathers. She counter attacked by divebombing Bristol, using a downdraft of wind to impede her own flight and striking out with her hind legs. Her haunches are currently exposed for an attack.
I figure the downdraft of wind isn't really a 'regular type' attack, but since they're in the sky I feel like Nalia can't do much so quickly. She's still learning the ways of a sky battle.
@[Bristol] Hmm, peculiar the tag option didn't work for you.
