The man is giving him a run for his money. But then, he had expected no less from the Chamber’s highest ranking warrior. And though Hurricane has the edge now, having become invisible, Warship does not seem at all affected by being unable to see him. He pivots, clearly favoring his injured hock, but wasting no time in executing his attack.
Hurricane had not escaped unscathed from the other stallion’s swift response to his buck. Warship’s hooves had caught his left rear cannon, nicking his tendon before scraping along the outer edge of the bone. Though the blow had not drawn blood, it had bruised fiercely. Fortunately his tendon remains intact, though stiff, causing him to walk with a slight limp. However, given his invisibility, it would be unnoticeable to his opponent.
The gray stallion’s intention had been to move around and attack Warship from the side, but the black general is swifter than he had anticipated (or perhaps he is just slower and more injured than he had thought). The Chamber man barrels at him with all the force of a locomotive. Hurricane had turned and moved forward already, so the blow is fortunately not aimed at his front or his ribs. Rather, the black stallion’s full weight is aimed at his right haunch. Bunching his muscular hindquarters, he firmly plants his front feet and bucks into the other man’s forward momentum. Warship is close enough that Hurricane’s scrabbling rear hooves would likely reach no higher than his knees, but with the force of Warship’s momentum combined with Hurricane’s powerful buck, he could easily do some damage if he connects with flesh. While breaking one of his opponents legs might be too much to hope for, some serious bruising, a damaged tendon, or even a popped splint might be in the offing. On the other hand, he could miss Warship’s legs all together and hit only air.
But then Warship slams directly into Hurricane’s right buttock, and the gray stallion is far more concerned about retaining his upright position. He had put himself into a precarious position by anticipating Warship’s attack with a buck, and now he is paying for it. He stumbles heavily as his rear hooves hit the ground with a jarring thud, the other man’s forward momentum causing him to lurch forward several feet. The force nearly brings him to his knees, but by the skin of his teeth he manages to keep his footing. The heavy muscling in his right hindquarter aches fiercely from the impact and would no doubt bruise impressively. In that moment, he is incredibly grateful for the invisibility that hides his fumble.
Unfortunately he has little time to recover, for war waits for no one. He is not about to let his opponent know how well his attack had found its mark. Swinging from his position in front of Warship, he turns towards his opponent’s left hand side, pivoting so that he is at nearly a ninety degree angle to Warship. Spreading his wings, he pumps them strongly to give himself lift, relieving a portion of his weight from his injured thigh and rear cannon. Launching himself up and forward, he strikes out with his front hooves, aiming for Warship’s already injured left flank. Because he chose to use his wings rather than his hindquarters as the impetus to drive himself forward, the force he could bring to bear would be reduced. But if his strike lands on or near the general’s previous injury, Hurricane would not need as much power to deliver some damage. And though the stallion could avoid more serious injury by moving forward, backward, or sideways, Hurricane has the advantage of being unseen. So while Warship could use other cues to guess where he is coming from (the gust of wind from his wings, the sound of his hooves, his breathing, etc), he would have little way of knowing for certain where he is aiming for.</div></div><div style="width: 576px; position: relative; bottom: 470px; left: -100px; font-size: 10pt; padding-top:0px; margin-top: 10px; color: #363636; font-style: italic; line-height: 100%;">There is never a day that goes by</div><div style="width: 576px; position: relative; bottom: 480px; left: 20px; font-size: 10pt; padding-top:0px; margin-top: 10px; color: #363636; font-style: italic; line-height: 100%;">that is a good day to die.</div><div style="width: 576px; position: relative; bottom: 480px; left: 100px; font-size: 14pt; color: #363636; line-height: 100%;">Hurricane</div></div></center><center><font color=black size=1>html c Insane</font></center>
