BLACK CHAMPAGNE
FRAIL, THE SKIN IS DRY AND PALE.

Why was it he always returned when something completely horrible was going to happen not too long away? Bad timing he has, correct? But he decided he'd come and fight in the war, for the peace and safety in his empire. No matter who claimed each terra seperately, he still ruled over all of them. The king of kings, but the news that Hollow Woods and Taunting Marshes becoming allies struck him like a rock hitting a glass window. So, that's how the darks wanted to play it? Two can play at that game, he'd go across his border and mingle with the king in the next terra.

Tendons splashed against the little pond that waterfall trickled into and soon enough he lighted onto the bay, finding himself shaking the water droplets off of his ebony pelt with a satisfying snort of approval. Amber opticals watched his terra for a moment, he was afraid to leave it unattended. He had just claimed it, it could slip out from under his nose easily, so he'd hurry across, talk, and run back. Wait! Ava was there, she'd warn him if anything was troubling her or the land. Such a loyal queen she was, maybe even my loyal queen.

Haunches pushed him off in a peaceful lope across his land, head held high and proudly as he cautiously crossed the border from Forgotton Valley to Elixar Grove. It wasn't as mystical as his home, but it did have enough to support a herd of lights. Stilts carried him up the side of a steep hill and there he stood, silhouetted against the sunset, before his vocals were even allowed to float into the air. Lead stallion! Show yourself! I am Black Champagne, king of Forgotton Valley and heir to all of Midnight Acres!

Slender bay limbs brings me through the land while I watched for danger and other brutes that dare to roam in my terra. Then another scent came across my nares. This was a new scent, someone who I never met before, it was a brute. Did he want my land and my family. I wasn't sure, but I wasn't going to sit around and wait. I was going to find out what he wanted.

My bad limbs brings my toward the scent of the other stallion, sentinels raises while I here him state his name and where he came from. Black Champagne was it now. I now knew that he didn't want to fight, he was king over his own land, so mind would be no use to him. The scent trail gotten stronger while now I saw the brute in my view, my strong gallop changed to a walk.

Now I stood before him, sentinels lower upon my upper broa, but not in a threating way. My nares flares once more while I took in his scent. He seemed like he came here to talk about something and that we shall. My bay mug opens while I began to speak. I'm Noel, king of Elixar Grove. What is it that you seek here Black Champagne? My tone was normal, this brute might have something good to talk about, we would find out soon enough.

BLACK CHAMPAGNE
WISE MEN WONDER WHILE STRONG MEN DIE.

This character Noel was king, was he? Hmph, some king in his book. Auditories flicked back into his tressels before his vocals released into the air stealthily. Of course you've heard of the upcoming war? he questioned roughly, voice hard and demanding. He was rather pissed off that this Chaos was trying to take over his land, so he had to be stopped. Boa arched proudly as he watched Noel with cold teal eyes, what would he think of this?

Without allowing him to speak, Black Champagne continued speaking on why he was here. And of course Hollow Woods and Taunting Marshes have formed Allies. I've come to offer an ally between Elixar Grove and Forgotton Valley. What do you say? he offered, voice a little softer then before but he was still straight down to the point.

Then a thought ran through his head, what if Chaos came to try and befriend him? Pfft, let him try, he won't make it out of the Valley in one piece. It was on his turf, so if Chaos would like to start something, he'd be ready. . .

I watched the one called Black Champagne. I notice how the brutes copper lanterns went cold toward me. Mind did as while, I wasn't going to have no brute come into my land and push me around, not today, not ever. Then as my eardrums catches his song that he told to me. But glare eased. I then knew this brute wasn't here to fight, but to become partners in war. He held a cold glare and deep tone toward me, but it wasn't pointed toward me. It was about this war. Indeed I knew about this war. My voice released toward him, Indeed I heard of the war, Black Champagne. If its allies you seek, then I would be glad to be allies with you. Maybe together we can stop the darks and take over them, besides them taking over us. My tone yet firm, but friendly.

My brain began to push thoughts around, should I tell this brute that I was thinking about having a death match with Chaos. If we did become allies and I did win the battle with Chaos. Then I knew that Yarraman couldn't take the both of us and together we could rule over the darks. I wasn't really worry about Riku, I knew that he was died already, because Chaos and Yarraman wanted him died. I let my mug open toward Black Champagne, holding the same tone as before. I'm thinking about having a death match with Chaos. If I won, I believe Yarraman wouldn't come around, with the both of us. But then again if I lost, what would they do? I wasn't sure, but I believe I could take Chaos in battle. I waited to see what Black Champagne thought of my plan.

BLACK CHAMPAGNE
SICK MASOCHISTIC LION.

Confusion twisted upon the ebon brute's facade as his brain registered everything the younger was telling him. The lights taking over the darks was light David beating Goliath, it was nearly impossible. His diaframe shook, No, we cannot do that. But, Chaos had come to Forgotton Valley to make friends with me, I think this may be the opportunity we need to single him out. the ashen brute murmured, his stance still tense and mighty. It could be the chance they were waiting for. With Chaos out of the picture, who knows what the lights could do.

But Noel challenging Chaos to a death-match? Oh, my god, that was like suicide! You're completely off your rocker, Noel! he whinnied, pawing the ground before his frame. Maybe it would be easier to go after someone much weaker. . like Riku for instance. He was a pathetic excuse for a king, cowering down like a scolded child. Maybe I should fight Chaos, Noel.

I watched the brute while he began to talked. Indeed he did tell me about Chaos coming to visit him at Forgotten Valley. But how should I know that this brute and Chaos wasn't planning nothing on me. But then again, I didn't know what I should do. My copper lanterns drifts upon my land and then landed back upon Black Champagne. I listen to the words that he spoke toward me. He did speak the truth. We need to single Chaos out. That I had to agree on him with. But his other words struck me light a angry bolt of lighting striking from the heavens.

My cerebrum lower toward the earth as I released a snort toward the earth. My copper lanterns still upon Black Champagne. My bay mug began to speak forth toward him. Indeed Black Champagne, I might be a little bit off of that right now. But the first thing that comes first is my family. I'm not just going to let Chaos step in and take them. My tones changed from normal to cocky with him. What you don't believe I can take Chaos. I believe I can make him scream like a little bitch. I let a slight smirk form upon my mug while my cerebrum rose back to its normal pose. Indeed I believe that I could take Chaos and Yarraman. Why fight anyone else. They aren't the threats to my family. I was thinking ahead and I wasn't just about to back down and to let another brute fight my battles.

BLACK CHAMPAGNE
EASY, SEABISCUIT.

;; He was silent for some time, so he dropped his cerebrum to the earth to clip at the greens lazily, teals keeping a glance on him that was both a friendly loving emotion and caught between anger and understanding. Then a thought crossed his mind, what if the border between their lands could be demolished and they could become one big land? Then his head shook, that wouldn't work, so he refocused his glance back on Noel.

;; Taking a step forward, his ebon mug brushed the other's throatlatch in a friendly nuzzle before he nudged his shoulder. Calm yourself, boy. Chaos will not touch your land, I think me and Eagle can see to that. he explained softly, tossing his head sideways. Eage was a tough little mare, he'd met her on her journey back from the breeding plains. He was lucky to have such a warrior under his name.

I watched how he lowered his cerebrum to the rich flora and began to chew between his whites while he rolled it around and over his taste buds. I could tell that he was thinking about something. It was like I could tell he was daydreaming about something here. How he found his on form of comfort here. I wonder what was in his mind. But then again, I didn't want to know what was in his mind. Then he shook the thoughts from his own mind and then began to snap around this world once more. Then I felt his friendly nuzzle upon me as then he touched my shoulder. His actions seem to confused me. I let my cerebrum move to its side while I cocked it to let him know that he was confusing me. But then his words hit me. Indeed I knew that my mare Eagle was a fine mare and she could battle and fight while. This you could look at her and tell. But it seem like this brute wasn't sure of me. I was the one that was going to fight for my land and my family. I wasn't going to leave it to my mare nor would I see to it that another brute would be fighting for it. This was my land and the only one that would be doing the fight here was me.

My cerebrum tossed into the air. My voice began to speak toward him. I'm not going to leave it up to you nor my mare to fight over my land. The only one that will be fighting over it is me. My limbs bring me another step forward toward him, my boa held at a tight arch, my harks lends forth. My voice began to speak once more toward me. Now if you don't think I cant fight over my own land. Then why are you here trying to make allies with me. If you think I'm some weak brute, you need to turn back around and cross the border and we shall not be allies. I let a second go by. Now the choice is yours Champagne. I waited to see how the brute would take this. Indeed I knew we didn't need no light on light battles. But I wasn't going to have some brute come into my lands thinking I cant protect them, because it just might be him besides Chaos. I might be a light, but I wasnt going to have none of this happening. Oh no!

[rayvencullen.]

BLACK CHAMPAGNE
SILENCE!

;; Anger crossed the tinted brute, but he ceased his temper down with a light snort and a pawing at the ground. I did not say you could not fight for your own land, stallion! Oh, what had possessed him to call him out by just plain stallion? Normally he'd call you out by your name, but this had gone way too far for his accord. Auditories slithered back into tressels as he once again eyed the brute.

;; He stepped forward, crown dipping in respect before it rose again. If you wish for me to leave without alliance, I will do so. He turned on his heels, lithe body swaying as he made his way down the leader hill with his crown held high, auds slicked back towards him to see if Noel would protest his retreat.

The day began to faded into darkness, showing that the day was over and now the dark life was going to take over my lands. It didn't seem like I spent most of the day me and him spent talking, but some how we did. Indeed I knew that it would be the best for both family to side at each other side. But I wasn't going to be put down and to me he was putting me down. I watched how his began to turn away while he control the angry that took over him. But before he turned and walked away I seen how he dipped his cerebrum in respect toward me and I did the same toward him. I noticed his hark lower while I knew that he was listening for the words that I might speak toward him. But truefully there was none to be made. He might be heir to Midnight Acres, but that doesn't mean I shall bow down to him and go running to his every move. But then again I got that feeling this brute didn't want that.

I didn't take no steps forward to him to stop him leaving and crossing back over the border. But my russet mug open while my voice was deep so he could hear me. I will be your alliance. I believe it would do good for both family's. I still stood upon my upon my hill looking downward toward him while I waited to see what he would do. The choice was his to make. Would he make the right one? We will see in time.

[rayvencullen.]

I guess this is the end. Go cliffhangers!
