Don't get me wrong, but...
Private roleplay between Arturo and Tamera before objective IV
Tamera|knight|Olde
It was now midday and most of the herd was grazing nearby. It has been a while since things were a bit peaceful to say the least. Things didn’t help with the coming of war. Tamera was strong on the outside but she still hated to see any Bachelor stallions and she knew sooner or later she would have to face them after escaping not so long ago, to her it only seems like a few months has past not many years. She stumbled out her thoughts as she shook her head from side to side and ultimately sighing under breath.
It seems in these few years after she joined the Olde and became a Knight there were now more mares joining the ranks while few more stallions had taken up the spots. Tamera knew that begin in this rank would also have its bad side like begin judge for your gender as most say a mare is too weak to be a knight. Others still look at her intimidated like when she first came here to the Odle. The mare always try to not mind those who speak bad about her yet her temperament doesn’t help her.
“I do like it when things are quiet but this silence is a bit too unnerving...Now where did the other Knights go? they better be not slacking off.” She mumbled as she walked around looking for the others. (WC: 237)
Arturo
As the whole herd had settled now close around the Silver forest, Arturo had another need to improve on his strenght. He walked along the forest border, to look out for a suitable tree to either push over or to move one. He trotted along the line of trees, slightly sweating as the autumn sun was warming up the area unusually for the time of year. His coat shimmered dark and he suddenly stopped at one tree and studied it. It was already an ill one, not easy to push over, but doable. He put all his weight on his back legs, breathed in deeply and rammed his body against the tree’s trunk. With his chest he pushed at the tree, his back hooves digging into the dirt. He wasn’t the strongest and the strength of some Bachelor stallions was intimidating. Regarding this, he had the need to train on his strength, even through the efforts might be useless in respect of the strength of some of the Bachelor horses.
Groaning Arturo pushed his weight into the trunk and finally his feet slipped away and he pulled back, barely keeping himself on his four feet. He couldn’t make it. He wasn’t strong enough. Desperate and heavily breathing he was staring at the bald tree. Slowly anger crept up his neck and out of sudden fury he slammed his front leg against the tree, rearing and hacking at it again with both front hooves. Just as suddenly as his fit had come up, he stopped it and he dropped his head. Pumping even more. Angrily he flicked his tail. How was he supposed to make it through war and to protect his herd and to defeat the Bachelors like this? Now that it was certain that they would seek out for the Bachelors.
There were no other thoughts than those lately. He was thinking of nothing else, like a maniac he trained and his thoughts circled around the war and the Bachelors and the horses they would encounter. He just had received his ability of strategy but it was fairly useless right now, as he hadn’t figured out anything about it.
//WC 360
Tamera
Nearby Tamera heard the sound of kicking and thrashing into what sounded like hitting a tree trunk. A few minutes walk she saw a horse coming into her line of view, the horse seemed to be one of those big kind. Tamera squinted her eyes to see who it was and from the looks of it she could tell it was one of the knights.What was he doing over there by himself, he looks as if he was angry with his body language as to what Tamera observed from afar. She might as well come over since she spotted him either way. As she made her way over to him she tilted her head and took in a few deep breath.
“Hey,what are you doing out here Arturo? are you training or something?” She asked trying to not sound too blunt and rude. She been known to soften her tone when it come to others who has their job a lot longer then she has. (Done)
Arturo
Hearing the faint rustling of leaves and grass, Arturo flicked one ear into the direction of an approaching horse. He sighed, what a perfect moment to be seen. He didn’t like it that someone would find him like this, all angry and emotional. His body was aching from the physical effort and the sudden range he had gone through, his heart was slowly going back to a normal pace, just as his breathing.
He gathered himself and stood straight again, turning his head towards the mare that was approaching. It was Tamera, a mare knight. He nodded towards her to greet her. Arturo raised a brow by her question but held back the anger that was still crawling along his spine. “Hello Tamera, yes I was training. Something ALL knights should do right now.”
He narrowed his eyes, he didn’t like to admit it, but he was very unhappy that his herd’s knight ranks had been overtaken by mares lately. Apparently it made him quite uneasy. As he mustered Tamera his fears were raising even higher. She was a large mare, almost a hand taller than him but she was very slim and lean, typical full blooded body type. Within a short glimpse he imagined her being crushed by the Bachelors 19 hands tall red roan draft stallion. His worries flared up like a fierce infection, he was going crazy.
He shook his head to get rid of the thought, but it still lingered around his head like a cloud of smog. Suddenly it took him again, this stupid urge he had. “Tamera, may I ask you a personal question.” He waited for her reply but decided that he would rather keep going on with his question. “How come you are a knight? Please forgive me the blunt question, but you seem like a runner type for scouting. What will you do, when we march against the Bachelor STALLIONS?” Oh, just after the words had escaped his mouth, he knew he had gotten himself into something bad. He mustered Tamera and made a step backwards and his neck hair started to raise a little bit. He should have kept his mouth.
//WC 361
Tamera
“True to bones, Arturo. I was just making the round real quick before stopping to find a place to train until i heard you from a few ways back.” She had heard off the stallions sense of righteousness and also how he tends have a beliefs about how mares would be suited to take care of the elderly and foals.
To Tamera Arturo reminder her of the Bachelors stallions back in her birth herd though his temperament was way different then them but the sight of him big a big brute made her a bit uneasy.
“Yes you may I do not m-” She answered half way as he went on to asked another question. She looked back at him wondering what he wanted to asked her but it was about her becoming a Knight. What struck her as to why he would ask such a thing , even though she heard rumors of him offending mares about this what was the reason he wanted to know? Then as he went on sounding as if he was insulting her just because she was a mare. Just because she was a mare that doesn’t mean she couldn’t hold her own depending the type of stallion she was up against. She was starting to feel her blood boil with every single word that came out of his mouth. Tamera’s face started to look like as if she was restraining herself but at last it was a futile attempt.
"Are you implying all mares ARE WEAK?!” her tone starting to rise with each of her words escaping her mouth and she pounded her right hoof down to the ground.
“WHAT WILL I DO IF I WAS UP AGAINST A BACHELOR STALLION YOU ASK? WELL LET ME TELL YOU I WOULD KICK THE STALLION RIGHT IN HIS FACE AND BREAK HIS SORRY BUTT EXCUSE OF A JAW!!”
as she is now shouting at the stallion , she extended her neck and body close to him with anger in her eyes. The mare was furious at the mention of her begin weak, she just lost it. Throughout the years of her life she grew up in the Bachelor herd it was her birth herd. She used to fear most of them mainly the one that she ended kicking in the face and blinding the stallion in the eye.
As fast as she was at raising her voice she soon snapped out of her short furious state of mind. The look that stallion gave off as he backed up and his ears are backwards made her instantly knew she lashed out at him like she did a few times before at other herd members. Tamera blinked several times and started to withdraw back and looked to the side averting her gaze at him. She shifted her legs and pawed at the ground while sawing her tail from side to side in an uncomfortable way.
“you should ask in a way that makes it sound like an insult towards the opposite gender...this is what happens if you do…Beside its not like I was born here like you did...I-I escaped from the bachelor herd.” (Done)
Arturo
He was plain stupid, he was regretting his stupid babble already. He let his worries consume him and eat his mind and wits, why did he do it again. He had insulted mares several times like this and he always felt sorry later and he knew how it would end. Oh he deserved a kick into his sorry ass as well.
He tried to babble something like a sorry, but Tamera just cut him out and shouted at him. Arturo’s body language changed into a submissive posture, his tail tucked in an his ears hanging low to each side and his neck lowered with every word. He backed up slightly, not too much, he wouldn’t want her to give another reason to shout at him for being a wimp but he was absolutely not good at talking himself out of such a situation. He was stereotypical better with muscles than with wits and he knew it himself and he would not dare to get into a fight with her.
When Tamera calmed down a bit he loosed his posture and his ears slowly went forward again, but he was still careful, trying not to act too quickly to set her off again. Oh when it came to physical fights he was so brave, but situations like this, he was helpless.
“I-I’m sorry Tamera.” he tried to look at her but decided to look somewhere else again, when he saw another flicker of anger through her eyes. When she told him about the Bachelors he felt bad. He had thrown salt into her wound while she hadn’t expected it and it was not in his position to question her strength or ability as a knight. But as he had lost his mother so early and being raised by his father and kept at a short leash, he never had a chance to learn how strongs mares actually were. Maybe stallions had more physical strength but mares had sharp wits, big hearts and quick hooves to shoot exact kicks into their foes. No stallion was as precise as a mare when it came to kicking, like they had the perfect sense of where the bones and fragile spots where, to harm their enemies.
“I know I am sorry. I don’t know why I keep doing this, it sits so deep” he frowned at her. “I didn’t knew, that you had grown up in a Bachelor herd.” it did not help to feel sorry, but he didn’t knew how to fix the situation either. Being a mare in the Bachelor herd was awful, disgraceful and full of terror. But how could he know, only by stories, through a little anger prickled up again against the Bachelors. They destroyed so many lives, if they would lose against the Bachelors, what would happen to their mares? He stared at Tamera and mustered her. They have made her what she is today and it would have been different for her if she had grown up in the safety of the Olde herd. Yes, they had to be stopped. He hated the Bachelors, seeing what pain they were causing.
“Tamera, I don’t know how to fix this and I am bad with words, so I rather keep my mouth shut from now on. But I would like to make it right. If you ever would like to train or something… I would be glad to help you, in fact it might help me aswell.” His eyes had shifted from the grass to their hooves, back to her eyes and again on the ground. He didn’t knew how she would take it and if she would understand it as an apology.
// WC 613
Tamera
The mare let out a sigh as she noticed how his voice somewhat lost if curious tone and reverted to a submissive tone due to her snapping at the poor stallion.
"Its...alright Arturo I-I just wasn't expecting your question to sound like that is all." she looked up at him with a grumpy face unintentionally. This tend to cause her to me misread by others all the time since her facial expression mask her real feelings.
She let out a slight laugh when he mention that he doesn't know why he keeps doing what he has done many time with other mares. The stallions face changed from time to time when he contemplated as she watch him with such amusement to her own. What was he thinking? was he thinking about how the Bachelors were brutes and he hated the way they treated mare? Heck most Olde shun what that herd upheld its standards as mare were nothing but broods. To her it not much of a surprise, sure it was hell but that how those idiotic males knew how to live begin butchered into their head that mares were nothing but tools and breeding purposes for them. What else did they know beside begin barbarians?
"Most only heard rumors about me begin in the bachelor but I'm guessing most knew that the rumors were true none the less. I'm a bit surprised you didn't know, I was saved by our king he granted me acceptance into the herd while I escaped on to the island..." she was looking nothing in particular as if she was remembering that day as she told the stallion.
The mare smirked as his invitation to train was like a blessing gift in disguised.The offer wasn't bad she did need to let out all the pent up anger while testing her skills against a big stallion. Though it has been a while since she had spar or be up against an opponent who weighs more then herself.
"Alright I'll take that offer of yours as an invitation to some sparing.Though just treat me like an opponent you hear and not just a mare or else you will be insulting me." She let out a laugh.

He was grateful, Tamera seemed to be less tense and seemed to accept his offer. As she agreed to his suggestion, he felt a great relieve. Though he was a bit reserved, he never had sparred against a mare and he was uncertain how he should work this out. Could she actually take the blows? But she also had to learn it anyway, if she hadn’t already.
Arturo bowed his head slightly, “Thank you Tamera, I will try to treat you, just as any other stallion I sparred before, but it will be a challenge for me.” He watched her, as his words came out of his mouth. Inside, he hoped her to be a fierce fighter.
He pawed the ground and tossed his head. “Shall we begin?” His eyes had a sudden glister and his lips formed into a smile full with anticipation. His body tensed and just with the promise of a fight, his blood started to prickle through his veins and excitement flushed over his spine. He circled around Tamera and snapped playfully into her direction. He was certainly heavier, more muscle and more strenght. Tamera on the other hand was large and lean, probably pretty quick and she had a good reach. Arturo settled on waiting for her, for the first attack. He wanted her to decide, how strong they would go. Maybe she had just a angry mask, but wasn’t a fighter after all. He backed off a bit, but stepped right into her line to reach for him. He was excited and also uncertain of the way this would go. Could he bring all his force on her? No, he would not, but he also wouldn’t let her win, just for being a mare.

"The challenge is what makes it more intresting to spar is it not Arturo?" the mare replied a curl form to the side as she smirked at the stallion.
"Yeah let go!" she replied in a more playful tone. She kept her eyes on the Arturo as he circled arounded her as if he was assessing her body structure, trying to find any weak spot she had and attack from there. She hoped he would spar with her with his full might instead of holding back. In a real battle their opponents would never let them have the upper hand it was a matter of life and death not child's play.
After what seems like minutes she took i upon herself to make the first move, taking Arturo's movments as a signal to start first. The next moment Tamera moved her self towards Arturo's chin and slamed her head on his chin while bucking in case he were to try and use his front legs to fight her off. "In battle one shoud never let your oponets go first, I told you this is not just a sparing is a pratice for you to have the want to kill your opponet.As I assure you they will want to kill you if you hesitate Arturo." the mare spoke as she lunched her self to the side of him trying to stear clear from his muscular legs, if she got caught by them she would be in serious trouble. The stallion was a brute with strenght to match his looks and one direct hit to hinder her from lasting long in the battle. She took quickly observed his body language trying too predict what the male might do next.

As Arturo watched Tamera, steadily moving his weight on all fours, prepared for her first blow, he thought she might strike with her hooves first. He had been wrong, with a suprise, he stumbled backwards as Tamera rushed with a low headset towards him and slammed her head into his jaw. With a clack his teeth crashed together and a stinging pain filled his head. He shook his head a furrowed his brows, if he would have been more attentive on her, he could have seen it coming. She wanted to proof herself to him, showing him that she was a strong knight, that she might be better than him.
Arturo grunted, "safe your speeches for the rooks." with her smartass talk, she wasn't going to win herself browny points. Being all muscle, others often estimated him slow but strong, well he was strong but also very quick in his movements. He had made sure to train his agility, to be super quick in various maneuvers that were helpful in a fight. As she jumped to his side, Arturo put all his weight on his hind legs, turning 90° in a quick move and directly jumping out with a quick stride. He smacked into her shoulder with his whole weight, pressing against her and grabbing her withers with his teeth. As he hold her, he shoved his weight grunting onto her with his hind legs, trying to wrestle her down on her knees, pawing at her front legs to make them buckle under the pressure. The might know that he had strength, but underestimating his agility was a big mistake. Arturo never had been great at dealing out blows with his hooves, he liked to bring down a horse with his body, his weight and all the mean tricks that made their legs break away under them.

Her small triumph look only lasted for a second after she had lecture him even though the male was obviously a higher rank Knight then she was.
"Yeah, Yeah I'm just reminding you thats all!" She scoffted at the stallion. She always enjoying provoking her oponets it was a bad habits of her, then again if she wasn't like that she wouldn't be Tamera. Her attituide change in an instint as she felt pain on her shoulder. In a flash Arturo had slam himself into her and grabed her wither with his teeth. She knew he was trying to topple her down so her knees would bow down to the ground. As the stallion pawed at her front legs her instinct took over and she tried to use her front legs to hold onto Arturo's front legs. The next think she knew before she even processed her mind was that her teeth has dug its way into Arturo's left forearm as she tried to tear the flesh away from its place in an attempt to free herself from his grasp. Her continuation of gnawing and pulling on his forearm would make him let go of her soon or later. Pain on her wither was nothing compared to begin injured on one's legs.
"see how you like that!" she yelled still having her teeth on the stallion's skin. If one were to see her stance and the way she was biting him they would mistake the mare for a wolf. She had her teeth on him tightly and she wasn't about to let go. She wanted him to see that just cause he might have been unexpgectabilly swift and has brute strength she can still hold her own against him. She hated looking weak in front of other and how their eye seemed to pierced into chained up heart.

Arturo immediately loosened his grip on her wither, when she suddenly snapped into his forearm and pulled on his muscles and skin. As she mumbled at him with his flesh in her mouth, he gritted his teeth but snorted out laughing but immediately she pressed down harder and Arturo yelled protesting and his hindlegs dug deeper into the dirt as he pushed himself more and more against her. The wrestling wasn't going to a good end, as his leg started to get numb and fine lines of blood trailed in between Tamera's teeth. He pushed himself away from her and used his movement, to crash his front hoof and leg onto her nape, to make her let go of his leg. "Let go of me!" He grunted and additionally snapped towards her black ear. It really started to hurt, those mares... they were monsterous sometimes!

Tamera tasted blood tricked into her mouth as her teeth grinded at the stallions leg. Next thing she knew she felt pain at her nape as a force hit her. She heared Arturo yelled to let him go. Great she went a bit overboard again, it seems to happen so often lately, she can't control herself. She knew his legs was starting to get numb and if things continued like this she might even end up damaging his leg wthout meaning too. As an extra mesaure it seemed to have been so painful for Arturo that he bit her black ear. Her eyes were wide from shock, not much ever trried to bite her on her ear to make her let go. It was a delicate spot one of the few places on her body that were soft. In an instance she let go of him not due to the pain but more of shock as she let herself go once again. There seems to be something else inside her making her feel all this lust of blood and determination to not lose to anyone.
She took a step back from him and panted, soon feeling ache all over her body. the adrenline must have started to fade when she snapped out of her mode. The mare winced and bit her lower lip. "S-sorry..." was all she manage to say as she let her hair cover her whole face trying to hide her uncomposed face from the stallion. Its been so long since she fought a big stallion who had the strength and agility at the same time.

Once she flinched back and let go of him, Arturo could see the confusion in her eyes. Somehow she wasn't just fighting him, but also her inner self. Tamera was a fierce fighter and determined to the cause, he had to give that to her, even if she overdid it a bit. Her hair all tangled, hanging lazy over her face and the fur on her wither was all curled and twisted from his grip. He had to smile at her, he never had expected her to go full force on him, but it had been his own fault by angering her in the first place.
A little breeze whirled through their mane hair, making Tameras white and black streaked hair dance around her face, as she opened her lips and whispered a sorry at Arturo. Grinning like the Cheshire Cat, he looked at Tamera. "Ha, I don't mind. You are a fierce fighter! Never expected you to go THIS strong." He looked down at his aching leg, the bleeding hadn't been hard, just the muscles hurt quite a lot. He already felt a tickling under his skin, his body already started to heal his wounds. His gift wasn't strong yet, but small wounds healed much faster than they used to in the past. "It will be healed soon." he smiled and shook his body, his ears flicking forward to Tamera again. "You certainly proofed that mares can be great knights. Once we go to war to the Bachelors, you will certainly kick some asses. I hope you don't go there to get revenge on someone personally..." Arturo wondered suddenly, range and personal ambitions where something, a group didn't need in a battle, they had to fight for their cause and not for personal intrests.

After reganing her composer Tamera shooker her head to lossen her hair as it was hanging all over the place.Some she even tried to blow it but wasn't succesful.Arturo was strong what else could she expect. She did tell him to not back down or place nice with her. Though she did get a bit out of hand thankfully he was strong enough to make her calm down afterwards.
"Well I-I tend to get it out of control when I get to excited or its triggered by anger...It was not professional of me as a Knight to act like that.Though thank you for the compliment " Her last words were barley heared as a deep blush crept over her face,due to her having a bald face marking. After averting her eye from Arturo she noticed his wound was healing a bit fast as she caught her self looking at it in amazement. "huh is that your gift ability Arturo?" She asked curiously tilting her head to the side as her hair floped to cover one of her eyes.
She chuckled at Arturo praising mare can be Knights and they were worth it to kick so asses. "Well I just hope I don't get inmurse in my blood lust tendencies and end up fighting in a too ruthless way whether they are enemy or someone I want to kill..." The mare stared off into the distance with no emotion on her face.It was as if she was part of herself, she would occasionally catch how moody she could get one momment. It must have been due to begin harassed by the stallion back at the bachelor that caused her to have an almost bi polar personality even though she was in controll half of the time. "If I did let those feeling in the way I might as well just lost on the battlefield, isn't that right? Though i really woould have prefered that we just went to battle then have to duke it out with another her member before we are allowed to go..."

As Tamera realized his fast healing he smirked and nodded, „Yes I’ve visited the witch lately and she discovered my gift of flesh regeneration. I think it will certainly become helpful when we march to the Bachelor grounds. I am not able to heal big wounds, but at least my healing is faster now, I have to work on it a bit on it and mastered it only a litte. I don’t like to cut myself, just to heal again, but that’s what it takes I guess to improve my gift.“ he looked down on his leg, how the skin slowly closed with a paper thin layer.
Arturo watched the mare, he seldom advised horses as he had nothing to advise about, except for knight skill, there he could provide insight. „Well I think at least you see were your problems lie, you should focus on them and work on it. Even in a real battle, blind fury can be dangerous. You have to breath, feeling your opponent if he is weakening and what his next movement will be. Watch his body language, try to feel his emotions and energy, try to feel what he will do next. Don’t just go blindly into rage and hope that your anger will help you to overcome a strong opponent, you have to use your mind as well.“ Arturo stood straight and mustered her, she was emotion driven and she knew it and she knew that it might come into her way on the battle field. She wasn’t confident about her skills yet. „Yes a sparring would be good, on the other hand, Vasska will need every single individual to overpower the Bachelors.“ He turned his head and gazed up the soft hills, beyond them lay the sea and then the Bachelor lands, Arturo wondered how Vasska would manage to pass the sea as the land bridge broke. „Would you like to train a bit? We could work on your senses, on your ability to read someones body language and to feel a movement coming.“ He tilted his head in interest.

"Oh so you have visted her recently as well? Thats is an advantage to have a gift like that! At least that means small wound won't tired you out as easily then. Least yours work normally, mine won't work at all at the moment unless there is a thunderstorm, I want to pratice as well but currently there is no rain and thunderclouds..." Her last words made her pout a bit seeming to forget she was with another who she wasn't so close with. Maybe his personality or pressence makes her feel comfortable enough to show a bit of her true colors? The wound she inflicted on Arturo was nearly healed completly expect for a small paper thin layer was still present.
She took in Arturo advisedment as she listen to him intenlley. She may be hot headed but she does listen when it comes to anything regarding Knights,She knew her flaws but it as easy said then done. How coud she try and mangae herself when she herself is triggered by an emotional state. "I know how to observed ones body language and all its a matter of how I can keep myself from sliping into my rage. I know ones supose to have both brains and brawns just when your emotional state is too heighten its hard to lower it down, have that happen to you?" She tilted her head and looked at Arturo with a furrowed expression.
"True I wouldn't have mind if we were sparring with other knights but I heared rumors there are followers in the fray as well in the match. Beside for as far as I know I've been like this nealy all my life and as some say you can't change in one day or as our circumstance a week." the mare's expression were serious as she spoke out her insicurites, looking over to the soft hill where arturo's eyes landed towards, where just beyond those are the sea that separate them from her homeland she once knew so well of. Tamera let out a chuckle and looked back over to Arturo as he offered to train more and help her work on her flaws. "I can't belive I am shoving my pride else where but why not this time, maybe you can help me tame a small bit of rage inside me?" She smirk from one side to the other. Now it seems as if she was going to be taking some pointers from Arturo, never in her mind would she thought that one of the Knights wants to help her. She been on her own as far as she could rememer, never once did anyone helped her. Has her wall finally started to crumble breaking by the minutes by those who take their time to try and deal with her? or was it just nesseary as the war was coming soon?

„So your gift needs… rain? Thunder? Or flash light? What’s your gift?“ He wondered if she probably manipulated water? He had seen Vasska, frosting water into little spikes and such. He knew of Obscuras visions that were her gift and Evalynn was able to spark little flames out of nothing. The knights and mages were training hard on their skills and on their magical gifts, to hopefully overpower the Bachelors in battle.
She was well aware of herself, Arturo liked that about her a lot, she was honest about it and to her self. „Yes it had happened to me too in my younger years. It’s over 15 years ago, I was in a bad emotional state and I felt so much range and I had no one to guide me. I lashed out at another herd member in a wild fight, without any reason.“ He remembered his fight with Marius well and till today he didn’t know how to behave around him, they both scarred each other.
„He wants to place the followers into battle as well? What for? To pile up bodies before us?“ Suddenly Arturo felt sorrow but also anger. Vasska was his king, he followed him everywere, but that was just plain insane. He furrowed his forehead. If they wanted to win this fight, they had to train more, so much more. Arturo turned his eyes back to Tamera and nodded. „It’s true, you can’t change in a day, but you can set goals. You won’t learn how to keep your emotions back, but you will learn how to channel them well. How to hold them back, to place them in the right moment.“
He smiled as she accepted his offer, „I would love to…“ he replied to her with a soft bow of his head.
Arturo took back some steps and eyed her up. He had to trigger her anger once more, so she could learn how to channel the emotion. „If you feel your emotions boil up, start to breath. Imagine a tunnel of energy, imagine that you are breathing your anger into that tunnel that turns all that anger or hate into energy. Make it your strength, rather than your weakness. Feed off your emotions as fuel for your muscles and brain, so it won’t cloud your mind.“ He took back one final step. He had to anger her, but how? He didn’t wanted to hurt her feelings but there was no way around it.
With a serious expression and a proud, puffy breast he stared into her. „Tamera… if you can’t guide your emotions, you won’t be better then any of the Bachelor brutes. They come with rage and brutality. Do you think you can show them better? Are you even able to over come it? Show me…“ He lowered his neck, awaiting her next step.

"My gift is Electricity Manipulation, at the level I'm at I can only work on it when there happens to be a thunderstorm here on the Island. I'm not at a level where I can create spark outside of a storm..." Tamera pouted with her returning grumpy facial expression. She saw others begin able to work on their gift like one of the Knight mare was able to make spark of fire from thin air once at training.
She enjoyed how Arturo was kind even when she was begin such a difficult type of personality to deal with. He wasn't the type to just leave her with her problems but actually tried to help her instead. She perked her ears foward as she listen to his story about how he ended up with a similar emotional state as she was now. She nodded time and time again as she listen intesnly at his words. Letting out a sigh the mare agreed and told him about how she does that so often around the herd when she first came to Olde. " Its good how you are able to keep your mind more clearer this way Arturo." she added.
"Thats right, sadly I have no idea what he was planing involving the followers into the match..." She spoke with uncertiany , she often never doubted Vasska's judgment eventhough he had his own flaws, every horse is never perfect even a king. Tamera looked backed at Arturo as he explain that one can simply learn to channel that rage and learn to use it at the correct moment.
Tamera ready herself for Arturo's attempts to trigger her rage right before he gave her advice on how to deal with it once it surfaces beneath her skin boiling. The mare closed her eyes for a brief moment as she inhaled the fresh scent of grass taking in the stallions words as she nooded slightly to him giving him the signal that she understood what he was trying to get her to learn. After controling her breathing she slowly open her eyes and looked dead serious at Arturo. "I know that look Arturo, feel free to make hurtful comments there is no way around that cause your teaching me to control my anger and rage." she said in a lower voice giving him a serious smile.
"I don't have a choice I have to over come this or else I am just as those lowly bunch of idiots." She replied back at him snorting as she felt her blood begining to bold slowly and steadly as she was reminded of the time when the Bachelor males trearted her badly. Brows started to scrunch together as the scene flash before her eyes those cruel and unforgiving times that they beat her sensely for entertainment reasons. How was she going to fight Artuto while thinking of these thoughts and feelings? She tried to start off by catching him off guard with her speed once again but this time she knew he had known this style of her fighting. What will he do next as Tamera tried to apply those words he mentions just moments ago so they can become her energy and help her overcome this sparing?

Arturo watched her muscles, how they contracted under her skin and relaxed again. He tried to read her next movement and as he expected, she tried to get him with speed. Arturo jumped to the other side and bumped right into her hindquarters, pushing her around with his weight. He stared right into her eyes, hurting others was not his style and he didn’t knew a thing about her history, so he tried to tease her. “Don’t you think Klaus would be happy to get one of his broods back. Especially as it just slipped his hooves and ran away? And what if he catches you? Would he then be proud that he gained control once again over you and your body?”
He backed away, waiting for her next attack, watching her expression and reading what might be happening in her mind. Clouds were slowly starting to cover the sky and the sun and a crisp breeze suddenly blew up, right behind Arturo and twirling around his long mane hair. His body automatically raised some hair to keep the warmth of his body close. He patiently waited, breathing slowly and consciously. If Tamera would be able to channel her anger into power, she would be able to show the herd what a talented knight she was.

"tch, yeah right he just consider me as an annoying brood who left for the Olde!" She spat at the stallion, she knew he was a kind-hearted big guy but he was trying to help her with her rage and anger so of course this was suppose to get under her skin, especially mentioning Klaus was a bad idea. The Knight like many others have never known the relationship between Tamera and the leader of the Bachelor, they use to be childhood friends and use to be such an important friend to Tamera...until and event wedge them apart as other toppled upon the next one as they grew older.
"Ha I didn't even slipped away from him, he just couldn't catch me after I ran from another bachelor male." her voice started to become a low rumble as her blood was beginning to boil again she could feel how warmth through her body again.
The last sentence seem to make her snap as Arturo mention about how Klaus would be proud of gaining control over her mentally and physically. The slight breeze and clouds covering the sky blew behind the stallion and the mare snorted with anger as she tried to stay conscious enough for her to channel her anger throughout her body.'use that anger Tamera and make it into your strength' she repentant herself as she locked her eyes with his. In that one moment she moved her right leg slightly in the opposite direction hoping to use that as a decoy knowing Arturo would try and read her moves as her whole body moved in the opposing direction. She might not have as much strength as he did, but she has got it backed up with her speed and flexibility. She was determine to overcome this however long it might takes...
