Battle School: A missing defense...[II 1/2]

hearts that cry diamond tears;
spirits that walk for a thousand years;
here them calling on that darkest morning;
pulling me under, my thoughts dissapear;

Saphira moves as he moves, but she does not allow his haunches to get behind her. Such would be foolish. Instead as he lands and does his two and a half strides away, Saphira had pivoted, and in her pivot his hooves collide with the outer portion of her ribcage. Near the middle. His hooves scrape upwards across the flesh and bones, instead of with a crushing force into them. For indeed to take a full double barrel kick by a horse like Centurion would spell horrific pain for my mare. Instead she had used her agility, and massive Spanish haunches to turn away from the blow, therefore softening, and placing it differently on her ribs. Her breathing although slightly painful is not a real disadvantage. The pain instead is from the bruising under the skin, and the slight tear in the flesh from jagged hooves. Compression and extension will be painful, but expendable. Her teeth gritted, she followed into her second attack.

the siren

you can hold the darkness from you;
if the will is very strong;
but that whisper always haunts you;
cannot change the Siren's Song.
