Lark couldn't believe her luck when her attack landed dead on. Of course her luck changed when the grey stallion decided to turn against her. The kick from his fore hoof grazed her, it would have been far worse had he not spun around first while most of her weight was still on him, This effectively launched her away from the stallions attack and she tumbled to the ground, landing not far from Karrde.
Giving the colt a nasty glare as she got back on her feet. "Consider yourself lucky that he stopped us." She said with hatred dripped from her voice. She was no longer the happy little filly she pretended to be when she first met Karrde. No, she was showing her true colors now. Turning her attention back to the fight she was relieved to see Eacles now back on his feet. With the grey stallions attention still focused on her she would do her best to distract him while Eacles made his move. "You save one foal and attack another! How pathetic."

Tanaris couldn't believe the demonic little look and hate filled voice that came from the maw of the filly as she avoided most of his attack and got her feet close to the indigo colt who looked practically scared to death.
"I do not think you are worth sav..." Tanaris started to say though his voice trailed off into a screech of pain as Eacles curved horn drove into his thigh and was wretched free with a nasty twist by the yellow and brown stallion. Tanaris leg wobbled slightly as the injury made it hurt to hold his own weight.
"Run!" Tanaris shouted to the small colt "back to your parents!" He instructed even as he turned his attention back to Eacles - by the blue fillies desire to help the stallion Tanaris was fairly certain that she wouldn't abandon him to chase the colt down - as long as Tanaris presented enough of a threat anyways. Ignoring the pain it sent lancing through his leg Tanaris reared up and lashed out at the yellow and brown stallion as he retreated from his vcious attack.
Karrdes eyes were wide with fright as the grey stallion whirled about and sent what he'd thought was his friend flying back towards him - he'd actually taken a step foreward to see if she was all right when he caught sight of the look on her face and heard her nasty words. Karrde didn't understand...why would she be so mean to him, and why did she seem to know the murderous beast ho had chased him?
He shook his tiny head as he tried to figure it out, His thinking was interrupted however as the Grey steed shrieked in pain and then ordered him to run back to his parents - Karrde might be young and he might not have understood the entire situation but he knew a good idea when he heard one, wheeling about the young colt took off through the tree's
Eacles was still withdrawing from his initial attack when the grey stallion turned back to him with a vengeance, the battering fore hooves of the steed took Eacles in the chest driving him back several more steps as the yellow and brown reya attempted to get out of the barrage.

A wicked smile crossed Larks lips as Eacles successfully managed to gore the other stallion. Her little plan of distraction had worked. Just when she thought they would win the battle the damn grey stallion turned on Eacles again and on top of that he had the audacity to tell Karrde to run. Damnit she couldn't let the colt get away but at the same time she had to do her best to protect her mentor. If she lose him, she wouldn't know what to do with herself.
"Eacles!" She shrieked as she saw him get hit by the other stallion. Lark bend her head down and charged once more at the rear of the grey beast once more. Perhaps it would distract him enough to let Eacles get in a killing blow, perhaps not, but she had to at least try. Her horn aimed for his uninjured leg, perhaps she would get lucky enough to land a good blow.

Tanaris was glad to see his plan had worked - the little colt was swiftly disappearing on the horizon, hopefully in the direction of his missing parents - although Tanaris was tad bit busy to stop and make sure. He could only hope for the best and give the colt a good head start. His was rather pleased with himself as the wretched Reya retreated from his blows hen a shout from behind reminded him that the filly thought small could still do some damage.
Jerking his head down to ash out at Eacles with his horn..and hopefully drive him back far enough so that he could deal with the filly Tanaris kicked out at her with a hind leg, though he was ashamed to say he held back slightly - the grey stallion just couldn't bring himself to kick out at a mere foal full force - even an obviously warped little foal. He regretted this opinion a millisecond later, his kick had moved his leg enough so that the filly attempting to gore him missed her original target and drove a deep gash into his hock instead.
"Little welp!" he roared at her in a fury and in that fury turned upon her completely, wheeling about and lunching forward with the intention of knocking the little creature to the ground with his chest and momentum.
Eacles found himself having to retreat from the battering barrage the other stallion was raining down upon him, his hooves raining down on his chest and shoulders with enough force that the Reya knew he would be fairly bruised after this endeavor..but at least he wasn't bleeding yet and the Jala was - and that was enough for the typically cowardly Eacles to keep on fighting.
Jerking his muzzle back as the grey stallion slashed out with his horn Eacles barely escaped what would have been a nasty gouging as the grey turned his attention back to Lark who had apparantly scored him from the other side. This was turning out quite well as far as Eacles was concerned..two against one was a good way to fight. With the greys back turned and focused on Lark Eacles took a few steps back to get a running start and as the other stallion launched himself after Lark Eacles leap forward to intercept him in mid-air, Eacles hit the grey as he was in mid stride and off balance..right on the shoulder
Tanaris was so intent on the wretched filly that he didn't notice Eacles returning to the fight until the stallion was on top of him, the momentum from Eacles attack sent him stumbling and skidding sideways away from the filly on his knees in the grass. Tanaris was beginning to think he needed to be finding a way out of here...surely the purple colt had managed to run far enough away by now.

Lark let out a happy laugh as her horn ripped into the stallions flesh even though doing so also got her kicked. She was lucky that the stallion seemed to be holding back on her since he could easily kill her if he wanted to. His kick did land on her though not as hard as it could have been but she had managed to somewhat roll away from it so it was merely a glancing blow to the shoulder. It would likely hurt for a while but she would live.
She eyes waxed over with hatred as he yelled at her. She had heard those words before, from her own family, it stirred up a lot of old hatred and resentment towards adults. "I am no whelp!" She shouted at him. Then realized that the grey was barreling towards her and her heart skipped a beat. She didn't have much time to react before he would hit her. But luck was on her side today and Eacles came back into the fight knocking the stallion away.
She ran towards the toppled stallion with her front legs kicking out wildly. She wanted to kill him for calling her a whelp. Her anger was boiling over as she got close enough to the stallion to strike him. He would regret calling her a whelp.

Tanaris as in the process of regaining his feet when the blue filly came flying at him with flailing fore hooves, it was somewhat embarrassing to be battered about by a foal - although it wasn't like this particular foal was normal..or alone Tanaris reminded himself as her little hooves pounded away at his shoulder. If he was smart he should had done away with her when he had the chance - a bit more force behind that kick earlier and he might have done some serious damage, but he was kidding himself for even thinking such a thing, Tanaris couldn't harm a foal anymore then he could beat up a Canis pup.
Thankfully for him however ti was the foal who had reached him first, and while her strikes would no doubt leave bruises they weren't bone breaking as the other stallions might have been and Tanaris was able to counter her somewhat, throwing his weight into the shoulder she as battering with a sudden lurch to gain his feet Tanaris hoped the thrust would be enough to knock the filly of and away from him. He wasn't about to stick around and see how well the plot worked however, nearly as soon as he gained his feet the grey stallion was sprinting forward and making a desperate leap for the air, wing's swooping downwards in a valiant attempt to lift him from the ground. Tanaris did not think he would be able to fly far - despite the adrenaline of the fight he was beginning to register several wounds that would keep him laid up for weeks, he just had to get away from these two first...and then, then he could succumb to his wounds for a while

Lark continued to pound her hooves against the stallion for as long as he laid down. She hated him and he would pay for his comment. Although she knew she wasn't strong enough to really injure him she wouldn't let him get away without doing some damage. She screamed in rage as she pounded hard and harder but then the stallion suddenly pushed his weight back against her. She wasn't ready to counter that move.
The movement sent her toppling backwards. She rolled on the ground trying to get to her feet but she was a bit tired form all this fighting. "Get him Eacles!" She shouted as the grey stallion began to make his escape. He couldn't get away that easily she though, he was badly injured and even if he did flee he wouldn't get far. They could hunt him down.

Eacles didn't pause to see if Lark was alright after the stallion shoved her , by the tone in her voice as she urged him on he could guess that she was and flattening his ears Eacles redoubled his efforts to make it to Tanaris in time, although striking Tanais in the shoulder had knocked the beast to the ground it had also knocked Eacles off track and after throwing Lark off of him thegrey steed had a decent chance of escape.
Well...we can't have that Eacles thought to himself as he sped after the escaping stallion, throwing himself upwards with teeth snapping as the Jala leapt into the air. All he managed to get for his troubles however was a mouthful of feathers and although his weight caused the Jala to wobble he was forced to let go as the greys hind leg lashed out at him. Landing heavily on the ground Eacles looked up to see the Jala beating a hasty...if somewhat faltering retreat.
Eacles cursed to himself before turning about to check on Lark - there really wasn't much point in flying after the Jala, he had to much of a head start t the moment...but they would certainly hunt him down later.
"Wretched beast!..no matter, theres only one reason a stallion like that would be wandering about this area of the Valley anyways, he was probably headin to the fruitlands...we'll just patrol the routes there and make sure he never gets to whatever spawn he's tring to get too now won't we?" He asked Lark though it was more of a statement then a question, he didn't bother asking if she was injured, he merely expected her to suck it up like he was.
Tanaris nearly feel back to the ground when the stallion latched onto his wing, a painful wretch to his wing joint had caused his flight to wobble and only a hastily swung hind leg had kept him from being pulled back to the ground.
Making large swoops with his wings Tanaris gained height and struck out in a faltering line for the cover of the cloud bank and from there the forest where he could lay up for a while and do a real assessment of his wounds.

Lark managed to get to her feet but she was very sore and quite tire. The fire of anger was still in her eyes though. "Yes those wretched foals will never know their father." She replied as she moved closer to Eacles. A slight limp in her walk told of the damage she received from the stallions kick to her shoulder, but it could have been worse, much worse. In fact if he hadn't have held back he could have easily killed her.
Her eyes moved to the sky to watch the stallions escape. He certainly would get far in that condition. They would be able to track him down soon enough. She turned her attention back to Eacles but really didn't have anything to say. Their plan had been working so well until that blasted stallion showed up and now that stupid foal Karrde was surely back with his parents. Her tail swished around in frustration.

Eacles snorted slightly in agreement as Lark joined him, and like him still seemed to be seething with anger. They had a goodly reason to be upset from his point of view, their plan of revenge on Esterlina had been going well..the little colt would have certainly perished at their hooves had not that interloper showed up.
"At least we gave him a good beating" Eacles told the blue filly as they headed off, it wasn't much of a consolation, but it was something. The two wouldn't go far - indeed Eacles started off in the direction of the fruitlands, if the injured jala attempted to travel there he and Lark would be waiting for him. Both o their strides were a bit off as they went...and both of them would be sore for a while but Eacles was certain that they had given better then they had got in this case. He would count it as a victory he decided.
