Description +4 tier, +10 WG for Tobias


I've been wanting to do this drawing since Toby lost in the first round, but I didn't have time, and then I lost motivation, and then I figured it was past time that we could post them since the third round had ended. But with the poll stating we could upload until the winning journal came out I figured I should throw it in.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ruaridh was stronger than Tobias was fast. He could escape some of the older stallion's attacks and was able to sneak in a few of his own, but in the end Ruaridh's size and experience proved too much for the youngling. His determination allowed him to hang on for a while, suffering multiple cuts and bruises, but with one last advance the fjord mix was able to back him down. Tobias was forced to the ground by Ruaridh's huge hooves, and when he was finally allowed to stand he knew he had lost. He was heaving, foam dripping from his chest and blood running from his nose and the gash on his cheek.

Shame and anger raced through him. He was not good enough to best this stallion, so could he best a soldier of the Olde herd? Earlier he would have told you with all certainty that he could, but now he wasn't so sure, and it ate at him - a heavy feeling settling that sat in his stomach. He struggled to his hooves, making sure not to face Ruaridh again. He would not give his opponent the joy of seeing the exhaustion on his face. But as he stood, head hanging and legs slightly shaking, he could feel the older stallion smirking at him. He knew he was thinking that he had successfully put this unruly colt in his place, but Tobias would make sure that he wouldn't think that for long. He would show him one day.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Toby, as with everything, took the sparring a little too seriously. But don't worry. I'm sure he rested up and stubbornly went to fight the Olde Herd anyway. And Ru, you better watch out. You've got a target on your back now.
