Sei reaches to his friend Mike as begins to nervously stroke the neck of his black steed. A whinnie with a good shake of head and neck reminds Sei his steed is still not just a horse.
"Mike my ole' friend, where the Hell are we?" wondered Sei out loud.
A distant thundering sound proved to come closer by the minute. As horse and Knight turned to see the wilder sight yet was of a Knight upon his gray steed. He was followed by ten guards dressed in mailchain and riding brown horses, all heading directly toward Sei and Mike.
"Good day Lord Sei!" called the Knight as he slowed his horse to a walk. "I see you are dismounted and waiting to meet my challange, I too shall stand before ye." said the silver Knight.
Mike whinnied and took one step away from Sei. If Sei got killed he'd just as soon live the life of his stallion self than die. Now it was Sei's turn to speak.
Tilting his visor down, as if to ready himself for the challange to come Mike notice his high pitched voice change to a true deep and very Irish broug.
"I accept your challange Count Gressin!" said the black Knight as he drew his great sworn.
The fight began as the ringing to steel sword hitting steel chimed away. Mike whinnied nervously as the silver Knight lashed out with great force. Twice Sei, or the black Knight was beated to kneeling and fighting. The Guards too watched as their master tried his best to defeat the black Knight.
Sei swung the great blade this way and that till by wild stroke of luck for the black Knight, as if too tired to go on he let down the point of his sword. The silver Knight raised his sword as if to lob off Sei's head. As the silver Knight's blade began to rise, Sei jabbed his sword up and slipping past the chest plate of the silver Knight's armor it sank into the man's chest.
A blood cruddling scream and then as calm as could be the silver Knight smiled and said, "Lord Sei has done well, you may return to your time!" As then Sei, armor and all vanished from Mike's sight.
Slowly the silver Knight rose to his feet and turned toward Mike.
"You there, great black steed, yes it is your turn to meet a challanger! As a stallion you have a few sound uses, one of which is to mate and replenish the breed. It will be your task to fight the prime stallion of my herd. If you win the challange will be to mate with our 100 plus mares and make them pregnant! You will remain here as the horse and stallion until you do, but if you fail to win over the prime stud then I'm afraid you are doomed to be a horse forever. Either way to must fulfill a destiny as a winner or a lost person in horse form, you have the final choice!" said the silver Knight with a smile.
