Description Karrion did not place, unfortunately

I'm participating in *Maeix2 'sGreen Grass Event , which has a treasure hunt/trail ride and a freestyle event. This is Karrion's entry for the treasure hunt.

Horse: Karrionyte
Rider: Nathan Lassar
Breed: Pure Disturbed Nightmare
Class: Treasure Trail

Karrion was full of energy. He liked being out on the trail away from the stables and the other horses, where he had to behave. Nathan was having a difficult time keeping the massive stallion from chasing the local animals, but he managed to keep them on course by checking his map religiously.

They were aiming to search for one of the metal stars near the marshes, which Nathan had guessed would be clear of other riders due to the danger of Dire wolves — and sure enough, they seemed to be alone. Finding a star took over an hour, but eventually Nathan spotted one. He had barely remounted his Nightmare steed when a snarl sounded behind them. Without waiting for directions from his rider, Karrion spun on his haunches, eyes flashing.

The wolf was less than ten metres away, teeth bared in ferocious growl. Karrion answered with a toothy grin of his own, and flicked out his long tongue like a huge, demented snake. Toxic sludge dripped from his predatory jaws, and his three orbs spun around him in a frenzied dance of menace. The wolf no longer looked so confident. Dire wolves were big...Karrion was bigger.

Nathan thanked his lucky stars that he had decided against using the muzzle strap today. With the wolf keeping its distance, they were safe for the moment, but he wasn't sure how they were going to get away. Karrion, however, had plans of his own.

Karrion lunged at the wolf, his first stride taking him four metres at least. He sent his deadly orbs ahead of him, straight towards the enemy. Nathan yelped and clutched the reins one handed, trying to keep his hold on their treasure, as the stallion plunged towards his quarry with teeth bared and toxin-coated tongue reaching out to snare whatever flesh it could.

The wolf had seen enough. He turned tail and ran. Karrion pursued him for a while, ignoring his rider's pleas, but Nathan eventually managed to stop the rowdy mount and get them back on track.

It had been a long evening, but a successful one. After all, they now had their first treasure.
