Moonspear ring of fire

It would never not surprise Dragomir how powerful the youths of Moonspear were. They came from good stock—so did he, but only in his sire line. The blood of the likes of Gavriel, Thuringwethil and Vercingetorix coursed through his veins, as well, and all of them were powerhouses. He, too, would grow to embody their strength, but there'd been many setbacks along his path, putting him on par with Antares when he should have been superior by age alone.

If he really wanted to win, then Dragomir might be able to use his greater size to his advantage, but he was enjoying the game. He wanted to show Hydra what he could do, but he also wanted to continue engaging Antares in a friendly competition. So when the younger pup hauled and began turning his momentum, Dragomir slackened his grip a little and allowed himself to be led, playing the part of struggling adversary for a little while before planting his hind feet and shaking his head side-to-side.
