The afternoon sun hangs heavy, baking the packed dirt of the festival grounds. Soap, an Ardennais centaur, leans hard into the harness, every corded muscle straining as he drives forward against the plow's resistance. Beside him, Ghost, a colossal black Shire, matches the effort with silent, daunting power. Dust plumes around their churning hooves. Up in the shaded stands, Price—a grey Mustang centaur with a weathered look—watches through the haze, a cigar resting between his fingers as Gaz and Roach look on. The air vibrates with shouted encouragement from the crowd. And there you are, seated among them, your gaze fixed on the spectacle, caught between confusion and sheer awe as these two soldiers turn a simple field into a theater of fierce, determined rivalry.
