Round Two

You're running. You can see that you're getting closer, but not quite there. You can feel the pull between you and this egg, and it makes you push even harder to go faster. However, you can feel the ground starting to shake beneath you, shake and then split. It is as if the earth is attempting to protect the egg from those who were not its rightful owners. If you still want that egg you must jump, and soon, because the distance between you and the egg is growing every second.

|| Biru has taken a hold of first place. As you go to leap through the air you can feel the earth under you shift, shift and actually push up at the same time you push off. This extra push gives you even more distance to land on the other side. Could it be the earth wants you to have the egg? Or could it simply be that you just had the luck of the draw? Either way, you have to keep running to make it there.

|| Brisa, Thranduil and Abishia are currently tied for second place. As each of you step off, you gain speed - tons of speed. Not only do you (Thranduil and Abishia) managed to make it up to first, but all three of you get a good push off, ahead of the other ones. However, when you landed, the ground was still shaking and breaking apart. In fact, your hind legs are only centimeters from slipping off the edge, and you can hear the sound of loose rock tumbling down into the ditch the earthquake was creating. It was this slip up and struggle to not fall down into the ditch that caused you to fall into second.

|| Esther and Liit are tied for third. You manage to maintain a steady pace, and even the earth shaking does not stopping you from landing safely on the other side. However, since the others had gotten ahead of you, the distance across the ditch was far wider and required a larger head start. Be glad, though, that you didn't have to get to know what it felt like to almost fall ten feet down.

|| Ilios is currently in 4th place. As you are running, the feeling of the earth shaking takes you off guard. You stumble once, before grabbing your balance again, and manage to take off before the ditch becomes too large to jump over logically. However, when you land, you land and roll forward, body somersaulting before you can get back on your feet. You don't realize until now that the pack is starting to separate from you. If you want to catch up you'll definitely need to kick it into high gear.

|| Delsolea and Jorogumo are no longer in the running for this companion. Jorogumo posted 9 hours late, and Delsolea did not post at all. Both of you have the unfortunate timing of the earth dropping out from under you, leaving you in a ditch too deep to jump out of, and too small (for the moment) to spread your wings and fly out of.

This is a dice roll race! All previous denials will be used in your favor in the dice. You have 96 hours to post to this drop before the next roll - there will be at least 3 rounds (4 if there is a tie for first after the 3rd round)
