+2 | Kahlua | Gentle hearts bring good graces from the gods. The queen hopes not to be in last and she is rewarded. She gains TWO PLACES.

0 | Lace | Lace was once the fastest, but it seems his bones have grown old. Either the use of his magic or the age of his muscles slows him. He remains in the same position.

+1 | Sikeax | Perhaps Sikeax could have been the fastest, except for her stumble. The hybrid is fast, but speed is hindered by obstacles. She gains ONE PLACE.

-1 | Drom | The arab mare is cocky and though she is built for speed, Lace's roots seem to grab her hooves just right. Between the roots and Tingal's trees, the mare loses ONE PLACE.

+2 | Brisa | Brisa's strategy pays off. High, flashy steps carry her lithely over Lace's traps. She surges ahead, gaining TWO PLACES.

-1 | Dragomir | Dragomir is a talented crafter, but his jumping ability leaves something to be desired. He still has time to make up the distance, but for now he loses ONE PLACE.

x | Tingal | Poor Tingal, it seems he will not win this race. When he closes his eyes to conjure his own magic, Lace's becomes his downfall. His hoof catches on one of the roots, sending him off course and around the first ring. Tingal is ELIMINATED.

x | Tandavi | Tingal's trees are tricky. While Tandavi dives around them with skill, the snaps of Destrier's dragon prove an obstacle she cannot avoid. She stumbles around the outside of the first ring and is ELIMINATED.

-1 | Destrier | The brave warrior knows himself well- a steady runner but not the fastest. While he dives around the roots and trees, the others are able to pull ahead of him slightly. He loses ONE PLACE.

0 | Adelric | The child who brings his fawn to the race with him does not have limbs long enough to avoid all of the obstacles before him. Between roots and trees and snapping dragon teeth, Adelric has difficulty gaining speed. He remains in the same position.

+1 | Leeka | Leeka's strategy pays off. Away from the main fray, she is able to focus on the roots and avoid Suli's snapping jaws. She gains ONE PLACE.





The equines race well, but with so many focused on speed and not agility, the turtle conjures up a silly trick in his mind. Just ahead, giving the horses just enough time to process what they are seeing, the ground disappears. In its place, a series of clouds take its place. "Have faith," he calls out, his voice magically enhanced so that all of the equines might hear over the pounding of their hooves. "The clouds will hold, if you trust them." With many different paths visible, twisting and weaving together, the image is reminiscent of stones over a riverbed. Each cloud is large enough to hold the horses for a stride or two, so that they might have enough speed and strength to jump to the next. Below the clouds, there is nothing but open air, although a feeling seems to permeate that air that even if one of the horses should fall, the ground will reappear to catch him. Do the horses have faith in their gods and the turtle ambassador of this race? Time will tell.



Round two begins here for those who were not eliminated! You have 72 hours to post.
