Kari was not stupid by any stretch of the imagination. Although it had taken him a significantly longer amount of time perhaps, than those scaling the mountain’s face around him, he was quickly cottoning onto this concept of a race. Born right before Helovia’s submergence into hungry darkness; when wraiths hunted the living, and only the bravest roamed above ground, the frail little colt, knew nothing of sport, games or playful competition. Racked constantly by hideous events passed, and the loss of his mother’s nurture, his infant, impressionable character had adopted a rather serious stance towards life. Eyes narrowed, cunning wrought now through the natural soberness of his expression, and he flung himself onwards and upwards between the plunging rocks. It had also by that time (at last) dawned on him, that Kari too had been transformed into a goat- that was why he felt so sound across his hooves, so capable of achieving this climb whereas in his former, feeble body, he might just as easily have toppled over the edge to almost certain death. With the revolting taste of singed fur dulling finally from his nostrils, the nimble goat continued with ever increasing resolve. Then, the voice of the Earth Turtle lifted around him, ‘Choose, choose! Left or right!’ Long, lazy ears waved curiously to either side of his narrow face as it lifted to view the jutting rocks ahead. The path (the hazardous poor excuse for one anyway) seemed to split, and as Kari’s leaping legs stumbled across it he bore left naturally, quite deterred by the shimmering mirror-like footing leading left. Still, the path he had chosen was none too comfortable either, and his wary eyes gazed down as the rainbow coloured blurred beneath his passage. They were confusing, dizzying and though he had made solid ground since the fire, Kari slowed unavoidably as nausea twisted his stomach. He realised all too quickly that he would need to travel this branch of the race gently. |
