"Gather, friends!" He demands in a friendly way In a way that you could still turn him down. Had he said Get over here, she would've been nervous, but seeing his friendliness (at least that's what it was in her eyes) made her trust him enough to walk over. "Those with equine blood in their bodies may race through these rings. Show honor to your gods by putting your heart into the race. The first around the island is the winner." She wanted to honor her gods, so she would race today. She hopes to make the Hidden Falls proud. She will win this for her home, and if she can't win, she can only hope someone from her herd can. She smiles for a moment, finally realizing her equine blood can come in handy at a time like this. She also realizes that she is an arab, built for speed and endurance. She was ready for this race, but not ready for the magic that came with it.
Once the words go is uttered, all the horses take off in a flurry of colors. Someone or the gods use magic to summon roots from the ground. She tiptoes through them and resumes her steady, yet fast paced, gallop. With the ring ahead, she moves quickly, easily covering much distance. She was built for this.
