Flash Black's tail twitched momentarily in irritation. This other mare only doubted her because she couldn't hear the spirits as Flash Black could! Though she had never had verification of the truth of her portents, she had utter faith in their reliability. She knew that she had a gift even if no others would accept it.
"Fine. You can think that if you want," she said archly. "But we shouldn't play that game." She was full of mischief again. "It would take too long. Boring. What should we do?"

She gave a small smirk. "Good it is settled.. a nice quick game.. now.. what shall we play?" She wasn't about to suggest anything that might put her at a disadvantage ere. not with such a prize in stake. She didn't like loosing at anything. her pride in her collection was what some might say her downfall.

If waiting for the other to die would take too long, they had to do something fast. "Want to do a race?" asked Flash Black. She hadn't raced since she was a foal. She had generally lost when she tried, but she felt differently about it today. Today she felt as fast as the dragonflies skimming across the surface of the lake.
"I'll do whatever you want if you win," she said impulsively. She was rarely anything other than impulsive and now was no different. "But only if you do anything I want if I win!" She had no idea what she would do with the kelpi if she did win. She just had heard that it was the sort of thing that ought to be bet in a situation like this.

She pondered this. A land race would give her a severe disadvantage.. tempting as the offer was. her tail still was en-cumbersome at best.. land races were often where her brother excelled having gotten more of those genes from their mother. still.. if she pulled it off.. she would get a nifty prize. " Done. but only for a day and telling me to kill myself would make it null and void vice versa got it?" She had to try at least.

"Done!" agreed Flash Back with enthusiasm. She began to walk in place, lifting one hoof after the other then putting it back down in place. She was feeling fast today! As long as her braid didn't catch on something and trip her up she was certain that she could win. She imagined what she could have her new friend do for her. It would be entertaining, at the very least!
"Where do you want to race to? I'll let you set the course." She smiled crookedly. The kelpi would know the area better than she would either way. It would give her an advantage, but Flash Black wasn't worried.

She thought for a moment before giving a slight grin. "The coast isn't too far off from the pond.. How about to the beach. It'll be a good stretch of the legs if nothing else." She chuckled and pawed at the ground waiting for the word to start the race. What would she make her new .... acquaintance do when she won?

Flash Black thought for a moment then smiled. She knew how to get to the beach from there. "Sounds good!" she said enthusiastically. "Now it's my turn again. I get to decide when we start." She fell silent for a few moments before a manic grin lit up her face. "And the race starts NOW!" She shouted the last word gleefully and bolted off.
She wasn't overly concerned with fairness. A game was a game and losing it would do her no good! She ran forward with all the speed that she could muster, her braid whipping behind her.

He was relaxed till the abrupt 'NOW' that was shouted out by the other mare. Her hooves dug into the earth and muscles flexed as she sprang out at a run. Her tail made her gate look a bit awkward as she loped alone in an attempt to catch up. He wasn't about to just roll over and go belly up. No.. she wanted to win this race.. after all.. who knew what she could get the other mare to do afterwords.
So the mare wanted to play dirty hmm? Two could play that game she mused as she stretched her legs out, closing the distance as she ran. Soon she was neck and neck with the other mare and now was a key time to strike. Her tail snapped out aiming for the mare's legs in an attempt to pile the mare up in order to gain some distance. if she was going to win, she was going to have to play dirty any chance she could to keep the upper hand.

Flash Black gave Enakai a wild grin as she drew up close to her. The kelpi creature could run! Her hopes for a great race were not disappointed. She lengthened her stride to keep up with the other mare but suddenly the tail lashed out! Flash Black yelped in more surprise than pain and careened sideways. She staggered and almost fell, only managing to catch her balance by waving her own tail desperately behind her.
"Oh ho ho ho ho!" she laughed, breathless. "Cheater! This is a game of cheating!" That only made the game more fun! Quick as a flash she was after the other mare again. She was now somewhat behind her but slowly catching up!

She laughed back at the other mare. "Cheating is another ploy to ensure the most cunning wins!" She whipped her tail behind her once more, sure the other mare was closing in once more. Her gait was a bit strange though it never stopped her from pushing herself to her top speed. This land was not something she was use to running over. She could do it... but it was awkward and unfamiliar of a feeling.

This time Flash Black was ready when the other mare snapped her tail back. "Ah ha!" she cackled. As the tail swiped toward her, she snapped. She was trying to grab the tail in her mouth to trip up and slow down the other mare. That would teach her to wave her tail in her face!
Whatever the outcome of this race would be, Flash Black was having more fun than she'd had all week. She was even a little curious about what the other mare would do if she won. It would be better if Enakai didn't win, but that didn't mean it couldn't be amusing if she did!

Enakai missed.. then she felt pain.. her tail.. had been snagged. The lack of balance of a moving tail caused her to loose enough balance to have to slow her pace or else trip and end up in a crumple. An unfortunate things since she lost her advantage. Narrowing her eyes, she shook off the pain in her tail and pushed her pace.. Willing herself to catch the mare once more.

"Gotcha, gotcha!" laughed Flash Black in a sing song voice. She didn't take as much of a lead as she could have with her opponent stalled. Instead she bounded slowly so she could watch back at Enakai and grin. While looking backwards she accidentally bounded into a bush. She muttered irritably to herself while untangling herself, losing precious seconds from their race.
"How much longer is this course?" she panted once she was free and running again.

Enakai used this blunder of her opponent to her advantage. She smirked and caught up to the other mare. "Not much longer why you loosing steam?" She snickered.

"Losing steam! Yes!" shouted Flash Black, but the way she said it seemed more like she was shouting at random than responding to a question. Giving more lie to the statement, she leaped nimbly over a rock in their path. She soared gracefully through the air, until her long braid caught on an outstretched branch.
"Oh! Ack!" she yelped as her head was jerked behind her. She spun in a confused circle before untangling herself and managing to get on her way again.
