OPEN RACE COURSE There were five different animals before him: a pony, a bird, a dog, dragon, and goat. Merope eyed them all suspiciously. The pony was tiny, and the goat... He exchanged a beady-eye with it. If he was a surface-based creature of draconic origin, it was possible that he was considering how it would taste. As it stood, the best option in Merope's eyes was the small dragon. Yes, it was smaller than the others... But it had wings. Wings meant it could fly, right? Merope always wanted to know what it was like to fly. All of the other draconic students he knew of could fly, but not him. While he had fins and could technically fly underwater, he couldn't help but to feel... curious. Even a bit resentful of what the other students could do. But now, he had a chance. He could mount up on it and take to the skies and -- Merope stared at the horseman that came up to him and informed him of the dragon's inability to fly. "Wh-what? Aw, man!" Merope sighed, mounting up on it anyway. With the horseman's instructions, Merope carefully navigated his dragon mount outside of the stables and onto the course. It was nice at first. Merope carefully moved through the paces, glancing over at the horseman who was watching them for approval. He wanted to make absolutely sure he had gotten the hang of things before taking the small dragon out on the course. Quote: 12: Your mount seems really tired! You don't let it rest however, since there's still a long way to go. -1 compatibility points. "Oh come on! The rain isn't that bad!" Merope chided, tapping his heels against the small dragon's sides. "Come on! We've got a lot more ground to cover!" ((OOC: Day: 1 Student name: Merope Mount Chosen: MIGHTY Small Dragon MOUNT COMPATIBILITY : 9/10 FLAGS OBTAINED: -- WEATHER MECHANICS: Rain and Wind BONUS MECHANICS: Merope is a Leviathan, classified as a type of Sea Serpent.

Long Grass FieldQuote: 41 - 60 - The howling creatures overhead have not been in evidence, you realize. This is also when you realize the snakes slithering through the grass have also been getting bigger. Some are as round as your forearm, some bigger. They rear and hiss in your direction, warning you, guiding you somewhere... Your next roll is 2d20.
Suddenly, there was another noise the tiger stopped dead in her tracks. Snakes!? Some of them where huggee. The tiger's ears fell slightly as she watched them gather around her. She was about to hiss back when she realized they were directing her.
"Y-you're just trying to help?" She wasn't scared of them but she didn't want them to bite her. So taking a moment to consider it the tiger followed the direction they wanted her to travel. What was the worse that could happen?((OOC: Day: 1 Student name: Willow TURN: 3 TOTAL HP VALUE: 25/30 FLAGS OBTAINED: 1 WEATHER MECHANICS: Rain/Wind Effect BONUS MECHANICS: N/A ))

Merope frowned down at the mount as it began to drag its heels. "Don't tell me you're one of those fire dragons," Merope sighed, running a hand through his hair and nearly knocking his hat off. "I mean, not that there's anything bad about fire-breathers," he added hastily. "It's just that they don't like the rain, and it's raining pretty hard right now." "Did you know? Dragons that breathe fire make amazing toast!""...Thanks, backpack?"

Long Grass FieldQuote: 21 - 40 - As you flee, something tugs at your ankle, and you hear a hissing sound. A very loud hissing sound. Even though you slip from it's grasp, the monstrous snake behind you lunges fast as lightning. You take 20 damage.
The tiger's eyes grew large as there was a loud hissing sound. The tiger turned around returning the hissing she tried to strike at it getting the huge snake to let her go.
The tiger started to run as the monster lunged at her fangs grabbing at her back hindquarters and tearing some of the flesh. "Nnnrrh..." Her claws flexed and dug into the ground before picking up the pace as fast as she could to run out of the maze.((OOC: Day: 1 Student name: Willow TURN: 4 TOTAL HP VALUE: 5/30 FLAGS OBTAINED: 1 WEATHER MECHANICS: Rain/Wind Effect BONUS MECHANICS: N/A ))

OPEN RACE COURSE Merope tapped his heels against the dragon's sides, squinting into the rain. "We can do this," he began encouragingly. "We've got this. Come on, lil' dragon buddy." Quote: 7: Your push your mount a little too fast through the flat fields, it is feeling a little tired. -2 compatibility points. "I think this area is flat! C'mon! Let's show them what you're made of!" Merope shouted, slapping the reins against its long serpentine neck. The dragon hissed before stretching itself out to run across the plains. "Come on! Spread your wings! You can take off!" Merope pleaded. "Did you know? This dragon can't fly!""Don't ruin my dreams!"

OPEN RACE COURSE Okay, so the small dragon couldn't fly. Merope settled instead for carefully leaning forward over his mount's shoulder, peering into the rain ahead. If he didn't look down and used his imagination... Maybe, just maybe this was like flying. It wasn't the real thing, but it would do for now. Quote: 5: Your mount is pacing itself nicely as you manage to steer it over some rough terrain. You manage to obtain another flag! The rocking motion of the mount was soothing. It was... fun! The grin on Merope's skeletal face stretched, growing to fill his face completely. This was amazing! There was nothing like it underwater. This was his first time riding another creature in fact. There was something exhilarating about it, something that was only heightened when he spotted a bright red flag ahead. Merope swished his tail to one side and used the crab-claw on the end to grab hold of it and pluck it free from its place. He turned around in the saddle and grabbed it, holding it so that the lepus guide in his backpack could snatch it and stuff it in. One flag, get!((OOC: Day: 1 Student name: Merope Mount Chosen: MIGHTY Small Dragon MOUNT COMPATIBILITY : 6/10 FLAGS OBTAINED: 1 WEATHER MECHANICS: Rain and Wind BONUS MECHANICS: Merope is a Leviathan, classified as a type of Sea Serpent.

Long Grass Field
Willow emerged from the grass field limping as her wounds were rather unfortunate. Her tail flickered in irritation as she grabbed the last flag.
"Did you know that a snake can eat a Jaguar?"
Willow's eyes grew large as her head snapped back to look at the lepus. "I. DO. NOT. NEED. THOSE. FACTS." She growled very pointedly. She'd just found that out she didn't need it reminding her. Willow shoved the flag at the minipet. "HOLD THAT." She eventually limped back to her team's place and laid down licking at her wounds.

OPEN RACE COURSE Merope shifted until he was sitting back down in the saddle before he leaned over to the right, peering around the dragon's serpentine neck. He was starting to get annoyed at the long neck in his way. It wouldn't have been as annoying if the dragon could speak and tell him what was going on... could it? Should he ask it a question? Stay silent? Merope was unsure of himself. Perhaps it was best to let the dragon be. After all, if it was sentient... most likely it would tell Merope to get off and walk the rest of the way himself. Or something. Quote: 11: Your mount stops to drink some water, but actually manages to choke on it. -2 compatibility points. His fear was unfounded as the dragon slowed for a drink, then proceeded to choke on it. Merope's fear returned when the dragon glanced over his shoulder at him, faint tendrils of smoke coming from its nostrils. "Hey, easy there," Merope said, reaching out to soothe the dragon as best as he could by running his hand along its neck.

OPEN RACE COURSE Okay, so his mount was giving him the evil eye. They were cool. They were cool. Merope carefully sat back in the saddle, paranoia starting to sink in and drown his happiness. Maybe he should look into something else to ride, if there could ever be a next time. ...Could he do this underwater? Now that was a thought. He had some pet seahorses that were racers. What if it was possible to find a bigger one? He couldn't ride in his natural form of course... Perhaps his humanoid form was more useful than Merope thought. Quote: 5: Your mount is pacing itself nicely as you manage to steer it over some rough terrain. You manage to obtain another flag! A flash of red caught Merope's eyes, prompting him to reach out and snatch it. "Sweet! Another one! You're doing a good job," He said, passing the flag to the lepus guide in his backpack while petting his mount's neck with the other. "Did you know? Flattery and compliments get you anywhere!""I was talking to the dragon." "Did you know? Inside every lepus guide is a tiny dragon!""Yeah?" "Did you know that this tiny dragon breathes fire and will eat your socks?""...Really."

OPEN RACE COURSE Merope leaned back in the saddle, basking in the rain that fell. Today's weather was gorgeous! How could anyone not like it? Sure it made your hair stick to your face and turned the dirt to mud which made things slippery but... ...he could begin to see their point. He shifted in his saddle, squinting. "Whoa, jump ahead!" Shoot, what did the horseman tell him to do? Merope leaned forward in his saddle, slapping the reins against the dragon's neck. "Ha! Let's go!" Quote: 3: You push your mount a little too hard over a large ravine, and it is tired. - 1 compatibility point The rain made it difficult to determine the size of the ravine. It was bigger than Merope imagined it to be. Before he could utter an explicit word of his choice, the small dragon's wings unfurled and snapped to their fullest length. The rain pattered against them as the creature flapped them once and twice before holding them straight out, gliding across to land rather heavily on the other side. "Whoah. Whoah, whoah, whoah! That was SO COOL!" Merope gushed, slapping the dragon's flank. "That was amazing! You're awesome!" The dragon arched its neck, please before Merope signaled it to continue on. At that, the dragon looked less than impressed and tossed an irate glance at its rider before continuing on.

OPEN RACE COURSE Merope twisted towards the left in the saddle, looking thoughtfully at the dragon's wing. It was folded against its side, and rather unimpressive. When it was opened it was much larger. Merope looked at his own arm and the fin on it, flexing it thoughtfully. He wondered if he could glide like the dragon, or (most likely) his fins were far too small. Quote: 2: Oh no! Your mount trips over a large boulder and you both go flying! YOU FAIL THE COURSE. Distracted as he was, Merope missed the boulder that was ahead. The mount tripped and flailed with enough force to send Merope flying from the saddle, whereupon he rolled and crashed into a bush. Before he could pick himself up and remount, the lepus guide he was paired with blew a whistle and fired off a safety flaire, summoning some boogeymen to his side. Before he could protest that he was fine, Merope was escorted from the course and dropped back into the main area.

Willow's ears perked up and her head followed when someone else came back. It was Merope. Her ice blue eyes watched him for a second before looking around Amarus was there too. "How'd you two do?"
She asked still tending to the wounds left on her hindquarters and back. Tail flickering in irritation as she tried to make sure they were properly cleaned. If only she'd been more aware of what was around her in that grass this probably would've never happened.

Amarus paused for a bit, slightly horrified by the claw sounds she had just escaped, watching Willow clean her wounds. Looks like it could just as easily have been her, raked up. "What got you, Willow?" she asked, with a hint of concern in her typically empty expression.
She turned to look at Merope and then Willow again. "Got 4 flags," she added, with a smile. "How about you two? I wonder where the others are... hope they're okay. There was at least one thing down there in the dark with me..."
At least the rain was washing the mud off her.

"Two flags here," Merope answered as he reached up, plucking a twig from his hair. "I was riding a dragon when something hit us." He paused, squinting up into the rain. "Or maybe we hit it. I dunno, my brain's a little foggy on some parts." He offered a shrug before dropping down on the ground next to Willow, staring ruefully at himself. He was smeared with mud and twigs, the latter of which he was carefully picking off of him.
A thought occurred to him then. Guiltily, he looked at Willow's wounds and at Amarus, stumbling with his words. "Er, are either of you okay? I mean, you aren't," he added towards Willow, "But I don't know first aid..."

Willow paused in her cleaning, "Monster of a snake. Had to be about twice my current size, and I have no idea how long. There was something else there too, dunno what it got my back." The tiger glanced back towards the fields. "If you get the grass one be careful. There's some mean ones in there."
Eventually, the tiger ghoul just laid down not really satisfied but her wounds were cleaner than they had been and let out a yawn. "I managed to get two." She answered.
There was a pause when Merope stumbled over his words. "I've been hurt worse." She answered with a sigh. "I've dissipated a few times, three I think, since I joined the school s'no big deal." She glanced at both of them. Rolling her shoulders, it might've looked odd for a tiger to give a shrug.
"You got to ride a dragon?" She asked looking at Merope. There was another pause when Amarus mentioned there was something with her as well, "They must've let things lose on all the areas then. Just gotta try to be careful, and expect the worse but hope that Jack and Sally are with you."
