The next part of the race was a bit of a blur for Shideezhi. She was in the middle of the pack, it seemed and she really wanted to pull ahead to get out of the fray. Twice the stumbling of others almost saw her own demise, but she managed to avoid the obstacles in the road. Just barely. She found her stride for a while after that, eating up the ground, but got a little lost and realized a rather disgruntled zebra was chasing her. It took her a little crafty running to get away from the large preybeast, but finally she found herself back on the marked path.

Cŵn Annwn was finding the going to be a bit tough as well. After some strange sounds distracted him and splashed him into a river, he made up for lost time by running a little faster than he normally would. That sent him tumbling back into the same river a little further down the path as he missed a root twisting up from the ground. That spill did him in a bit as he staggered into a few other obstacles and emerged muddy and sore. He took a few precious moments to clear his face of mud, at least, before getting back into the race.

[First four are for Shideezhi, second four are for Cŵn Annwn. If we're supposed to just do one roll per post please let me know! Just a little busy today, figured I'd get it all done in one go X3]

Cursed branch. He got a good snarl and snap at it as he danced around it. To everyone else this probably looked hilarious but he was going to show it who was boss before he continued the race. Time to step everything up into gear! [First Roll: 2 Total Points: 20] Another stumble along the race. Things really were against her weren't they? Picking herself back up Mchumba continued. No time to dilly dally she was already falling behind everyone else. [First Roll: 2 Total Points: 13]

How is it that he had been in the lead and now all of a sudden he was having the worst time. Rakesh... great scout... bested by a rock, a branch, and mud. Dirty fur and all trudged on. [Second Roll: 1 Total Points: 21] The female crashed into the water, a large splash getting on the ground and making a bit of mud. She lay there for a second, what did it matter to take a few more seconds at this point in the race? Just lap up a bit of water on top of the unexpected bath and continue.

Tripping over his own paws sent him smacking right into the water. On this hot day on this grueling track he welcomed the refreshment of the water. Taking a second to regain his bearings he took a few quick drinks and started on the task of finishing this race. [Third Roll: 2 Total Points: 23] So many she could see were having a touch of trouble she almost didn't see the branch that nearly caused her to stumble. Thankfully she caught herself. Oighrig grinned. No way she was going to let this stop her despite all the odds stacking against her. [Third Roll: 2 Total Points: 17]

Another branch trying to trip him? Oh no. Not today. He danced around it and nearly stumbled again. Looking around he wondered if anyone saw it. No? Alright time to continue. [Fourth Roll: 2 Total Points: 25] Now she was getting somewhere. Her paws seemed to get in sync with each other as she began feeling the rhythm of the track they were on. Thoughts of winning the race dancing about in her head. She could do it! And she'd show that pretty male a thing or two. [Fourth Roll: 4 Total Points: 21]

It was the sound of thundering hoof steps behind her accompanied by frantic barking that caused Matao to nearly turn back. What if someone had gotten attacked by the same zebra that had been following her? A image of her standing in the winners circle flashed through her mind and then she turned back to run on... Only to trip again, her limp really starting to throb at this point and fall into a small stream. It was more of a puddle, really, with how the mud stuck to her fur more easily, but she got up anyway and kept moving. She guessed it was fast acting karma, not going to save a friend to win a race, but at this point, winning meant more to her and one bite of karma in the tail wasn't going to keep her from her goal.

As she sped along with the zebra on her tail, she thought, yeah, this is probably karma. She didn't help those who had zebras on her butts, now she had a one on hers. The image flashed through her mind, with the Queen (she had heard that there was a queen in this pack before she joined the race) bowing her head to her and congratulating her as one of the winners of the race! No, no, not one of the winners- as the winner! And she had gotten there without cheating or using the aid of her familiar, Usiku. That was a first, even in her day-dream image.
It was the image that kept her going strong and she plowed on ahead, outrunning the zebra, the pointing marker and hopefully, all of her opponents too.

That zebra wasn't giving up the chase, but neither was Matao. She continued running, running, and guess what? running still. She used her imagination to fuel her forward. What it would be like to be admired for her skill. What it would be like to have all the pack members looking at her with envy on their faces. What it would be like to become a member if she won. It would be wonderful. It would be amazing. It would be hers.
But enough with this zebra chase! She wanted to be alone in her daydreaming, not hunted down by something that's usually a prey animal itself! The nerve of it, trying to change the circle of life like that. Putting on her fiercest game face, she turned around abruptly and snarled and snapped and barked and howled until it turned tail and ran. That should do it, she thought, so long as it doesn't return with any of its buddies...

You can imagine Matao's immense relief when the beast didn't return by itself or with its friends. She actually panted out a sigh of relief, slowing down enough to nurse her limp a bit. In paying attention to herself and not the path ahead, she couldn't see the hidden branch in front of her and stumbled over it. Flattening get ears, her head turned so that she could get a good look at herself. She looked as though she had been through war!
She was too stuck on her resolve to question the pack at this point, so she picked up a slow jog and on she went down the trail. Was the fact that she couldn't hear anyone else because she was so far ahead, or so far behind?

"Oh gosh!"
She hadn't been paying attention, things had been going so well and yet she still wound up making contact with some debris and nearly stumbling. This time she was graceful! Quickly accepting her potential fate she was able to collect herself and continue almost as though nothing happened - a proud moment.Pakaja watched as some others came by, not really focusing on his own terrain - something he should have already learned to do from his previous mistakes - his paws find yet another branch in some debris and he stumbles.
"Ugh."
He breathes out slowly and pauses to steady himself. Then is right back at it, always a fighter!Points Day 1: 9 ; Shadi & 5 ; Pakaja

Finally! All that steadying and grace was paying off - she was relaxed. This was the first time she saw a clear path ahead of her, no debris, no others and she felt free!
Win or lose she felt like a winner now, or at least she was dry, safe and on a known path. That all counted for something.Grumpy now, he took another stumble.
"Damn it!"
He cursed the branch, the debris and even the very ground. Clearly all of these things were the problem, not his haphazard running about or his inability to pay attention, obviously it was the world around him causing him to lose this.Points Day 1: 9 ; Shadi & 5 ; Pakaja

Personal victory came to soon.
Suddenly she heard random going ons of hooves and howls. They didn't sound good, nor were the sounds her problem. With that mentality she pushed forward after picking herself up from the stream she fell into. Just her luck that she found another.Bumbling about now, rather than even trying to really get himself going it isn't as much of a surprise to him when he nearly falls. Still having to catch his breath from the exhaustion of moving forward he wastes a little time, but frankly doesn't care.Points Day 1: 9 ; Shadi & 5 ; Pakaja

Soon, going strong for so long, Shadi found herself in a wary state and suddenly found another stick.
"Unbelievable!"
The pale wild dog proclaimed, her light pelt being coated in some fresh mud before her muzzle meets a wall. This was an uncalled event that she couldn't see herself recovering from to nice.As luck would have it, he sucked. He knew this, the world around him knew it, the other wild dogs likely knew it. He was pained with the misery of finding yet another stick, one so kindly 'placed' in front of him.
Collapsing in the mud and finding a nice wall of rock with his face he simply pulled himself up with a heavy sigh and began to try and walk it off, fresh mud dripping from him and reviving dried spots that hadn't entirely faded.Points Day 1: 9 ; Shadi & 5 ; Pakaja

[Total: 15] Nearly stumbling again she shook herself. This was no good. Combination of being tired. She needed to give herself a good pace. Not wear herself out. Slow and steady wins the race.
