Sorry it's been so long since the last race guys, I've just been so busy I haven't had a chance to run one. Since I have a few days before I fly home for the holidays, I figured I better sneak one in while I have a chance! Hopefully I can get back into doing them more regularly once I get back into the swing of things again...

[tierasa]

YAY! So excited for another race. I really love watching them even when I'm not in them. XD

[silvermoondragon]

A number of Samanayrs wait at the base of a mountain, their breath fogging in the air as they wait for the starting sound.

[Raenia]

Whoo, so glad I'm online to catch this! It's so much fun to watch as it happens

Go Vision! Use those scouting skills!

[silvermoondragon]

As the race starts, the Samanayrs head up the slope leaving soft marks in the powdery snow behind them.

[silvermoondragon]

This round has our first obstacle appear, a patch of slippery ice.

[silvermoondragon]

The ice slipped up a few racers last round, but this round has the majority passing over the obstacle to continue their hike up the mountain.

[silvermoondragon]

As the racers start forward this round, there's a rumble overhead. All of a sudden there's an avalanche rolling down the mountain. All the Samanayrs are fine, but some have lost a little ground in the tumble.

[Sushidragon]

Oh no! Be careful, racers! D:

[silvermoondragon]

The Samanayrs shake and brush the snow off their coats and continue on, a little shaken up but good to go.

[silvermoondragon]

As the racers continue on, some racers are starting to get closer to their goal.

[silvermoondragon]

The next obstacle has shown up, a deep chasm runs across our racers path and they must somehow make their way across it.

[silvermoondragon]

And with that, Glory has crossed the finish line.


In first place we have: Echos' Glory of the Emerald Spring

[LvSoulFriend]

Argh, forgot about this XD

Shifter, this is your element! Use your powers!

[silvermoondragon]

Next we have Mystic of the Iridescent Icies crossing the line. Now, who will be our final winner?


In second place we have Codress' Mystic of the Iridescent Icicles

[silvermoondragon]

With this last round, we have a tight call between Omen and Mystic of the Iridescent Skies. The Sharians even had a tough time making out the winners from the cloud of snow that followed, but in the end Mystic was just a little ahead.


So with that we have our winners:
First: Echos' Glory of the Emerald Spring
Second: Codress' Mystic of the Iridescent Icicles
Third: Bluestarwolf12's Mystic of the Iridescent Skies

Echos please let me know what hairclip you would like for Glory and what modiem you would like. Codress, once Echos has chosen a hairclip, let me know what your choice is as well as what modiem you would like.

The random modiems are as follows:
Echos: Pattern
Bluestarwolf12: Species

[Raenia]

Congrats to the winners! These are always fun to watch

[tierasa]

Oh dear, I missed it. Congrats, winners. Thanks for running the race, Silver!

[Operetta]

Congrats! Seems like Glow did alright just not quite good enough. XD

[FoxyJhai]

Congrats!

[Bluestarwolf12]

Congrats! Excited to see which hairclip I end up with~ It's funny that 2nd and 3rd are both Mystics of the Iridescent something-or-rather |D

[CareBear89]
