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...

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.
Image

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