Ithilwen scrunched her nose and glared at Dain as she bumped into him on purpose.
Awkward isn't really my forte, neth'min (young one). She smiled afterwards...
The avariel stood up then and reached skyward as she rose up on the balls of her feet, stretching out her sore legs in the process. It felt good. "Had I been dressed for the occasion, I'd run with you, but I doubt I'd be able to go far with this." She tugged at her dress, frowning.
"But then again...."
In one swift movement, her figure as an avariel woman was lost, and in its place stood the large, muscular figure of a horse. Its coat and mane gleamed silver-white in the sunlight like a blanket of freshly laid snow, and its eyes were of two, icy-blue pools that reflected a wild yearning for long coveted freedom.
Ithilwen the horse shook her magnificent head, sending ripples through her long, silken mane as she pawed enthusiastically at the ground with a single coal-black hoof. A loud, shrill whinny pierced the air like a sword as she rose upon her two hind legs, sunlight dancing across her supple coat elegantly as she snorted and came down with a thud with her hooves digging into the earth beneath her.
Prancing forward a few steps, she looked over a shoulder at the others, bobbing her head as she spoke out to them in their minds.
"Well? Will you be joining me or not?"

Guess I'll just have to wing it and hope.. He climbed to his feet, not so glad he'd brought every weapon he had with him. Pen almost strapped the stuff to Ithilwen. Almost. That would have been a huge mistake. He performed a few mobility exercise's, then stood up straight. "Let's go?" He asked, now prepared physically, but still not mentally.

Crow walked up behind everyone, and poked Angelus hard with his staff.
"So whats going on everyone?" he said scanning their faces. "Anyone wanna let me know?" he asked having watched, but not heard their conversation.
(( I'm not gonna read the posts considering Crow wouldn't know whats going on, I like to look at my laziness as a way to make the RP more realistic. ))

Dain smiled as his bio-armor covered his body at once in a swift sound of rustling. The dorsal fin on his head raised as he took a runner's stance next to Ithilwen...the horse. A metallic laugh echoed from his helmet as he looked forward.
"Let's say we make this interesting, eh, Ithilwen?" Dain inquired, his metallic rasp coming from the helmet.
"If I get to that rock five hills over before you do, you have to fulfill one wish from me. If you get to that rock before me, I have to fulfill one wish from you. And a wish that is possible by my standards, eh? Pendragon, same goes for you. If we both lose, we have to do one thing Ithilwen says. If I win, you know, If you win, same. Got it and agreed?" A query rose.
Dain immediately braced himself his his foot pushed solid earth behind him. He planned on wining just like the other two if this was agreed to or not...but stakes were FAR more interesting.

The great white horse neighed in laughter, her head shaking side to side in amusement as her hoof pawed the ground in amusement.
"On one condition," she said," We run with our own legs. No magic, no armor, nothing... Just the skins in which we were born." She smiled slyly, her lips slowly parting to reveal gleaming white teeth as they reflected the young light of the morning sun.

Dain sighed.
Good, I'm faster the other way.
With his sigh done, the armor flared off his bodyas his white tanktop and pants were revealed once again. He stretched his back a bit and flexed his legs, that was the downfall of being human. You had to stretch or you'd get cramps...
Upon finishing his stretches, Dain returned to his normal running stance as all his muscles flexed openly. He chuckled a bit as he gauged his hands on the ground and his head held straight forward like a bullet.
"Fine then, what about you, lady mare? I sure hope you didn't come out of a stallion womb, eh?" Dain commented with wry humor.

A laugh from the horse's lips transformed itself into that of the avariel's as Ithilwen took on her own form. "Of course not," she said to Dain as she leaned over to grab her ankle in a stretch. She was now dressed in her normal attire that she had worn before changing into a dress, and her dark, black boots were newly polished as if ready for use. After a few seconds, she switched sides to the other ankle, and then finally touched the ground between her feet with the palms of her hands. This proved quite a feat, as her legs were quite long.
Had he known a bit more of my kind, he'd not have challenged an avariel to a race. Ithilwen couldn't help but smile discreetly. She couldn't wait to begin...
Ithilwen stood on her toes as she stretched out her tense calves, smiling knowingly all the while at her opponents as she chuckled mentally.
I almost feel bad....

Pendragon sighed, brushed back his hair and touched the fading charter mark. It was still void of power, and didn't seem to be getting stronger anytime soon. He pulled the hair back over, wanting to keep it secret. Not that it was any good now. Pen almost wished Ithilwen had stayed as a horse, that would have made things easy. The others looked confident, Pendragon figured he'd have to be cunning to win. Hmmmm... He glanced around his surrondings Trees, rocks, and hills.... A grin returned to his face, as a plan formed in his mind. He had to play to his strengths, and maybe his opponents weaknesses if he could figure them out. Pendragon had stopped seeing the other two as people, just challenges now. As he stretched, he checked over each detail of his plan.

"How 'bout you fellas run, and I make it difficult for all ya!" Crow said laughing. "Who else will be in this race?" he asked feeling good. Crow rather liked the Divine Hills, one of his favorite places to be at TMA.
"You guys gonna run? Or what..."

Dain looked back at Crow in a nonchalant manner as he chuckled.
"Do NOT interfere. This race is between me, Ithilwen, and Pendragon. You were late to come." Dain warned.
He wouldn't be able to interfere with my running anyway.
He looked back as he positioned himself again and rocked his back heel against the ground. He then started smiling, he loved running. Looking over at Ithilwen and PEndragon he nodded as he began a countdown.
"On the count of three, you all understand?" Dain inquired as his muscles relazed immediately. "One....Two...THREE!" He yelled as he rushed forward like part of the wind. He leaped as he tucked his hands beside him and bulleted down the hill, soaring through the air. Wind rushed past his ears as he glided down and touched surface, flawlessly coming into the rhythm of running again.
Heheheheh...
Purposely, he wasn't running fast. He was waiting for the others to catch up so there'd be competition, he enjoyed the competitive spirit. He was already jogging up the second hill, lingering around.

Ithilwen's back, right heel pushed off the ground with so much force, a crater, 5 inches in diameter and at least 3 inches deep, had dug its way into the earth as both dirt and rock were sent airborne behind her form. She could feel small amounts of adrenaline pump its way throughout her system, but she quelled it to prevent a quick fatigue.
Like thunder over the land, she was nothing but a silver blur as her hair trailed out behind her body, whipping wildly about in the rushing air like a silver flame in the light of the sun. Her light footsteps rang throughout her sensitive ears over the sound of the air rushing by, and her lithe form was sent flying over the first hill without a single drop of sweat. She was advancing quickly upon Dain's form ahead and wasn't even at full speed yet...
Years of hard, extensive training made itself known as she ripped across the hill with ease, her feet moving so fast it would appear to an onlooker as if they were not even touching ground but rather running across thin air. In the blink of an eye, she was right beside Dain as she slowed herself down, and her breathing and heartbeat were still very much regular.
As she trotted leisurely to keep pace with him for a moment, she smiled and chuckled as she said to him with a nudge of her shoulder," Heca, firimar (Stand aside, mortal)" Then, she threw her head back with yet another bark of laughter as she took off ahead of him in a flash of both white and silver combined.
Like a bat out of Hell, the avariel took on the third hill without difficulty and was now making for the fourth as her tall, slender figure was reduced yet again to nothing but a silver blur of rapid movement.

Pendragon let Dain set the pace, and just focused on keeping up for the start. About a minute in, they were all aligned. Right before Ithilwen shot off. Pendragon didn't know if he could move that fast, not anymore anyway. The power had been beyond his reach ever since he arrived. So, he decided to put his plan into action. He leapt up, and grabbed hold of a tree branch. Swinging forward and jumping onto another tree. He grabbed this ones trunk, spun horizontally round and sprung for his next target. This was his strength, agility and acrobatics. With quick flips and spins he could cover more ground than running, reaching the third hill, but still not up to Ithilwen. It brought him infront of Dain, but he feared that Dain wasn't trying yet. Gonna need more than just this... He thought, as he dived through the tree tops.

((xDDD I was going to put that.
Ithilwen sat on the top of the fifth hill two seconds after she started the race, laughing at the two, slower competitors as she pulled out a box of Pocky and began munching away. lol))
