[QUOTE="loxmyth, post: 1410687, member: 1255"] [b]~ Froud[/b] Poe grins back at the gnome, considering his pie. "Adventura, huh? Sounds like a lot of fun... if you can keep up with all ya schoolwok and such. I guess I know who to talk to when I find twouble, huh?" [b]~ Miriah[/b] Miriah put a copper on Kingfisher, and the attendant at the booth signed her a stub with the horse's name on it. Looking at the odds posted on the board above the booth, she noticed that both Kingfisher and Kingfisher had slightly lower odds of winning than the others. "Those two are wasted on short races like this," the attendant explained. "Uthgart's not much good on a straightaway and Kingfisher takes his time to build up speed." The young wizard returned to her seat just in the nick of time; the starting cymbals clashed, and the race had begun. Frostmane exploded from her gate, with Winddancer, Triumphant and Kingfisher on her heels. Uthgart was visibly the slowest to start, his heavy hooves throwing up packed dirt as he picked up speed. About halfway up the track, the grey sleek shape of Winddancer raced passed Frostmane, outdistancing the others to win the race handily. Triumphant steadily increased her pace until she was neck and neck with Frostmane, and so they finished tied for second. Kingfisher coasted to a fourth place finish, while Uthgart placed last. "Well, I suppose you should have bet on Winddancer?" Ain asked of Etan, who shrugged. "You see, these races are quite unpredictable," he told Miriah. "You could have won as easily as you lost."
