Absynthe
From now
Until the darkness claims me.
The morning was bright, though the unseelie fae was not quite thrilled with the idea of the bright morning. It was going to be hot as the day progressed, and Absynthe was built for the cold. Shaking her tri-colored mane, she danced toward the starting line with the others, dipping her head respectfully to Uzi. "Thank you for allowing me to race, even though I am not part of your court." She said softly, receiving a warm smile from the Dusk sovereign.
Readying herself on the starting line beside the other competitors, she frowned softly at the small group. As a former princess, she knew the challenges of getting a group together for an event. Shaking her head, she gazed out at the course, the race clearly marked with flags and easy to follow. This race was to be simple, just the challenge of speed to be tackled. The flying members of the race had been stressed that use of their wings would be an instant disqualification.
The sound of a bell caught the mare’s attention and as the rush of bodies surged forward, she found herself starting badly. With a small snarl, she pushed herself to catch up and run with the group. Delicate ebony and acid hued legs flashed as she stretched out to traverse the course. She was by far not the largest, nor did she have the longest legs… but that wasnt enough to let herself give up.
The grasses had been trimmed to make the path easier, any holes filled. This race was easy compared to the ones that were planned to follow. The thundering of hooves and almost freight train sounding breaths were a melody to the fae’s ears as she moved. A small rock caught her attention and she leapt over it to avoid tripping, slowing her momentarily and causing her to work to speed up.
"Speaking."
