It truly was a beautiful place to have one of these events. She had managed to sneak into one the event by simply pretending she belonged. It was getting significantly easier day by day to do that. But hey, it definitely made her life easier. Plus she needed something entertaining in her life at the moment. Traveling was starting to get a bit repetitive. She quickly realized that people were the same everywhere. Despite where they come from, or what they do, everyone was run by the same desire, to survive. To survive requires funds, so money spoke very well everywhere. So, well, if she wasn’t able to get in via her fake entitlement, she would clearly be able to bribe her way in.
Truly, the entire thing was disappointing. People were disappointing.
Celeste took a seat somewhere in the front, watching those who were participating very closely. The line up was not all that impressive - It was mostly just simpletons and merchants from the surrounding areas. It was a simple race, though this one held a bit more promise for those who won, as there were more bets than usual for this particular race. Why, she was not sure. She was just here as a tourist, basically.

Javal was excited, he was gonna participate in the race with Asleipmir his nightmare steed. It took a lot of convincing, mostly Javal begging and pleading with his horse to participate with an added bargaining chip of apples but the black horse agreed. Bootsamon and Nadia were mixed in the reaction, Bootsamon was happy for Javal and knew he’d do his best, while Nadia was worried that the local’s rumored dastardly underhanded plays. Javal was fine with that he reassured them, he’d beat them fair and square under his brand of “fairy play”. He was in the waiting area for the contestants all of them seemed either nice or gruff looking. He overheard one of the race organizers yelling for a “Crestel Pazire” to check into the race. After a bit, the organizer hurriedly ran into the audience and randomly picked a new competitor since this “Crestel” guy seemed like he wasn’t gonna show up. Whoever this newbie was, they were in for quite the tough start with their last-minute steed of a simple donkey who Javal heard the name was Herbie the Blitzer. Soon the announcer began doing his job “Everybody here today we are gathered to enjoy these braver racers prove themselves the best, let’s do the best we can to cheer them on”. Javal steadied himself and Asleipmir as the Judges gave their countdown, 3….2…1…GO! All of the contestants were off including Javal and this mysterious new racer.

Oh, these people were desperate. Honestly, the only reason Celeste had to agree was pure boredom. Whilst she wasn’t planning on winning, nor was she planning on putting any real effort into this, she could keep a better eye on why there were more bets than usual on a particular person. Curiosity was a powerful force. Though the non-appearance of this one rider was quite an annoyance for some, the people in the crowd seemed unbothered. Nonetheless, she continued.
Celeste was given a regular donkey, and though the noble in her seemed slightly offended at the lack of dignification, she figured it fair - she didn’t have a steed after all. She waited patiently as the announcer began his spiel. “Everybody here today we are gathered to enjoy these braver racers prove themselves the best, let’s do the best we can to cheer them on”.
The races were off! Celeste had gotten an actually pretty good start, given her provided steed. But, still, she was behind. At least, she thought, this gave her a good view of the games the others were playing. Celeste watched as some of the other racers who had gotten a rough start grumbled unhappily, the gears turning in their head. One of them, ‘Reese’, she had learned, was looking over at the director. She made a note of that, tilting her head as she tried to listen in.

Javal doing very well so far in the race, he was in third place behind a young blond-haired noble in white fancy noble clothes with a golden tint who was riding his elegant white horse, and in front of both of them was a masked knight in black armor riding a scary looking night black horse. Javal was trying his best and even Asleipmir, the lazy horse he was, was giving it his all determined not to lose. These three racers were giving it their all so far but once Javal turned his head slightly back to check what was going on behind him he was very surprised to see how fierce the competition was he saw weapons and spells flying all around behind him. Javal was lucky that he was up in front and not back here otherwise he’d have to feel the brunt of the chaos. The three racers had barely passed the first lap when Javal saw the first signs of sabotage from his fellow two racers. The three were fairly close to each other at this point with the black knight being a couple of inches ahead of the other two when Javal saw the noble racing aside he suddenly pulled out a lance and went into an offensive position.

It did not take long for those in the back to get violent. Something Celeste was clearly not interested in. She really did have to work to avoid the chaos, but she watched the violence. Someone got horse-kicked, another got almost skewered. Another one had gotten bludgeoned. Celeste could also sense a spell or two being cast. She looked over at the source, and rolled her eyes. There was no point in calling this out, the people saw it clear as day. So instead, Celeste stayed to her own lane.
By the time the chaos got to the front of the line, Celeste was right next to the only other person not pulling shenanigans; Javal. That was, until he pulled a javelin out. She moved a little to the side, trying not to gather the eyes of the others, to no avail. The noble swung at her, and she moved to the side, barely avoiding it. As a response, she pushed her hand towards him, gusting him off of his horse. She scowls, rolling her eyes.
The others decided not to join in bullying her, so she stayed in the back a bit more. While she was not aiming to win, it seemed she might anyways, with how these nobles are fighting eachother off.

Javal was relieved that he wasn't hit by the golden lance thrust from the noble rider next to him. Asleipmir charged forward as soon as the rider charged the lance thrust narrowly avoiding the blow. He had to give it to Asleipmir. The usually lazy horse had a fire in him right now, usually, he was even too lazy even to stay awake but right now he truly wanted to win.
Javal heard the noble rider scoff, "Haha lucky dodge fellblood but this contest of speed's winner is going to be me after all. What would I look like losing to any of the riff-raff here as a noble, I have no choice but to win" he laughed.
After this, Javal's conviction was increased he wasn't going to let this pompous rider beat him he was gonna give it all he had in the right way. He wasn't going to cheat by using any spells or weapons he was going to win using his and his horse's strength.
The black armored rider and their steed were still in the front just slightly ahead of the noble and Javal it seemed like they were to a fair rider since Javal hadn't seen any tricks from them yet.

Soon, the mess in the back had cleared up. Celeste looked forward, towards the two in the front - a knight that was clad in all black, who must have weighed a ton, Celeste thought to herself, and the other one, a fellblood who was clearly struggling, on a surprisingly fast, lazy looking horse. She cleared herself of the chaos in the back, and started to push herself forward, hoping to make it to the front - She didn’t give a single crap about winning, but the black clad himbo clearly did… And she would be remiss if she hadn’t decided to have some fun with this. As she rode up next to them, the black knight elbowed back towards her, and she had dodged, giggling slightly. “Feisty, are we?” She said aloud. “Come on, you can do better than that!”
Celeste looked over at the other rider, challenging him as well. She wasn’t trying to get hurt - not that she cared all that much, honestly. She was more, just trying to not be bored. Clearly she was, and so she had to fix that. She giggled as the black knight attempted to spear her again, the tip of it going right through her torso, as if it wasn’t corporeal at all. Luckily nobody saw that other than the three riders, but she found the reaction of the knight hilarious as he gasped, and screamed in annoyance. “WITCH!” --- Phantom Limb, Torso

The black knight currently in the first position in the race stayed silent as Celeste tried to talk to them. Javal was surprised that she was able to survive the savagery in the back. Javal wasn't the only person surprised, Celeste's new position at second greatly angered the noble golden rider next to Javal.
He screeched, "You pale woman, get back here. There's no way that some vile common riff-raff like you on a common donkey will win this, not on my watch. As the firstborn son of the House Gazan, I Ragal Gazan swear to beat you and anyone in this race and prove my obvious superiority.
The golden rider behind Celeste then prepared and thrust his lance next to Celeste trying to throw her off her donkey
"Go back to the back let the real winner, me win".
Javal was outraged that this gold rider was trying to sabotage Celeste he yelled, "Hey stop that, that's not fair" He quickly signaled Asleipmir to catch back up with the three riders as they had fallen slightly behind getting distracted by the conversation.
He appeared in front of the golden rider blocking his sight of Celeste, "Come on then Mr. Noble, try that lance thing again I dare you".

“I don’t need the help!” She exclaimed, just straight dodging the golden rider again. “If they can play dirty, so can I!” She positioned herself a bit away from the rider, ignoring the golden boy’s words as she pulled out a vial filled with little creatures of light. She pulled it open and gestured the wisplings that flew out of it towards the golden rider, with Javal getting in the crossfires, unfortunately. The little lights flew around the golden rider. As he slapped around, yelling about flies and screaming, Celeste thrusted her hand towards him, gusting him and pushing him nearly off his horse.
“Keep f**king with me,” She yelled “And the next time, I won’t be as nice!” She yelled at the golden rider, giggling a little. She was not here to win, that was obvious. But nobody calls her common riff-raff and gets away with it.
Celeste looks over at the other rider as the wisplings floated back into the little vial. “And you! I’ve got this. Okay? I appreciate your help, but it is absolutely unnecessary. You’re here to win. I’m not.” It was sort of difficult to yell over the wind, so as she was unsure she had heard him, she groaned, and looked over to Javal, probing into his mind.
Her voice rang in his mind. “You’re here to win, I am not. I think you should definitely get back to the front now!” She gestures to the front as she stares at him. “We’re almost at the end!”

Javal was suddenly hit by some little creatures of light as he was stuck in the middle of the noble rider and Celeste.
“Ah my eyes”, Javal says as he struggles to see with them in his eyes, “I can’t see”, he struggles to hold on to Asleipmir.
Asleipmir retreats a bit to give Javal time to recover his eyes.
As Javal’s eyes recover, he responds to Celeste, “I respect your abilities and shall leave you to take care of yourself. My apologies if I disrespected you I just really hate anybody who cheats”, Javal says sheepishly and is kind of embarrassed.
He laughs as the golden rider panics and nearly flies off of his horse from Celeste’s power, “You are truly a force to be reckoned with Lady Celeste ''.
Javal then struggled to hear Celeste over the wind whatever she was trying to tell him it must be important Javal thought. He tried his best but the only thing he heard was vague yelling over the sounds of the wind howling.
Suddenly Javal almost falls off of his horse as suddenly a voice appears in his mind, “Hello is anybody in there”, Javal thinks, “Whoever you are I’ll try my best to win and so should you. We have to beat the black knight”.
As Javal said that he recovers back into his saddle, he saw Celeste slow down a bit and get behind him.
He yells to Asleipmir, “Asleipmir was so close to the finish line we had to beat the black knight. Whoever they are, they've been first the whole time. Let's give it everything we got and win this thing”.
Asleipmir suddenly gets a lot faster and catches up to the black knight. They are both so close to victory.

Celeste was just glad this guy finally got the memo. She chuckled a little as she watched the two in the front fight for first place, while she was dealing with the golden knight, who was still fighting with Celeste. She simply dodged him, and eventually he would stop fighting, roaring about how it was HER fault that he lost. As the two in the front passed the victory line - Javal in first by a small margin - the crowd roared. The golden knight followed, then Celeste. As everyone got off their horses, she giggled as the golden knight stomped towards Celeste. “YOU! YOU WITCH! YOU WENCH!!”
Celeste rolled her eyes, mocking him for a second. “You sore loser!” She mocked, laughing again. The golden knight raised his hand to hit her, and she raised her hand. “Now now! You won’t hit a lady, would you? Especially not a noble from Mooglade?” The Golden Knight stopped. “Really?” He harrumphed. “What clan are you?”
Celeste stepped back, putting her hands together and bowing her head. “Celeste Saiko. Disgraced, but noble nonetheless.” She smirks as the knight steps back. “Very well…” He glares. “Noble, but disgraced. So not much better than a mere peasant!” He spits.
Celeste’s face drops, and she steps forward, her hands glowing red as she raises it to almost touch him. “You wanna try that again, you useless gold-coloured shit?” She hisses. The two stand face-to-face, almost guaranteeing a brawl if someone does not step in.

Javal and Asleipmir were giving it their damned best to win; they were pushing their entire bodies and energy into this final last hurdle. The black knight beside them did not say a word or threaten the two; they just increased their speed to match Javal’s own. Both riders were giving it their all, no cheats, no threats, no cheap maneuvers, just rider and horse versus rider and horse. Soon both riders passed the finish line with Javal just narrowly winning by Asleipmir’s head unfortunately for him the duo was going so fast that they weren’t able to stop in time. The two continued running and crashed down to the floor with a giant thud. The two quickly spring back up and sprinted and galloped to the finish line area where they were immediately surrounded by many people trying to congratulate him or get his attention. Soon after the crowd was dispersed he, the black knight, and a middle-aged gnome were put on a podium and presented their trophies and medals. After the celebration, Javal quickly makes his way to the golden rider and Celeste arguing fiercely.
It appears that Javal was followed by the runner up the black knight as he approaches the arguing duo rating for a fight, “Hello there fellows let’s all calm down here”.
The black knight then unmasks revealing a feminine face with long blond hair, “Aye shut up rude puffed up a spoiled brat, you lost fair and square now get lost before I shove my black gauntlet up your throat so far that you’ll puke up any trace of that unfounded pretentious attitude”.
“My word, fine I’ll leave not because I'm afraid of you pathetic worms but because unlike you I am of wealth and am busy I have many much more important things to attend to”, the golden rider scoffed as he leaves.
“Well besides that how’s everyone doing”? Javal asks, “It seems we never got the opportunity to formally meet each other. My name is Javal Zarrias, would any of you like to be friends”.
