(I hate time zones)

Emberblaze saw that he got a nod from pretty much everyone, so he pinned his wings and dove back down toward land, keeping on eye on his team and Redmoon, whom he noticed had a large cut on her hind leg. He headed toward the next obstacle which was a large lake. "Why would there be a lake as an obsatcle?" he asked himself. But, he figured he would find out. He landed on the shore of the lake and looked confusedly at a watching, nearby battle mare. "What do we do?" he asked her, making sure all his teammates were behind him. The battle mare tossed her head. "You must swim. I can't tell you anything more, you must figure it out for yourself." she said, motioning toward the water. Emberblaze cautiosly walked into the water and he yelped at the frigid temperatures. His teeth started clattering and he started shivering. "We have to swim across this frigid waters to the other side." he said, realising the challenge

Emberblaze saw the the sisters were both injured. "Let's take a break for a few seconds." he said, hovering. He looked at him teammates. All were tired and had some bruises. Magicpetal who was breathing hard nodded and so did Goldenstream.

After about 5 mins, Emberblaze asked. "So, we ready to move on?" he said, renewed energy fueling his wings and legs

( Hello? )

Redmoon: Sweat dripped down her hide and she dodged every bullet. She missed one and it hit her injured leg and cause her to spiral out of control. She flew open her wings and shot upward. A tear came down her cheek at the pain but she managed to stay with the group. Breezebell had been hit a couple times but she was with the group. "Everyone alright?" She asked. She glanced at her sister who shook her head but mouthed words to her sister to stay quiet about her injury. Breezebell nodded again and kept glancing at Redmoon.

After everyone cleared through the 3 hoops, Emberblaze felt that something wizzed past him, but he didn't know what it was. It smacked him on the flank and he whirled around, but no one was there. He looked at Silverflame confused. At Silverflame's words, he tried to move and dodge the attacks, but the attackers looked like they anticipated Emberblaze's every move.

Magicpetal flet them to. One of the mysterious attackers shot by her and hit her on the wing as it passed, she shrieked and lost balance and she fell toward land. Goldenstream dived down to her sister and called out to her sister. "Flap your wings! Push down on the wind!" she called. Magicpetal pumped her wings and the wind caught her feathers easily and she regained her balance and flew back up to her colleges. "Don't let them hit you on the wing." she shouted over the sound of wizzes.

They near the next obstacle which was dangling from a high pine tree. It was a circular branch that was secured to the tree by a vine. "We'll have to fly up to this one!" he called to the yearlings. He opened his wings and lifted off. The circular hoop-branch was swaying slightly in the breeze as the got nearer toward it. He flew up to the first hoop and soared through it. His legs almost got entagled with the hoop, but he freed himself quickly. He waited untill almost everyone was through the hoop, then he continued on to the second hoop. "Make sure your legs are close to your body so they don't get entangled!" he called behind him to the yearlings as he flew toward the second hoop. He pulled his legs closer to his body and soared pretty easily through the second hoop.

Redmoon stared at the log, jumped it, but her back leg hit down on it hard when she landed and she fell forward and opened her wings and picked up the leg. "Yeah we're all good..." She said glancing at the cut her leg. Breezebell jumped with grace and glanced at Redmoon's leg and then at Redmoon. Redmoon gave a slight shake of her head and Breezebell nodded and galloped forward. Redmoon galloped forward trying to control her limp.

(hello?)

Emberblaze trusted his friend and angled his wings upward and shot up to the cloud layer. Magicpetal, who was geting pelted with the smacks along with Goldenstream weren't far behind him.

Silverflame:

More and more objects whizzed by Silverflame, "Go up!" he yelled, realizing that wile remaining in the air made them prime targets, land would only make them more so. Leaving the yearlings only chance at escape was to go up, and hopefully out of the range of their attackers.

Silverflame pumped his wings hard, and it didn't take long for him to get above the tree line. Then he glanced back, hoping to see the other following him.

Silverflame:

The bay colt stopped and hovered in front of the first hoop, making sure that everyone was through, then he followed, almost catching his own hooves of the edge of the ring. When he had gotten through, he followed the others through the remaining hoops, and all 12 yearling made it safely to the other side of the obstacle. "That still seemed to easy." commented Silverflame, as he pumped his wings and glided about a winglength in front of the group.

Smack! Something whizzed out of now where and hit Silverflame on the head. Seconds later another hit him in the shoulder. "Everybody! Move!" he shouted

Emberblaze flew up to the first hoop and soared through it. His legs almost got entagled with the hoop, but he freed himself quickly. He waited untill almost everyone was through the hoop, then he continued on to the second hoop. "Make sure your legs are close to your body so they don't get entangled!" he called behind him to the yearlings as he flew toward the second hoop. He pulled his legs closer to his body and soared pretty easily through the second hoop.

Silverflame:

Silverflame noticed that there were three more hoops behind the first one, this was kinda tricky.

Emberblaze: "It'll get harder." he said as they near the next obstacle which was dangling from a high pine tree. It was a circular branch that was secured to the tree by a vine. "We'll have to fly up to this one!" he called to the yearlings. He opened his wings and lifted off. The circular hoop-branch was swaying slightly in the breeze as the got nearer toward it.

Silverflame:

"That was a little easy, don't you think?" called Silverflame, as they raced passed the watching steeds.

Magicpetal jumped over the same log. She opened her wings and flew over it and she landed with a lighter thud. She checked on Goldenstream, who jumped over the log with a slight stagger, but otherwise it looked very graceful. She looked at Redmoon, Breezebell, and Shadowstar jump over the log. She nodded to Emberblaze to say. "We are all good! Keep going." Emberblaze turned back forward and the pack of 12 yearlings wizzed past the adults watching.
