Dalkel forest
Sasuke

I could feel the wind on my face, and see the trees rushing past me , I looked up –nothing-- , “we must be winning” I whispered to Starr , my horse, i suddenly herd wings beating , i looked up to see a massive green dragon soar through the sky above me ,“damn it” I murmured as i softly kicked Starr . So she would go faster, Starr whipped around the corner the end of the forest came in view, the end of the race , I kicked Starr again softly but more firmly , Starr leaped over a fallen log and began gaining speed I saw she shadow of Sebell's dragon and then I came on it, since the sun was behind us , dawning , the shadow was in front of her,so we where winning. A tongue of fire licked the trees to the left of us,“HAY NO FIRE” I screamed as the green dragon over took me again.“sorry Sasuke“ Sebell yelled back,“your just lucky your my sister” I shouted, I exited the forest a full meter behind Sebell.

I landed Emerald on a grassy hill the light green grass looked good next to the dark metallic green hard scales of Emeralds body ,I saw a bald man walk up to Sasuke and help him off his horse, they started walking up to me, “hey Sasuke that makes about a gazillion wins for me and um none for you”I taunted him “shut up” he shouted back “Sebell very good, but we must hurry the race begins in two hours and you must get ready” the man advised,he had a old and wise voice, “ok daddy thank you daddy” I said poking my tongue at Sasuke.“I could have won “he snapped

Dalkel lake
Qualifying match
Sebell

It was hot in all the gear, the helmet , the fire proof body suit's I saw the other 20 dragons , and their racers lined up ready to start the race , everyone knew this would be a fierce race not only because only the top 2 continued, but it was 3 lap's and in this track not being a long one laps where over quickly . I heard a bang and all the dragons shot off the mark twisting and turning to get to lead spot, we cut right over the sandy dunes , a pink dragon clawed at emerald he returned with a white-hot blast of fire , scorching the pink dragons glossy skin turning it an ugly black, the rider shocked pulled out of the race “good only nineteen more to go” I sighed
lap 3
3 racers left

I was coming second when it happened , a blue dragon swooped besides me the rider sat up balancing his speed ,I flew faster but he managed to match my speed and keep balance, he pulled a small bamboo straw out of his pocket, emerald was too focused on the dragon ahead to notice what the sinister blue dragon and its rider was doing the rider loaded the straw with a dart, he took of his helmet the first thing I saw was his satanic blue eyes and his slightly blue skin, he raised the bamboo to his mouth and blew into it firing a dart into emeralds neck , emerald let off a deep moan and lost speed , the blue dragons rider let out a soft laugh and put his helmet back on , then he returned to the lay down position and flew off with frightening speed , emerald started descending losing speed and descending , his massive wings stopped flapping and went to his side, he was going to sleep , his body fell through the air until it slammed into a sand dune below the other racers , I got up and took off my helmet, the sunlight was surprisingly bright, I looked up and saw the blue dragon battling with the one in first place , they were clawing and exhaling fire , but suddenly the black dragon stopped and fell down it wings folding in leaving the blue dragon to fly on and win the race.

Sasuke & Sebell's house
Sasuke

I poked at my peas and dried mushroom with my fork, no one had said much since the crash, fortunately Sebell was ok but it was a great loss, we all knew how much Sebell had trained and practiced, she pored her heart into that race and that blue rider had smashed it all,their came a knock on the door “Ill get it , my father said standing up and walking over to the door , he opened it a man stood their “I am Kiba Hyuga todays race official its seems that a racer who shall remain nameless cheated in todays qualifying match so by default Sebell and Choji win and go to the regional championships to be held here in Dalkel” the man at the door announced, Sebell dropped her fork, and her jaw, “oh my really” Sebell wisped , she was so exited so couldn't talk probably.

Starr was sleeping peacefully when emerald came and woke her up , “sasuke its one-on-one comp this time “ Sebell advised a one-on-one comp was where 2 racers would face of for 5 laps since 5 city's were competing ,their would be a total of 10 racers so 4 rounds with one days brake in between

I whipped over the trees i was coming last and falling back choji was good very good, he was the racer with the black dragon and wore clothes to match it , i saw him in the distance and i was gaining on him, “let fire rip” i commanded and, Emrald threw a ball of life at the black dragon it didn't have enough range to do any harm but that wasn't Sebell's plan, its singed the end of the black dragon the most painful part, the black dragon slowed i heard its rider yelling at it to go faster but it wasn't listening it wanted revenge , the black dragon let Emrald pass it then its started biting at Emrald's tail but Emrald playfully whipped the black dragon with it keeping it out of its reach , emerald flew over the race line winning because of the black dragons jealousy,

Dalkel forest
Round one
akora vs witay

witay's blue dragon lead for the whole race , akora's blood red dragon never stood a chance its fire having the shortest range of all dragons , but it hammered on anyway trying desperate and dirty tricks and failing with them all but on the last lap witay made a mistake barely minutes to the finish line he was showing off and did a somersault which gave akora enough time to shoot through and breath a long streak of fire scorching witay's dragon's whole left side. By the time the dragon had recovered from this akora had won the race, it just shows on the track theres no time for showing off.

KK, will do!

I love the story idea, but there were a few things that made it a little hard to read. There were some sentences that simply ran on, and there were also a couple places where the dialog was so embedded in the story that it got lost! But, other than that, it was great! Love the idea!

I might do a re-write of this oneday, become when this version was written i didn't have the skill i have now, i think this would be the 3rd short story i wrote thinking i was a serious writer! Early 2007 i believe!

Great story but what gender is Emerald? Boy or Girl? Because you kept swapping it around all the time!!! Lol.
