Curling


7165160.png This event is probably my favorite. All the teams really get a chance to show off their creativity and flair, while at the same time demonstrating their skill and strategy on the ice.
8023219.png Since curling is played indoors, it's easier for dragons from other flights to train year around, although it's still not well known in the mainstream.
7165160.png Before we start the medal announcements, I'd like to give a shoutout to Team KAME of the Windmarrow Clan, who really rocked their team uniforms. Although they didn't place this year, they are a team to watch out for the future.
8023219.png And now for our medalists! Light flight did very well this year, taking Silver and Bronze, while a Nature clan made it to the top of the podium!

Great to see we won something! XD And Dante was awesome, aaaaaaahhh I have to find some way to include that in his lore now X3

Also, high-fives to @Stellatrix13, fellow Acolight! Oboro's parents are very proud of him (though his mother is doing her best to deny it :'D)

Fireclaw won?!!! Woot!!! What a pleasant surprise to wake up to this morning! ;D Thank you so much for running this event, I've had a lot of fun each year I've participated and I assure you that Fireclaw is overjoyed; he had trained so hard after never placing neither in the Winter Games nor in the Wavecrest Decathlon (he was starting to get insecure about his athletic abilities tbh). [br]----- [br] [center]After waiting for some time, Fireclaw starts to get anxious about knowing the results. He had trained so hard this whole year to prove himself after only bringing home participation medals in the Winter Games '17 and Wavecrest Decathlon '16, so the hours it takes the judges to tally the results is killing him. Glacynea and Clarity who has finished with their diplomatic duties has joined him in the game's grounds and tries to calm him down a bit, waiting wasn't going to kill him! Unknown, however, was nowhere to be found; last they heard from him was that he and the other competitors in the Game of With and Luck had to stick around to compete in one last event. Fireclaw wasn't happy about this, he wanted everyone with him, but he was very pleased to at least have his clanmates Glacynea and Clarity by his side.[/center] [br] [br] [columns][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=30003313][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/300034/30003313p.png[/img][/url][nextcol]Calm down, they'll tally up the results soon, just you see![/columns] [columns][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=15039999][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/150400/15039999p.png[/img][/url][nextcol]Mm... but it's taking a lot of time and I wanna now the results [i]right now[/i].[/columns] [columns][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=15069930][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/150700/15069930p.png[/img][/url][nextcol]Do you want the judges to take their time to judge you fairly or rush through the judging process and failing to judge the entries appropriately?[/columns] [columns][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=15039999][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/150400/15039999p.png[/img][/url][nextcol]I've been waiting oneee yeaaar!!!! to know the results.[/columns] [columns][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=15069930][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/150700/15069930p.png[/img][/url][nextcol]You are being quite childish right now.[/columns] [columns][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=30003313][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/300034/30003313p.png[/img][/url][nextcol]Is it your leg, does it hurt?[/columns] [columns][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=15039999][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/150400/15039999p.png[/img][/url][nextcol]Nah, Clarity healed it up well.[/columns] [columns][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=15069930][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/150700/15069930p.png[/img][/url][nextcol]It's about Unknown, isn't it?

Fireclaw won?!!! Woot!!! What a pleasant surprise to wake up to this morning! ;D Thank you so much for running this event, I've had a lot of fun each year I've participated and I assure you that Fireclaw is overjoyed; he had trained so hard after never placing neither in the Winter Games nor in the Wavecrest Decathlon (he was starting to get insecure about his athletic abilities tbh).



After waiting for some time, Fireclaw starts to get anxious about knowing the results. He had trained so hard this whole year to prove himself after only bringing home participation medals in the Winter Games '17 and Wavecrest Decathlon '16, so the hours it takes the judges to tally the results is killing him.

Glacynea and Clarity who has finished with their diplomatic duties has joined him in the game's grounds and tries to calm him down a bit, waiting wasn't going to kill him! Unknown, however, was nowhere to be found; last they heard from him was that he and the other competitors in the Game of With and Luck had to stick around to compete in one last event. Fireclaw wasn't happy about this, he wanted everyone with him, but he was very pleased to at least have his clanmates Glacynea and Clarity by his side.



30003313p.png Calm down, they'll tally up the results soon, just you see!
15039999p.png Mm... but it's taking a lot of time and I wanna now the results right now.
15069930p.png Do you want the judges to take their time to judge you fairly or rush through the judging process and failing to judge the entries appropriately?
15039999p.png I've been waiting oneee yeaaar!!!! to know the results.
15069930p.png You are being quite childish right now.
30003313p.png Is it your leg, does it hurt?
15039999p.png Nah, Clarity healed it up well.
15069930p.png It's about Unknown, isn't it? I know you've been avoiding him.
15039999p.png Mm... I wanted him to be here, but... eh, I'll talk about that later.
30003313p.png Has something happened?
15039999p.png Mm... nah... eh, well... we'll talk about that later!
15069930p.png If something's of the matter, you should talk it out.
15039999p.png I know he's busy in one last event of the game right now, but maybe he could have made it to the awards ceremony.

Glacynea lets out a small giggle.

30003313p.png So, I read that as you're confident to be crowned a victor this year.
15039999p.png No... ! I mean, I might not win, but I will surely get a participation medal... so, yeah, I don't know, I would like all my friends to be here, at least you guys and Unknown.
30003313p.png I understand.
15039999p.png Yep... . I'm antsy, I might've pushed myself a bit hard... attempting five events in one day... it might have been a bit much... and I think Unknown is mad at me so I've been worried all week about this Gala turning out to be a disaster.
30003313p.png Don't worry, I'm sure you and Unknown will work it out.
15039999p.png You think so?
15069930p.png Glacynea might not know him very well, at least not as well as we two do, but I assure you that I will help you solve any confrontation you might have with him.
15039999p.png You will?
15069930p.png Of course and I'll be a fair judge, I promise! Have I ever lied to you?
15039999p.png Yep, that's true.

...

Thank you, for always looking out for me.

Clarity leans towards him and hugs him.

15069930p.png You'll never have to worry about me lying to you. I've got your back!
30003313p.png Aw... I'm happy to have joined your Clan, despite your differences you are all such good friends!!
15039999p.png What do you mean by ''your'', it's our Clan! Both you and me, and Clarity's and Unknown's Clan! It's everyone's clan! You're part of us now!

Glacynea smiles.

30003313p.png May I join your hug?
15039999p.png Group hug? I'm always up for that!

Another hour passes and Fireclaw is now happily chatting with his clanmates, visibly relaxed after a long and exhausting week.

15039999p.png Seems that I've yet to place in any of the events I joined.

Another year... and yet another participation medal.
30003313p.png Don't be sad, they haven't judged all of the events yet!
15039999p.png Hm, I guess so.
15069930p.png What's important is that you have gotten better scores in some events in comparison to last year, that's ought to be something you should take pride in. Personal improvement is more important than any medal.
15039999p.png Medals and winning are fun, though.
30003313p.png True... .
.


Before Clarity has time to reply, the announcers come out and start speaking.

7165160.png We're getting closer to the end now, so let's speed things up. Luge is a fast and sometimes dangerous sport - quick reflexes and precision are the keys to shaving seconds off the run time and could make the different between first and tenth place.
8023219.png Then again, a little luck never hurt anyone. The course seemed to run a little faster at the end of the week and dragons that had late time slots may have gotten an advantage, if our podium standings are any indication.
7165160.png Our Gold Medalist is a returning competitor, well-rounded in all the events. It's unusual to see a dragon tackle every event as a clan's sole representative, but Fireclaw really stepped up this year and performed well. The experience from last year clearly made a difference.


The announcers continue to talk, but Fireclaw is already celebrating!



15039999.png15069930.png30003313.png
...!!!

The three of them freeze for a moment, before joyously reacting to the good news.



15039999p.png WHAT

I WON!!!
30003313p.png You won!
15039999p.png I won!!! Woo-hoo!!!!
15069930p.png You won... !?

Clarity is a bit surprised, but tries her very best to not let it show. She thought that entering five events in one day was excessive and his previous leg injury could have started to act up.

15039999p.png Hehehe I won, Clarity I won! Thank you for fixing my leg and for supporting me, I couldn't have done it without you guys! You're a great healer!
15069930p.png Well of course I'm a great healer, was there ever any doubt?!
30003313p.png Yay! I am so happy for you, Fireclaw. You deserved to win!!!
15039999p.png Oh man, I wish you could have seen me compete! I was like... whoosh!!! through the course at full speed. It was a wise decision to join the Curling event first as a warm up and then take on the Sledding event, I was all fired up when competing.

Firelcaw looks proud, he exudes confidence and he mentally pats himself on the back for his very wise decision of choosing the Luge event as the second event.

30003313p.png Don't worry, Fireclaw, I can talk with the organizers and ask them for a video copy of your performance. The Ice Flight has a contract with the Lightning Flight to film the events, just so they can easily catalogue and preserve every important memory of the Gala.
15039999p.png Really?!
30003313p.png Yes!
15039999p.png Thank youuu!!!

Tears of joy well up in his eyes, but his Fire magic evaporates them all before they can roll down his cheeks. He might be a Earth Dragon from birth, but the magic in his heart is pure Fire.

30003313p.png You truly are happy!
15039999p.png Of course I am! I'm on Fire!!!
30003313p.png I guess you now can retire from competing in more events.
15039999p.png Retire?! Never, but now I'll be able to fight as many drunk cyborgs as I want to without fear of injury. Now I'll compete in events like these for the fun of it, instead of with the added pressure to place on the podium.
30003313p.png I see.
15069930p.png No one was pressuring you to place on the podium.
15039999p.png I know, but I was! I wanted to prove myself! Even Unknown turned out to be better at competing in athletic events than me... and that is just shameful, he almost never trains! He uses his magic all the time. Apart from swimming, magic is his shtick. I hope he forgives me for entering him in that Game of Wit and Luck... .

He jogs towards the podium with confident strides and the ceremony proceeds to crowning him as the victor. He looks around with pride in his eyes. This was a day he'll never forget!
