SPEED SKATING @JinxMoonstone could I be added to the daily reminder pinglist, please?

"I don't know," she whispers to him. "I'm not really a skater. How can I compete with anyone else?" Her mate flips one wing towards the first heat just as a Skydancer spins out of control on the ice. "You don't need to be perfect," he says. "You just need to be good. And you are good, remember--you skated so fast you were able to rescue our eggs when they were stolen by a Frozen Goblin!" Erendiria raises her head a little, a spark of pride coming into her gaze. "I did," she says more confidently. "Although of course he stank like old fish, so he was easy to track." Thistletide her mate nudges her affectionately along her jaw. "His stink didn't make you any faster." "Hmm." Erendiria turns in the direction of the ice, scenting the air delicately. "The ice smells swift," she muses. "It's Icewarden's encouragement to you," says Thistletide. "You can do this. I will watch and make a memory of it for my soul." Erendiria's eyes grow wide as she turns to look up at Thistletide in surprise. "You'd make a memory of this?" Thistletide's whiskers sweep forward confidently and he gives a caressing pat to his pearl, cradled in the crook of his other arm. "I'm always joyful that we can make memories together. But seeing you take to the ice to try your best, to speed along it--that's a memory I want to keep." Erendiria's nostrils flare as she draws in Thistletide's scent, then turns back to the ice. "I'll do my best. I want your soul to have the best memories." She steps to the rink, joining the next skaters on the ice.

It's so big, she thought, and I'm so small. What made me think I could do this? Her heart sank, she was clearly going to make a fool of herself and her clan. She heaved a great sigh and began to turn around to tell the ramp attendant that she had changed her mind. But then she heard her name called from the crowd. She looked, it was her best friend Nandi who was, much to the annoyance of the crowd around her, standing on Hadrian's back waving her wings wildly and cheering, "You can do it Mot! You can do eeeeet! Woooooo!" Motlequin chuckled, Nandi was such a goof. And with that, all of the doubt and fear left her heart, she squared her shoulders, tucked in her wings and crouched. The starter horn sounded and she tipped forward, the frigid air flowed around her as she shot down the ramp. Through narrowly slitted eyes she saw that she was nearly at the end. Motlequin half extended her wings and soared into the sky. Muddled by the rushing of the wind and the pounding of her own heart she heard Nandi's near hysterical cheering. A quick tilt of the wings and she was spinning in a near perfect barrel roll. As she began to feel the pull of gravity she extended her wings further and began a looping triple backflip. Her head was spinning, but just in time she tucked her wings, threw back her head and stuck the landing. The crowd erupted in cheers, well at least the part of the crowd that was made up of her Clan. A single tear rolled down Motlequin's cheek, she'd done it.

@Naga

Added! Thanks :-)

(Let me know if it pings you again there if I edit that post and add someone else. I'm pretty sure they fixed duplicate pings... but not 100% sure.)

@JinxMoonstone they fixed double pings within the same post but not if you edit in a ping. I was double pinged but I don't mind :)

"Hello," says the friendly tundra behind the counter. "Can we help you?" Dakota flicks his tongue. "I suggest the luge, personally," says the tundra. "The wind in your fur as you slide is just delightful!" Dakota flicks his tongue again, picks up the pen, and scribbles something unintelligible on the "speed skating" form. "Oh, speed skating?" the tundra says. "Also an excellent choice! Here are some skates. Now you'll probably want to remove your hat and monocle--" Dakota does not take the skates, or remove his hat, and instead walks past her towards the skating rink. Perplexed, the tundra sees that he is already wearing skates. They clink oddly as he walks. "Wind dragons," mutters the tundra. "Brains all flew away on the breeze. Who's next?"
