    As the beginning of March came around, the staff at Shadow Hunter Stud found themselves in a restless idle as show results were going to be posted and the fated letter from the champions league could arrive in the mail. Disturbia had proven himself safe on the show grounds after Belmore concluded and Lucifer finally had a break as he and Dante returned from Vadberg in Switzerland. Razalie had remarked they had to take it easier as Lucifer had started to show signs of the stress of getting to him. Dante had noticed as the other seemed to be getting caught in the nasty grips of a cold. The universal message was “rest” from horses and humans alike. Syazel had made sure the other was put on strict bed rest as he took up Disturbia’s rides and Dante’s workouts. The angel had protested but realized it was probably for the best if he took some time off to recuperate.
  Disturbia noticed when he didn’t see the angel come out to tack him up for his workout. He looked to Syazel with concern, {Where is he?} he seemed to ask as he nuzzled the other’s back. “He’s sick.. Months of non-stop showing has caught up with him..” he muttered quietly as he felt the thoroughbred’s nose nudging him while he groomed the other. Disturbia nodded and turned his attention to stare out the window while the other tacked him up. Syazel secured on brushing boots as he was going to start the other on some jumping training. Lucifer had given the other some foundations but they needed to work on stride regulation and brakes before they could move on to higher jumps. “Let’s go.” he said softly as he lead the other to the outdoor arena where there were cavelttis and bounce lines lined up on the quarter lines. He warmed the other up and they worked through the exercises. The thoroughbred detested the bounce lines and Syazel wrestled with the other to get the stud to pick up his feet and not mow through the line haphazardly. This was going to be a time…
  As the week went on, Syazel was on top with Disturbia’s building up of fundamental skills and maintaining Dante’s so the other would be ready for AUSe later that year. Both stallions were polite and understanding with Syazel as they adjusted to the new rider. The morning of that Thursday, the mail arrived, however this wasn’t the usual mail run. Syazel had gone out and noticed a thick iridescent cardstock envelope with an embossed seal of a jumping horse. ‘To Lucifer Archangel’ was written in elegant lettering on the front. “It’s here..” he said in shock before running it up to the main house. Lucifer was fast asleep, wings splayed across the covers as he was quietly snoring. The door slammed open as Syazel rushed in, sending the angel into a flurry as he tried to orient himself. His wings spasmed a bit before neatly folding to the male’s back out of view as Lucifer fully woke up and processed the panting Syazel in the doorway. “Yes?” he asked in a groggy voice as he rubbed his eyes. “You made it.” he said in awe as he handed the other envelope.
  The angel pulled out a knife and carefully un-sealed the envelope. There was a small folder of the necessary paperwork, the accepted registration application, an official acceptance letter and a leaflet of his team and the other team members. He scanned through the contents in awe, rereading the contents multiple times over. “This isn’t a dream?” he asked quietly. “No, you really made it! I knew you would!” he said, some redness in his face. “There’s another package downstairs that I think has all the team clothes and tack. Why not outfit Disturbia and we can email it to our affiliates to let them know?” he said. “Good plan, let me get clothes first..”Lucifer replied as Syazel left the other to let the barn know of the good news.

The angel pulled on an oversized sweater and pants before going downstairs to open the box. He pulled out the saddle pad, ear bonnet, quarter sheet, jackets, and shirts. It seemed surreal to him but he changed into breeches and the show coat. The angel grabbed the saddle pad and quarter sheet before going down to tack up Disturbia for the photo. He was met with words of congratulations from the staff and some admiration from some of the horses. He pulled out Disturbia and clipped him into the crossties with a subtle spring in his step. They both knew and the stud stood still as he was outfitted with the shiny new Fireflies gear. Lucifer vaulted on and they walked out to the front where Syazel stood with a camera. “Say cheese!” he said with a smile. Lucifer cracked a grin and a wave as Disturbia stuck out his tongue. “They had truly made it.
