Story:

It had been a while since Epona fully rode in a saddle, let alone without a saddle, on a fiery-tempered steed. A while since she had to tame and reel in the respect from an equine. Her last horse, with whom she had raced on even was tempered, for sure, but this was a creature of high grace and power. One that possessed a strong sense of loyalty to its leader once it sees one as so.One that demanded a level of respect from its rider. A truly magnificent beast is all the maiden could think as she worked with the stallion. Living up to the legends and the history she had read about Alfkaks. The first day, gave her enough time figure Noor out, growing accustomed to his personality and ways. She first allowed the stallion to run around on a halter in a ring. But all too soon mounting onto him and warming up with a mild trot as she sat there. She didn't have a saddle with her then but that never bothered the dark-haired maiden, having often ridden bareback even when she was younger. And as she rode around, the duo soon started working smoother together, Epona obtaining the respect of the stallion she had worked for. And honestly; she couldn't help but smile.

Now day two was the day the maiden had been looking forward to. Since she was a young child, Epona practically grew up in the saddle, always around, riding with her father through the pastures. And when she got her first horse, she was quick to bond with the mare. Now here she was once again, not believing that since that time she would be back riding, let alone competing, again. But the future was always fickle in this sort of thing. And as the race was off, Epona held to the reins coolly. She was calm and focused as the duo galloped on the terrain, on the path around the large lake where the race was taking place. And as the wind swept through her hair, as she fell back into the rhythmic bounce of sitting on the bare back of the horse and the familiar sound of hooves on the dirt along with the huffs of Noor surrounded her, Epona couldn't help the smile on her face. She couldn't help the giddy, bubbly-like feeling in her chest either as the thrill and excitement of the race took hold of her emotions. Yeah, she was definitely having the time of her life now.

And it showed too, as a single joyous laugh left her, before she urged the stallion again, looking back at who was behind them before turning forward. She was enjoying herself. After all, it had been a good long while since the last time she actually raced. 4 years if anything. And yet the adrenaline was a fabulous as ever. Her ears were filled with the sound of the waves crashing on the surface of the beach, and the maiden let herself take in her surroundings for a moment, before turning back to focus on their speed and distance. This was a race this young lady was intending to win. Without a second-worth of doubt! And she was sure Noor felt the same way. What with his concentrated gaze trained on the front with his curled ears twitching back and forth, taking in each sound and command Epona would give.

Yeah no.. the both of them will be giving it their best shot.
