Lugh Blackthorn (with finally cleaning out his caravan) set about taking a stroll through Whispering Pines. He held his umbrella over his head and carried in his old looking leather saddle bags a picnic fit for one.
The path he walked was a good sized road. The trees weren't so dense around these parts and the weather was good. It wasn't too sunny and it wasn't too gray. It was going to be a peaceful day for the grayish white unicorn.

"Got to run faster. Got to run faster"
Neon, a white electric fueled earth pony, was running as fast as she could down a wide road deep in the Whispering Pines. She didn't want to bother anypony with her training. She dreams to someday be the first earth pony to create a sonic rainboom.
"Got to run faster. GOT. TO. RUN. FASTER."
The faster Neon runs the brighter her coat and marking get.

Lugh caught a shimmering glimpse up the road. He made quite a face. "What in pony's name.... " He stepped to the side just in the nick of time to let this pony run past. The wind ripped his umbrella from his tail and took him with the draft of the force. He tripped up and toppled.
Blowing hair from his face he sat up and called after. "Lad or Lass.. Whatever you are! Watch where you are running!" Huffing he stood up. "Nearly broke my neck (not really)." He seemed to be fine but what was that? That pony had an odd coat. A shiney coat... it couldn't be metallic... could it?

Neon turned her head at the pony she had just nearly ran over.
"Soooorrrrrrrry" she shouts but with her eyes not focused on where she is going, she trips.
Luckily she is has trained for this. Neon tucks her body into a ball and rolls for quite some time before coming to a sudden stop. Very dizzy, she attempts to regain balance.

Huffing his long tail curls around the handle of his umbrella that stuck itself in a tree. Once it was pulled free he shakes it from the leaves while walking over. "Serves you right Young lady speedster. What are you doing running along the roads like that.. you could have..... ah... Anyway are you alright?"
When he got closer he could see her better. "Are you a...."

"W....Why are....Why are you three spinning?" Neon's vision, still dizzy. Her eye are a bit derped. She shakes her head and waits a second for the dizziness to fade.
Now with the dizziness gone, she stands."I'm okay. I've been in worse" As Neon begins to rest a bit while talking, her glow dims to its normal level. Its no longer noticeable in daylight and looks like simple marks in her coat.
"Sorry for nearly running you over"

"Apology accepted." He snorts and nods. "My name is Lugh Blackthorn.. and uh.. what were you trying to do um... what are you if I may ask?"
He walks around her and poke gently at her markings with his umbrella point. "your markings glow... But you are an earth pony?"

"Nice to meet you Lugh. I'm Neon Greene and I'm an earth pony. I was training so that someday I can accomplish my dream of being the first earth pony to make a sonic rainboom. As for the markings, I was born with them. They don't know why or how, I just was."
Neon brushes off some dirt to better show some of the markings

"Pleasure to meet you as well." He gave a little bow.
You are quite an interesting pony." He stated as he returned to his spot from walking around. "So a sonic rainboom? That is an incredible dream for an earth pony. I haven't seen one of them myself but... I think you are going about it all wrong. If I may offer my services to aid you in this feat I would be glad to."

"All wrong? What makes you say that? As long as I consume enough electricity and train hard, I'll be there in no time"
Neon points to her lightning rod hat.
"How would you be able to help anyway? You don't look like the athletic type, to me"

He looked down at his legs and of course they weren't athletic at all... avoid all physical activity if it can be helped. "well no.. I am not athletic. However even a knight in training doesn't always practice on the dummies that can be taken down with a single swing... you see if you continuously go in a straight line you will run out of track to gain speed. I suggest a circular path that way you can pick up speed and never run out of track." He gave a smile. "you get my meaning?"

"I know a never ending circle would be ideal, but there is no way I could turn at those speeds. I've tried. It didn't end well for me or the tree I crashed into" Neon rubs the back of her head, remembering the injury.
"I don't see how you could help in this matter... unless you happen to own a track nearby" Neon perks up hoping that is the case

"the turn was probably at the wrong angle... ah... but I can be your support if you like." He then opened his mouth and closed it. "Unfortunately.... I don't have a track... yet. I can get one built.... That is if you are interested in getting help from a non athletic like me."
He kicked a little rock to the side and poofed up his umbrella to shield him from the sun that came out of the clouds.

"You can do that? You could get a track built?" Neon's excitement has peaked. She has been saving bits for a track of her own to be built but she can't collect bits fast enough to get it started and now Lugh is offering it. It's like another dream come true
"I'd love to have your help.... , coach"

Lugh smiled. "I can get it built alright.. lets see..." He looked around and paced one way and then the next. "yes.. we can put it over there. It's off the main trail but the land is pretty flat for it."
With that decided he fired up his magic and formulated five golems. Two were made of wood and two were made of stone. They were hulking creatures and set about flattening the land and removing trees that were just in the way of the track. One golem was made from a tree itself. That one collected items to cushion the blow if she would run into the walls.
