Breaking the Barrier (Lugh, Neon)

[Evest]

Neon watches in aw at the sight. Its almost as if she is watching her dream becoming a reality right before her eyes. See watches the golems work.
"I don't mean to be rude, but why do you want to help me? It wasn't to long ago that I nearly ran you over and now your building a race track."
Neon turns to face Lugh.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm glad your helping"

[Mortaleredwolf]

Lugh gave a shrug. " Let's say I adore your dream. It is not every day you see a pony strive for something this extraordinary. Something that defeats their bounds." It reminded him of himself. Running away of taking care of an ancient forest back home... bound forever in a forest. "so it would be a great pleasure of mine to aid you through your dream."

[Evest]

Content, Neon sits back and watches the golems work. It shouldn't be long now. As time passes by, Neon finds herself feeling a bit hungry and low on energy. She'd normally be home charging up on a freshly retrieved cloud that Evest had gathered for her. She glances up and spies a small stray thundercloud in the distance.

"Lugh, do you see the cloud over there? Do you think you could bring it down for me?"

[Mortaleredwolf]

Lugh peered up at it. "hm. I sure can give it a try... lets see." he pulls his saddle back off and digs through it.

"I should have it around here... come now... Ah! Found it!" He pulls a collar from the bag and snaps it on. "And up up and away." the collar shimmers and glows bright before lifting lugh off the ground. Gently it wobbles as if it was going to give out before Lugh could control it enough to gently soar to the cloud.

[Evest]

Neon watches again in amazement. "Is there anything this pony doesn't have a spell for?" Neon thought to herself.

"Careful not to get zapped" Neon shouted as Lugh got nearer to the cloud. It would be of no use to her if the lightning is gone before it gets to her

[Mortaleredwolf]

"I'll try not to Lady Greene." He floundered up there and the collar gave out half way before relighting again. These old enchanted items needed to be recharged now and again. This was one of them apparently. He reached out with his magic and pushed the cloud closer to the ground before fleeing away and tumbling into the bushes. The enchanted object was no doubt drained and needed to rest.

[Evest]

The cloud slowly but surely makes it way to ground level. Lugh climbs out of the bush as Neon walks up to the cloud
"Thanks. Now Its time to get the lightning out"
Neon turns her back the the cloud and give it a strong buck. A loud crack of thunder is heard and a bolt of lightning instantly strikes Neon's lightning rod hat. The current flows into her body and her marking light up again.

Neon kicks it a couple more time with the same result.
In a almost hyperactive way, Neon sprints up to Lugh
"I feel great. Is the track ready? Is it?"
Neon looks to the track, where it seems the golem are nearly finished.

[Mortaleredwolf]

Lugh shakes the leaves from his hair and tail. "That's a rush. Ah so you charge on electricity!" He laughed. "Must be better than tea or coffee."

He turns back to his golems. "Ah indeed it is. Everything looks set up and ready to go!" Lugh goes on over to inspect the track and indeed it is smooth to run on. The golems have done their job nicely.

[Evest]

"Well, no time to lose. Let' get started"
Neon runs to the start of the track by the lake and begins to do some stretches. She lines up by the start and looks down the track at the high banks of the curves ahead.
"Are... are you sure these banks will keep me on the track? I don't want a repeat of... of the last time"
Neon rubs her head again at her previous injury

[Mortaleredwolf]

Lugh nodded and trots around Neon. "I believe so. The banks are padded with hay and grass just in case. But they did make it wide enough for you to turn easily."

He stopped and took the position of the race starter. "Alright are you ready Lady neon?"

[Evest]

"Yes, indeed" Neon rears up and prepares herself for the first test of the track. She awaits for an okay from Lugh. "Ready. Set. GO."

Neon is off like lightning. She runs gaining speed at every moment. She rounds the first corner. She clears it with ease. Then comes the second. And the third. Then 1 lap. She is feeling like she is closer to her goal, more so than ever. As she rounds off her second lap she stop near Lugh.

"This is going to be perfect. I say we rest up and attempt the big one tomorrow all rested up. Whatcha thinK?"

[Mortaleredwolf]

Lugh cheered Neon on as she went around the track, waving his hoof to urge her to go faster.

When all was done for the day he nodded in agreement. "That was a rush. I do agree. We should try the big event bright and early tomorrow. It won't be too hot or cool then."

[Evest]

Neon heads home to Evest and Myra and went to sleep.

Morning arose and she recharged on a recently fetched thundercloud . Full of energy she ran to the track to meet Lugh. "Today... Today is the day" She said to herself as she appeared on the track. "Now to wait for Lugh"

[Mortaleredwolf]

With a groan Lugh returns to the track. Sleep was just a thought to him. He was either so excited for this day or just didn't get very good sleep. Charming many golems did take a lot out of him. He gave a weak smile. "Are you ready neon!?"

[Evest]

"Ready as I'll ever be !!!" Neon said excitedly. She walks up to the start of the track and does some stretches. "Today will be the day. I can just feel it" She rears up. "3... 2... 1... GO" she thinks to herself and runs off at break-neck speed.
