Cris was the expert with horses and she was most decidedly........not. The decision was made though and she would have to make the best of it.
Jasmine reached for the reins and held them firmly in her hands. Leaning forward she softly addressed the Abraxan. "Hi there handsome. My name is Jasmine and you are my new best friend. I'm kind of new at this so I'm going to need your help. If I ask you to do something and you think it's crazy, do what you think is best. We're going to try and win this race so give it all you've got and I will too." Jasmine smiled when the horse tilted his head as if he understood what she was saying.
"Everybody ready?", Jasmine asked her protectors. "Here we go." Jasmine gave the reins a little yank and they were off. Her horse started slowly, but began to pick up speed until he was going at what Jasmine thought was a pretty good speed. They raced along without a problem, but Jasmine knew that it couldn't last for long. She kept her eyes peeled for.......she didn't know what, but she wanted to be ready for anything.
Cris waited as Jasmine and Norah got onto the carriage before he handed the reins over to Jasmine. Climbing onboard, he sat next to Jasmine and waited for her to coax the Abraxan into a gallop.
"
I'm ready. Yeehah!" Cris replied as he held on placed his feet firmly on the floor of the carriage and held on tight to the seat he was sitting on, with his fingers.
"
Straight Ahead, Jasmine," Cris gestured to Jasmine. "
Whoa!! WATCH OUT!!" Cris called out desperately in warning when he realized that their path wasn't clear after all. Out of nowhere, they were being bombarded by...
Snowballs!!
Cris had no problem being pelted by them, but it just made it more hazardous for Abe....yes that was the name he has given the horse...and Jasmine, who handling the reins.
Whipping out his wand, Cris waved it in a sideways V formation and let fly the Reductor spell. "
Reducto...Reducto," he called out the incantation as he cast the spell at the oncoming snowballs.
SPLAT!!
Bits of ice, snow and water flew all over the place, some splattering Cris in the process, but all he felt was wet. "
We're Clear!" he called out to Jasmine as he continued to keep a close watch out for more obstacles.
