Our hero is using a portable viewing device to zoom in on the race. The tour de Gwendilock attracts athletes from around the world, from all three continents. The Sky Realm, Gwendilock and the Granite Mountains. Eight teams consisting of all three humanoid races, some stick to there races, some are mixed. The first leg of the race is an underwater fluid thrashing of a frigid water way. Crossing a small sea about the size of the Black Sea, but not so deep and not as much salt. Contestants must navigate a giant coral reef than circumvents 20 separate caves, all while trying to avoid Belji Stingark with many tentacles that can grab and sting you. The Belji Stingark is an ancient creature of the depths. It measures over 40 feel long, with body of a string ray and the head of a shark. All racers will be equipped with aqua gear, including webbed gloves which could be sticky or send out an electric shock. Next, are the robotic flippers that exude electric pluses for quicker propulsion through the water. The second leg of the race is a forest moto cross, with high powered speeder bikes keeping a warry watch for Elder Thropes. Elder Thropes have dominated the forest for hundreds of years. They are large wolves created my magic and are believed to have skin as hard as tree bark. They also love to hunt down racing contestants. It is said, they have one weakness, loyalty, if you can get a an Endertrop to trust you, they will they will follow you forever. The last and most challenging is the shortest leg. Up cliffs and snow boarding down sand no racer had ever tried to use tech or magic combined to gain a lead without awaking the Grulog which is a large energy starved Beatle that feeds on energy and lives at the apex of the course at large.

Stolen story; please report.

Mean while, back at beginning of the race, Xinchar was minding his own business, but getting bullied by his staunchest rival. Roreduck almost spat,” Hey Xinchin think you can keep up this time”. “Roreduck, I got something that will curl your toes”, XIN said in an almost friendly tone. “It's not that present for your girl friend, is it?” Roreduck said loudly so all the races could laugh out loud. Xin smiled, “It you make past my dust, you may catch a glimpse of see me dominating”.

Everyone straightened there jaw the race was about to start. 3 2 1 goo...all the racers done into the tiny sea to look for there 20 cave check points.

Now, above the surface younger fans were pretending to fish. “You know this charge really should be illegal”, one little fisherman was saying. I second fisherwomen turned in kind, “Well I always wondered what would happen if I detonated It during the Gwendilock Prelims. The first fisherman dropped what looked like a small black box into the water way. Ceege...the electric pulse shot through a large portion of the Sea. The water started to bubble and churn...suddenly a giant shape the size of a large barge emerged and swallowed the vessel whole. Then it stated toward the race.

The race was underway and Xin was equipped with tech to be in constant contact with Peerdrid and Jurvan. He had all ready went through 10 check points and was headed for the 11th. There were only 50 caves so some racers had so share check points. All of a sudden, the bully.

Start of race will be under water with large mouth to cave with force field holding but water yet able to let racers enter the race from inside.
