[Gift] Festival Event: Lantern / Fireworks / Sleigh
Event: Lantern - Vesper (milkrat)
WC: 282
Terrain: Light
The festival was in full swing, hordes of people lingering in and among the bright colors, lanterns covered every street... perfect hunting ground... if your rider liked pulling pranks. Vesper sighed, immobile as people went past him, not even noticing the small dragon in their midst, for he blended in most well in this atmosphere; even more so given he had a red lit lantern nearby...though if one was to look closer, they'd notice it was just hanging there. A star pearl.... his second pearl was floating over the festival, keeping an 'eye' on his Zia.... though the cat was apt to be found were screams and shrieks occurred, and her the culprit. Still he could at least keep her from more extreme trouble.
His attention returned from the wandering lantern to his other one floating where he perched, where a small person was touching it, wonder in their expression, for his was lit not by fire like most, which meant it wasn't dangerous to touch... but it was odd..... the lantern was a part of him... Still the small ones expression meant he didn't remove it from their grasp, instead he let them look at it more closely... and preened at the comments, he was only a bit vain where it came to his lanterns.
His focus went to the other floating lantern, where his rider had.. well... a massive explosion sounded, sending that star pearl flying since he hadn't been paying attention... as Zia found the firework cache and set it off... early.... groaning, he pulled both lanterns towards him and went the opposite way of everyone else... to the carnage ... and the grinning feline who was his rider...

Event: Fireworks - Vulcan - Milkrat
WC: 265
Terrain: Light
It wasn't often that Vulcan got to fully relax, more often than not he was out on his job, and while he took it seriously, it was a demanding job.. For once though, it seemed everyone wasn't out and getting lost, rather they had all congregated on the town where a massive firework festival was in motion; the sky shattered here and there by singular fireworks that coloured the sky at various points, a build up to the massive finale that they were excited for. Still he'd made sure to be on the other end, his flames away from the firework stockpile, and he could see 'guards' also making sure any dragons with fire tendencies was nowhere near it.
Grinning he settled a bit more, his phoenix fire muted until only a soft blue flicker at his extremities, his gaze snagging on a stray small lantern that fluttered over the crowd.... before a commotion took the guards attention away... and the tent that held the mass of fireworks exploded....... and set of all the fireworks in it, the sky erupting into a sea of colour as each detonated, patterns, colors, sparks of different lengths, a massive stunning display... that would of been perfect.... if it had been set off properly and not as it had. Vulcan heaved his body, the colors glimmering on his black scales as he meandered over .... while he didn't think there had been any casualties given the commotion prior... he was still trained and could help as the sky continued to dazzle those below as the fireworks continued to go off.

Event: Sleigh - Noah - Milkrat
WC: 263
Terrain: Storm
Noah loved collecting rocks, so many shapes and sizes, colours and patterns... and in this he'd excelled himself. It had taken him days, weeks even to build the pile he had, and he was even sure some of them were gemstones... though that he'd have to get checked. Unfortunately, he hadn't quite thought of transporting them at the time.. and had ended up in a bit of quandary.. a previous hoard and no way to get them home... At least that had been until he saw the sleighs been used over the snows beyond... and while most of these contraptions were large, built to be pulled by larger dragons and beasts, he had learned they did smaller ones... and that was how he was going to transport his hoard.. thankfully the leads were long enough that he could be fastened into it when he acquired it, but meant that he had more than enough room to carefully place this collection in the sleigh. Satisfied he strained against it.... wings flapping as he struggled... for rocks were heavy... but eventually the sleigh gave on the snow trailing behind him.
It was slow at first as he got used the feel of the rather heavy sleigh behind him, but as the snow spread out beyond him he got more confident, and increased his speed, his small frame galloping across the snow covered plains, the rock laden sleigh trailing behind him.... though he knew he wouldn't be able to turn quick... it didn't matter.. in this he had the entire plain to drag the sleigh across...
