Balerion shoots ahead in the forest apparently with his strategy paying off. Callie falls a bit behind the dragon but still ahead of Logo who has also had difficulty navigating through the trees.

The troll fumbled, trying to keep buttered bread attached to a cat's back while swinging an axe less-than-propitiously-located trees.
He barely noticed the Puck-riding dragon diving even lower but an unusual scent drew his attention.
"Izza suspiciousy-like smellin' burneded pine, rounds here."

The troll leaned backward pulling Snack above the trees to in preparation for some gravity-assist in the race's next leg.

From his last-place position Logo hoped Callie could hear him as he bellowed, "izza turn a'comin
Getta a'readish Nodwin!
"

Callie was so busy singing that she forgot she was racing. Not that the tiny toddler really cared about winning or anything, she was just enjoying being in the air with Nodwin and her friends. In fact, Callie was so excited to be in the air flying with her friends that Callie had Nodwin slow down a little bit so her friends could catch up. It was no fun singing by herself, and if she was far ahead of them, they couldn't sing with her or enjoy her singing. Now we all know that would not do for the darling diva. So it was no surprise when Balerion passed her, nor was it that Logo was catching up in a great hurry. And what did our pint sized princess do? Why she waved and giggled and bounced on Nodwin's back, making her curls dance up and down on her head in the wind while she continued her song. Fwwwwyyyyiiiinnnnnggggg, wwooookkkk fwwwyinnnnggg wif fweeeeendddsssshhhhh issshhhh funnnn. We fwwwyyyinnnnggg wiffff Wooooggooooo an dwaaggggooooonnnnn fffwwweeennddssss. YAaayyyyy, fwwyyy hiiiiiiii innnnaaaa ssskkkkyyyyyy.

Now since Nodwin was the one doing the real work, Nodwin paid a bit more attention to detail than Callie. Nodwin did Nodwin's very best to weave through the trees at the speed Nodwin knew Callie liked to fly, slowing down for some of the sharper turns between trees that were closer, since Nodwin knew going above the treetops might lead to the pint sized passenger on Nodwin's back falling, which wouldn't do at all since Nodwin happened to think Callie was the fabulous child that everyone else was learning whether they wanted to or not. Nodwin considered Callie to be Nodwin's child, and Nodwin would never do anything that might harm her. So when Logo called out to Nodwin to get ready for a turn, Nodwin did just that. Nodwin looked around, figured out where the turn was coming up, and made sure Callie was still holding on so she wouldn't fly off Nodwin's back on any hairpin turns approaching.

Balerion laughed seeing Callie singing like a little drunken lunatic. He had always thought she was a rather cute hairy little thing. As he passed her he shouted Have fun at the waterfall! Smiling he continued in his dive low to the earth knowing the turn ahead would lead to the Rainbow Falls in which the dazzling light display could catch many off guard and make them lose their way.

Balerion is the first to reach the rocky waterfalls and is stunned for a moment by the bright lights. After a few minutes he manages to find the right waterfall to dash under. Logo's mount struggles in the water spray and barely manages to make it while the troll takes much time to find the right path. Callie dashes ahead managing the mists rather well but also taking much time to seek out the right path to take.

Balerion just barely manages to come in ahead of Callie by a wings length and both wait and have snacks before Logo arrives riding on Snack.

Puck I knew you could do it! Balerion congratulates his Griffon while part of him would have enjoyed seeing Callie win as she had always enjoyed the hippogriffs so much. It had been why he had given her one as a present oh so long ago. Balerion offered Callie some cake with some cold milk to wash it down. How did you like the race? It feels like it has been forever since we last had one of these. Oh wait... it has been. Balerion laughs. Seeing Logo race down the runway having went fast the last leg after finally making it through the more perilous part of the race Balerion shouts at him, Better luck next time! You look like you are almost getting old! There will be another race in a few days and for the next one if you win you can get an emerald as the prize.
