Hermes took in the expansive runway. It easily outstripped any length of track he was used to seeing all at once, and the length seemed like something he’d much rather walk. Still though, he felt his flank twitch in excitement. He opted not to go for any of the short sprint competitions, or the relay race, because he knew he’d easily be outstripped by the speedier Runners and more dogged Chasers. But even he wasn’t the strongest puller around, and he focus...

The crashing noise didn’t raise any concern for Hermes, at first. Right then, he was simply enjoying his savory crepe filled with shredded boar meat and soft fish, and relishing the break between the numerous games available.  The fair was as lively as could be, and yells, chatter, and dings of prizes being won and thunks of games being played was standard for midday merriment.  But the raised cry of alarm was unm...

When Hermes decided to take part in the scavenger hunt, he knew it would have an easy time of it. With his keen eyes and penchant towards shiny things, he knew he’d spot the hidden gold coin out of the corner of his eye easily.  For this year and this round, the scavenger hunt was split in its prizes-- easy to find bronze coins, harder silver coins, and the coveted silver and purple gilded coin. The Gold coin guara...

It was an overcast day on the festival grounds, and Hermes was enjoying the festivities just like everyone else. The clouds covered the sun in a gray veil, but the energy of the day wasn’t dampened by the weather. If anything, it seemed to be quite busy today. Reos and their trainers alike were eager to beat the heat in any way. The games themselves were full of party-goers, all gambling and playing and merrymaking ...

Literature
Alowyn spent the day frustrated after trying the mischievous mimicry game. She hadn’t managed to find the imp and hadn’t been able to let it go. One of her final ideas to help her relax was to get some food. She wandered toward the food stalls and picked a few of her favourite sweets. She settled on the snow with her treats and sighed with every bit of the sweet pastries. She closed her eyes and tried to harness the peace she had early this morning before th...

A new day started, the sun just peeked over the horizon as the light spilled over slowly brightening the colourful streamers around the fairgrounds. Alowyn was here early, earlier than any other day she attended the fair. She wandered around enjoying the quiet and the cold air.  “Do you want to be the first of the day to try this?” A reosean called over to Alowyn.  Al...

Alowyn was at the fair on her own, she wandered the grounds she’d become fairly familiar with. She took in the lights and fluttering banners as she moved through crowds of other reoseans. She wasn’t sure what she wanted to do until she remembered seeing a petting zoo close to the entrance of the fair. Alowyn quickly turned and made her way to where she thought she had seen the small petting zoo. Sure enough, it was right where she thought it was. She stepped...

“Have you memorized the course?” Konstantin asked his sister.  She turned to him with a bewildered expression, “We have to memorize the course?!” Konstantin fell to his side laughing, he continued to laugh as he rolled around in the snow. Unlike the day they tried tug-of-war, this day was clear. The snow had a crisp crunch to it letting everyone know just how cold ...

The next day at the fair wasn’t as clear. There were dark clouds that darkened the sky and as a result, there were fewer crowds throughout the fairgrounds. When the chilled wind started to pick up snow, reoseans quickly left the fairgrounds leaving only the ones who wanted to brave the incoming snowstorm. That included Alowyn and Konstantin.  “We’re looking for a brave pair to join this contest!” A loud voice...

“It’s my turn to pick something now!” Alowyn smiled at her brother’s eye roll.  “Fine,” Konstantin threw his hands up and knew he wasn’t going to like it.  The pair moved through the snowy fairgrounds as the sun shone high above them. It was a beautiful cold Roenden day. Many reoseans moved around the fairground taking in the sights. Alowyn guided them throu...

The pair of empyrians wandered through the fairgrounds as snow lightly fell to the ground. There was a chilled breeze that gently pushed the snow and fair streamers around. The two siblings didn’t feel the Roenden cold as they looked at everything the fair had to offer but weren’t sure what to focus on.  “Come on,” Alowyn urged her brother, “This was your pick, but you're taking a long time.” ...

“Why did I come with you again?” Konstantin sighed.  “You promised to spend a couple of days at the fair with me,” Alowyn huffed as she glared at her brother.  “Yeah, but I expected games, treats, fun things… not cleaning,” He grumbled to himself as he collected more garbage into the bag he held open with his other hand.  ...

“Wow,” A voice exclaimed from behind Alowyn’s large plant, “How did you manage that?” Alowyn turned around to meet the unfocused gaze of empyrian not much bigger than she was. The light blue and brown empyrian tilted her head as if trying to hear better, but the noises of the fair really messed with her hearing. Alowyn noticed the empyrian’s blind pupils and wondered how she could tell the fruit was large....

“These are all so pretty,” Alowyn gushed as she stared down at the brightly coloured fish.  Around her the noises of the fair tried to distract her, but for once she was focused on the exotic and magical-looking fish weaving through the water. The colourful lights of the fair refracted through the water and created a glittering spectacle against the fish scales. She didn’t want to disturb them by putting the ne...

After Ember’s little food fight game, the fair was an absolute mess. Food littered the ground, the tents, stalls and even animals alike. Hardly a spot was left bare. Other reoseans that had volunteered to take care of food stalls and other fair activities would come together to clean up. It felt only fair to London and Lyon to do the same. The pair would help put tables back in their upright positions, and bring sig...

It was now midday, some thin clouds would slick across the sky. London and Lyon would be fetching a nice cold drink from one of the vendors. Paying for them before settling down to drink them. After mere moments they would be off again to the games once more, heading on up to play some. The pair would be in the middle of playing one of th...

The pair, London and Lyon, would head back towards the mass of the fair. Leaving the race tracks behind them and taking their freshly obtained ribbons with them. They both knew the fair would soon wind down to a close, but they knew they wanted to try a few last things. First they wanted to try more of the food of course, needing to regen...

London and Lyon would return to the fair the next morning, heading through the gates once more side by side. They would walk through the fair contemplating if they wanted to stop for a snack before their planned activity. The two would chat as they walked as they often did, before stopping at a stand to get some turkey jerky to snack on. They would afterwards make their way towards where the faces were held, eating th...

London and Lyon would head back to their warrenfall farm so that they could each collect a fruit or vegetable for the contest. Since they both helped out in the garden, they figured there was no problem with them each entering separately. More fair even if one entered a fruit and the other a vegetable, as it seemed to them the competition was split into fruit and vegetable categories. Lyon would head over to inspect t...
