Story: ( has no idea where it came from, but it was like write me   )
tldr:
I have dished out karma to Demetri's poo flinging ways ... The ride was hell.
* Feeds La Pluie extra carrots and a trough full of water with added electrolytes *
You have done well in your task * Pats the sweaty mare *

Wallace and Ilik Gozel had an easier run despite running through fire.

le long version:
  It had been over a year, Wallace was confident Ilik and Pluie were ready for their first official Zlesdin training event; The bonfire event. He knew Pluie had a ways to go on her personality alone before they could ever attempt the bold route with her, but he figured it would be great for Demetri to get some endurance experience as a rider. Demetri had been abrasive and annoying the entire trip to Skagen, Denmark and Wallace while he had patience and understanding, was starting to get fed up with it. Yeah,he was younger than Demetri, but Aline had put him in charge knowing full well Demetri would shirk his duties, which was exactly what he had been doing. Wallace saw the event as a small break before they would have to go back to him making sure everything was done properly and timely for the two horses' care while they were away from the stables. Demetri headed out before him on his route as it was going to take longer and Wallace was finally able to relax.
  There were many other Zlesdin owners participating this year and Wallace was glad to be able to participate this year himself with Ilik. They had been training for most of the year and he looked forward to it until Demetri spoke up. And said he was willing to go and be La Pluie's rider. He hoped those two could survive each other. They had gone on some practice rides at home to see if the two could mesh and La Pluie constantly fought with Demetri, but then she fought with everyone. Demetri knew how to safely counter attack her and wasn't afraid of the tricks she pulled. Wallace had already gained her trust and respect and didn't get much flak from her anymore and knew this was probably too big of a test for the two, but he wasn’t about to put Demetri on Ilik. Ilik and him had really bonded and while Demetri was a decent rider he had a habit of forgetting what was best for the horse and with fire in the mix Wallace was afraid of things going wrong.
  He mounted up and headed out as the sky turned moody with the sun setting behind the cloudy horizon. they passed by the church tower on their way and through the dunes around the town of Skagen towards the beach for the bonfires. several riders already had run through and where heading back. he thumbs upped a fellow riders who had thought to wear a bandana to mask out the smoke like the mask he was wearing now, the breeze was picking up and felt great after the heat of the afternoon he pushed Ilik into a faster trot to warm the stallion up for the sprint he would be doing through the fires posting along with him he could hear Demetri cursing profanities somewhere in the dunes to his left. Ilik was eager to pick up the pace, but Wallace kept him reined in until they lined up with the first fire, most of the bonfires were reaching the hot coals stage with a few new logs or branches added to keep them flaming. He saw Ilik take interest in these things as he pushed him forward. The stallion hesitated at the first one and so Wallace circled him around wide to re take it pushing the stallion to go faster and faster as they charged forward.
  Ilik now understanding that they were going to go through the hot crackling lights decided yes fast was probably a good idea and charged onward. The first bonfire went by like it was nothing, just a moment of too hot and they were through. Ilik noticed a long line of other fires and felt Wallace adjust to suggest they go through the next and so they did one after another.

   The route was almost over. Demetri could see the sand spit of Grenen just up ahead after this last dune. He relaxed for just a second at the thought of this hell ride being over. The ocean breeze was a coveted blessing at the top of the dune. he was thankful wallace lent him one of his white shirts as the day had been hot and the light material breathed nicely compared to the t-shirts he had brought along. As the sunset over the sea lost its last colors and the night with brewing thunder clouds loomed around them, He briefly looked to his right at the coast. There he saw the line of bonfires along the beach that marked the bold route.
He recognized Wallace and Ilik as they sprinted through the flames. He felt a twinge of jealousy at how cool and flawless they looked compared to the mess he was in with Pluie. She had decided early on that this was all a huge nope. He should have turned back at the first sign of trouble, but he knew the mare was just being as stubborn as he was. They had that in common and he had to respect her tenacity.   His arms and legs screamed at him as he tried to simultaneously push the mare forward with his thighs and hold her back from bolting or bucking as she had done five times already. He gritted his teeth as he felt her take it as a cue to leap off the small dune and tried to adjust to be able to stay seated as she landed. He had reflexively put his hands to brace himself on her sweaty foamy neck as she tossed her head up on landing. She snorted, recovered herself, and lunged forward before Demetri had a chance to figure out what to do next.
  Thunder rumbled in the distance and Demetri tried to save the last couple of strides in this breed sanctioned training event by getting La Pluie to at least run in the right direction and stop before they ended up in the tumultuous seas.
Somehow he made it back to the start and where the horses where to be housed for the night along with Wallace; he didn’t remember talking and Wallace had been silent too, he thought. they didn’t really get along personality wise, but Demetri tried to tone himself down a bit for the trip, he knew nobody liked him at RTS ... it was kinda hard not to tell, it normally didn't bother him and he figured so what, but he noticed he got left out of a lot of stuff he wanted to be included in. so he thought by joining and helping Wallace he could score some points toward getting included on things, but Wallace wasn't into video games or memes like himself and conversation wasn't really something he was good at. he kinda botched his attempts on the trip over too.
     La Pluie was happy to get a drink from the hose as he washed her down after un-tacking her. He winced every time he moved; his body was still screaming from how tense he had been while riding La Pluie, all he knew was that he would be sore tomorrow. It was sheer will power right now that he was still moving. The second he got to the hotel room, Demetri knew he was going to take a nice hot shower and go pass out on the bed.
   La Pluie bobbed her head up and down in impatience as he scrapped the extra water off. he then proceeded to walk her around the grounds to make sure she was properly cooled off before putting her in her stall. He noticed Wallace had already thrown her hay and grain in along with refilled both her buckets with a scoop of electrolytes in one. Thank goodness several less things to do. He looked in on Ilik who was already turned in for the night freshly bathed and munching away at his hay the grain already inhaled and a bucket of water emptied in the stallions thirst. Ah ok one thing to do... It was the least he could do.
