Description
- Chapter 4 -Quod-hound
Racing
Sofear rode over fallen trees and dust and branches she was in a grand race known as the quod-hound racing, the rider rides a chariot with three severons in a line and one sorvus in the front, a severon is almost like a wolf but they can come in a more variety of colours also they have longer legs and can run much faster, and a severon is half horse and half wolf, it has a shape of a horse but it has wolf features, they have three hooves, nearly like a goats foot but with three hooves instead of two, they have a lions tail, a head and main like a horse but they have a muzzle like a wolf and fur like a wolf and teeth like a wolf. They can also come in all patterns, they can have stripes, spots, plain and many more.
The track is based in the forest and the track is very bumpy and their can be fallen trees you have to get over.
On Sofear’s chariot the severon at the back was sage, the severon in the middle was ramón the severon in the front was pettál and the sorvus in front of all of them was wevlong one of the best sorvuses on the track.
The chariot has a high foot stand at the front and a low foot stand on the back, the chariot only had two wheels so its hard to keep it level whilst racing, at the front of the chariot it had clips for the rains.
Quod-ra-hound racing is a very hard sport some people train for weeks and still have trouble to keep up right but the most professional racers make quod-hound racing look like a piece of cake.
Sofear loved quod-ra-hound racing and always wanted to join the cadets squad, Erin loved it to he also had his owen chariot, severons and sorvuses, the back severon was bevalong then isac then britaña and at the very front, the sorvus, was bushgo.
It was Sofear’s first big tournament and she was up against nine other racers who were all numbats from the same village, Sofear was better than some of them but some were much better than her. Although some say that Sofear is very gifted.
It was mid day at the race track and the crowed was going wild at the race, the two commentators were in their box commenting the race ‘oh and here comes Glacier up on the far side of the track… now over taking Viourious Danger, ah I don’t think he’s having a good day, Viourious danger was quite a good racer but not good today, and Glacier never normally does very good.’
‘-so the scores are… in first place at the moment it Terror commit then behind him in second is willow of them all and in third place at the moment is, Fire nick-nack’
Fire nick-nack is the name of Erin’s team and sofear’s team was called Lightning strike which bow named for her. Sofear was not doing well she was seventh place out of ten racers but sofear wasn’t worrying about whether she wins or not she was just hoping to beat Erin who was at the moment in third place.
‘oh viourious danger is not doing to good he’s moved from sixth to last and is lacking badly’
the commentator looked over, and the second commentator started speaking ‘hold on a sec, lightning strike seems to be really going for it now she’s moved up three places and is now right behind fire nick-nack and Sofear seems to have a grin on her face and Erin don’t seem too happy… holy fudge she’s head to head with Erin!’.
Sofear looked over to erin and whistled at him to get his attention ‘hi Erin!’
Erin looked over at Sofear and smiled, Sofear smirked and budged into Erin and started to tip him up slightly.
‘stop it, please!’
Erin pulled away from sofear’s chariot and nearly losses his balance, sofear just smirked again ‘oooh nearly lost your balance their!’
Sofear giggled and spoke to her team ‘lets show Fire nick-nack what we can do’
Sofear’s chariot sped up speed and raced on and moved in front of Fire nick-nack. Erin grinned ‘oh no you don’t!’
Erin gained up speed and cached up with Sofear and called out to her ‘Sofear!’
Sofear looked behind her ‘-yeah?’
Erin grinned ‘lets show old terror commit and willow of them all who is going to win this race!’
Sofear smiled ‘ok!’ sofear picked up the pace and slowly caught up with Willow of them all.
The commentators were trying to keep up with what was happening ‘how did Sofear just speed up like that?! Was she saving it, or was it a trick she’s been hiding?! right now she’s already caught up with Willow of them all’
Sofear looked at jo who was ridding Willow of them all and tuned to look in front of her again.
Erin slowly caught up aswell with willow of them all but seemed to get caught in-between both Willow of them all and Lightning strike and couldn’t get out of it, jo and Sofear shouted exactly the same thing at the same time ‘ERIN!!!’
Erin looked at sofear and jo who looked very disappointed with him.
They were looking at him disappointedly until Sofear suddenly looked in front of her and gasped ‘Erin, mind that branch!’
Erin couldn’t get free from Willow of them all and Lightning strike and move so suddenly that Sofear and jo didn’t know whether he was hit or jumped or did anything at all, Sofear and jo looked at Erin’s chariot which Erin’s sorvus Bushgo and the other three severons Britaña, Isac and Bevalong collide into each other and cause a big collision, but to see that Erin wasn’t there and sofear looked back at Jo then looked to see if he fell of the back but no one was behind them only some of the other racers, Jo and Sofear looked at each other again very puzzled. ‘I wonder were he went to then?’
Sofear turned around to the front of the chariot to see erin ridding on Wevlong ‘Erin, how?-’
Erin turned round and looked at Jo and Sofear ‘hi guys!’
Jo and Sofear just slowly put their hand up making no effort to wave, they were still puzzled ‘So- what are you planning to do now?’
Erin had to speak loudly so they could hear ’well sence Fire nick-nack is out of the race- um…’
Sofear paced her hand fowerds and backwords ‘so…?’
Erin leaned to one side ‘can I have a lift- Pleeeaaase!’
Sofear smirked ‘oh go on then’
Erin looked very pleased and leaned over to give Wevlong a pat on the neck ‘good boy Wevlong’
Sofear still looked slightly puzzled.
The commentators looked very puzzled as well as sofear and jo.
‘what is up with Fire nick-nack the severons and sorvurs are returning to the stables without a rider, hang of what’s Erin doing on Lightning strike? Why is he riding Sofear’s sorvus Wevlong I don’t know!’
The commentators looked confused but went on with the race
‘so I guess that Fire nick-nack is joining teams with Lightning strike, there is only one more lap to go out of twenty and the teams looked worn out, Viourious danger had to leave the track due to his sorvus Danger zone has a fractured rib.’
Sofear was coming slowly up to Terror commit who didn’t look like he was going to give up that easily, Erin cheekily waved and smiled at the rider of Terror commit to put him off, Terror commit didn’t pay any attention and put up the speed.
‘its seems that Lightning strike and Terror commit are head to head but who’s going to cross the finish line first?’
Both the sorvuses were neck and neck wevlong looked at slovenia the other sorvus and slovenia rammed into wevlong which made Erin wobble ‘easy wevlong!’
Erin saw the rider of terror comit knock down a dead tree which fell in front of lightning strike Erin’s eyes widened ‘Sofear! TREE!’
Erin held on tight to wevlong ‘this is gonna hurt!’
Sofear tried to break but couldn’t stop in time and crashed straight into the fallen down tree and Erin was thrown over the tree ‘ow’
Sofear go up and out the chariot and walked over to erin who was still flat out on the dirt, ‘what happened their then?’
Sofear giggled.
‘oh now what has happened to Lightning strike? They’ve crashed! Well it seems Terror commit looks happy to have one the race.
Erin got up from the dirt and looked back and saw the other racers coming in and gasped and looked at Sofear ‘we’ll have to run it!’ Erin blasted of and ran the rest of the track Sofear looked at the her sorvus and severons ‘meet up at the stables!’ wevlong nodded and sofear blasted off the catch up with Erin before the other racers caught up with her.
‘what it up which Erin and Sofear today they’ve decided to run the rest of the track, well they be lucky to win second because the other teams are at the moment five times faster than them.
Erin looked behind him, seeing Sofear desperately trying to catch up. Sofear was running like crazy and looked completely worn out, sofear came up to erin’s side and looked at him and Erin looked at her ‘alright?’ Sofear was panting like a gooden ‘yeah! I’m fine!’ erin stared at the finish and started to day dream a bit thinking of himself holding the cup, Sofear budged erin on the shoulder to wake him up a bit ‘erin! We haven’t won the cup yet!’
Erin shook his head ‘oh, right, right!’
Sofear looked behind her as the other racers were catching up and gasped ‘don’t worry Erin were almost there!’
Sofear’s legs felt like they were going to give out, willow of them all was getting close she was only about ten meters away, sofear gasped again ‘erin jump!’
Erin just did what Sofear said without a second thought and sofear leaped to just catch the finish line.
Willow of them all was just inches away from the finish line and Erin and Sofear were just neck and neck.
Erin just missed the finish line his fingers miller meters away from the finish line Sofear landed with a roll and crossed the finish line with Willow of them all by a split second coming in third place.
Sofear stood up and was cheering with joy, erin’s face was in the dirt one again but he was still cheering.
The other racers came in, many of them were cancelled out of the race because of injuries.
Glacier came in fourth followed by rock slide in fifth, the other races had injuries and one, Zelda terror got three penalties by going off track, so was sent out.
The commentators commentated the races performance ‘this race has been big! Yes, only five racers got to the finish line, in first place is Terror Commit then next up is sofear although she has seemed to work with erin, they made their minds up quickly to work together, oh and in third place is willow of them all, and behind her is Glacier in fifth.’
Erin got up from the dirt and walked towards sofear waving ‘wow second!’
sofear smiled, erin smirked ‘sofear, how did you just speed up like that?’
Sofear shrugged her shoulders ‘talent I guess’
Erin looked at Sofear very peculiar ’I’d call that more of a gift!’
Sofear grinned again and one of the commentators walked up to both Sofear and Erin with a peace of parchment ’may I ask a couple of questions for the daily south?’
Erin and Sofear nodded ‘sure defiantly!’
The commentator asked the two some questions and jotted some notes down ‘ok, ok… and are you happy to of come second?’
Sofear smiled ‘thrilled!’
The other commentator, who was also the one who hands out the prizes ringed a silver medal around Erin and Sofear’s neck, erin stared over at the rider of Terror commit who looked very pleased with himself. One of the female track workers, Ivan went to take the severons and sorvuses of Fire nick-nack and Lightning strike to their stables and boxes where they are kept, she seemed very pleased with Sofear and Erin’s performance of their first big race.
Erin looked away from the rider of Terror commit placed his arm round the back of Sofear’s neck ‘we done good today!’
Sofear looked at erin ‘yep, bow will be very pleased’

Yike, I totally thought I commented on this chapter already! Doi! Anyway, I liked it! I love the way you introduced Sofear and Erin by involving them in a chariot race, cool scene^^ I have but one thing I noticed may make the read a smidge easier, and that is just making sure you either capitalize or italicize names of racers. Like Lightening Strike or Willow of them All. I do admit I'm a little slow^^ but it would just make it a little easier for me. That aside, this is a very exciting chapter and I look forward to reading more. Keep up the great work!

yeah sometimes it can be hard to catch names but in the real thing I wrote it on microsoft word so that came out much better (I mean MUCH better!) but as I can't upload that I have to do it in DA stile (upload text) so I cant change size or anything which is a shame, but anyway at least you like it!

I totally know what you mean. Writing in DA format is like writing in Notepad or something. That's why I don't like submitting a full story here, because it takes...so...long to fix up. Anywho, I really like your writing style, and can't wait for more!
