Ethan looked up, seeing the familiar colors of Castor's stomach. He whistled up at her with a grin, Zeus lifting up to fly in line with her. "Having fun?" He had to yell over the blinding wind.

"Lots of it!" She grinned at him, likewise yelling over the wind. Castor ducked under Zeus and did a graceful roll, pulling up on the his other side. Castor fought forward and pulled ahead of Zeus and Ethan, flying downward so they were just above the forest canopy.

Ethan followed them with his eyes and an even smile. "Showoffs!" He said, lowering to her level, Benji was gaining on them. The town showed up very quickly and they now approached it, Zeus dove for the flags, Ethan prepared himself for the flinging feel of a barrel roll. And there he went. Spinning above the barrel where the Flags were. He swiped one as they flung overhead and swooped back into the sky, following the trail markers again.

Castor tuck his wings and dove, hard. He opened his wings a little too close too the ground for most people's comfort, tucking the wing closest to the ground and keeping the other open as he tilted sideways, letting her snatch a flag before evening out again and flying hard to compensate for uneven wing placement. They caught up with Ethan and Zeus again as Benji went suddenly rocketing past. "Its in this crazy ass blood of mine!" She shouted at Ethan.

He turned around to watch her, grinning as she shouted. "Sure it is!" He said as Rome and Iph were just flying upside down completely. He pointed so Asta would see. He told Zeus to go faster just to spite her.

She grinned at Rome and ushered Castor on so he pulled even with them, and then directly in front, doing a barrel roll before flying upwards and keeping position above them.

Ethan rolled his eyes and watched. Benji was very close to in line with Rome, who was almost directly behind Ethan. They came up to the cabin faster than the last one, Ethan banked quickly and darted back, people were filtered out behind them, some taking their sweet time. The younger people- some their age from the school, Rome, Ethan, Benji and Asta- weren't. Neither were his dad and uncle, right up Rome and Benji's tail.

She searched for a moment before seeing the cabin, diving Castor down quickly and doing a graceful roll to snatch a flag before climbing back up to their previous altitude, following the markers closely.

They only needed the one flag from the sanctuary, they drop the flags they grabbed on their way past the sanctuary and go around town to grab it again to complete the race)) Benji was in line with Rome finally, and gaining on those in the lead. Ethan glanced around, Benji's smaller dragon was beating Zeus. Somehow Jashine- Benji's dragon- managed to avoid whatever had affected many of the other dragons. Zeus was still wearing off some of his wounds from the incident, but still wanted to fly for the race anyway.
