Running With The Salmon Festival

Jynn couldn't have asked for a better morning. The air was cool and the birds of spring were singing their little hearts out. She padded across the river rocks toward the rapids which raced and gurgled through the greening forest. Every so often she saw a flash of silver, a sign of the salmon swiming upstream. It was a perfect day for a little racing festival and tournament. With the help of her companions she laid out a spread of freshly caught salmon and eggs for breakfast. Once it was set up she let out a call for the racers to join her.

When everyone had assembled Jynn leapt up on a larger boulder to speak out. "Thank you everyone for coming! For those that may not know my name is Jynn. I don't have any fancy pack affiliates, just a loner looking for some fun and friendly folks to celebrate this wonderful spring day. Feel free to partake of the breakfast spread.  An hour after we'll begin the races. Please be mindful of the rapids as well as potential predators like bears." No doubt the smell of the breakfast was already wafting through the forest.

"The first round pairs are as follows:

Ricin vs Bailan
Paradise vs Nami
Marchosias vs Morax
Sybil vs Sayuri
Torben vs Audra
Lucette vs Ciannait


We'll race up the west side of the river. Tahmores," she gestured to her Ethiopian Wolf companion, "Will start off the races here. My jaguar Saevor is waiting at the north end of our trail to mark the winners. Let me know if you have any questions before we begin. Otherwise dig in!"
