Aeolus watches wide-eyed with fascination as the others present. Some of them are very clever. However, he wasn’t too keen on the invention of a sleeping material that Lepis made. He figures his mom would like to get her hands on that.
When everyone is done presenting, Tir teleports them outside for their next assignment. Aeolus isn’t quite sure about the math part, but he figures he could at least do well when it came to the physical part.
The young boy looks around to the other students that are gathered. His purple ears swivel back in forth in confusion as he listens to other students discuss. Some of them gather in pairs or more. Aeolus begins to feel left alone. He glances around, somehow, he had missed seeing the other colt. Quickly, he moves to meet the buckskin. “Hi there! I’m Aeolus. Do you wanna be my partner!? What’s your name?” He asks bright-eyed. The buckskin colt smiles warmly back at him and says, “Sure! I’m Benny the Buckskin or just Benny! What is the plan?” Aeolus begins to discuss the plan.
Once their planning is finished, Aeolus and Benny grab their own buckets and scoop 4-hours worth of water. The duo quickly heads down trail-1 at a walking pace of 4 mph for the first hour. Aeolus and Benny marvel at the different rocks and crevices at the beginning of the trail. Both are thirsty along the way and drink a bit of their water. Aeolus decides to refill Benny’s bucket to full and his is at half-full.
During the second hour, Aeolus decides to trot ahead (8 mph) to get a better look while Benny continues to walk. After trotting for a while, Aeolus notices the land begins to narrow across a deep crevice. There is a thin rock structure (like a bridge) connecting one end to the other. The boy gulps loudly as he comes near the edge. He decides to not take another step forward. Aeolus turns towards the bridge and decides to cross it slowly. He is cautious with each step because he knows one misstep will likely lead him to his death—and he barely has lived his life! Inching forward Aeolus keeps his bucket firmly in his mouth. Step by step, he eventually makes it over to the other side. A loud squeal of excitement leaves his lips and he quickly trots forward. Aeolus becomes thirsty during the second hour and drinks some of his water (1/4 of water left) and Benny drinks some as well (3/4 of water left).
The third hour begins to roll around, Aeolus can feel his limbs starting to shake from all the trotting he has been doing on the craggy ground, but he presses on. He knows he is a good runner (even if it might just be all in his head). Aeolus continues to trot during the third hour towards the end of the trail (he can see the other water source that Tir had mentioned). The purple colt leaps forward with excitement as he continues his trotting pace. However, his front legs give out as soon as he lands. Aeolus quickly falls forward face first. “OUCH!” He screams, feeling his face all smashed against the ground. Aeolus gets up and shakes his head. He knows he will have a couple of bruises later that will need to be explained to his mom. The boy rolls his eyes at the thought of his mother’s reaction when finding out. Aeolus shakes off the dirt once more before heading towards the finish line. He refills his bucket from the pool. Benny becomes thirsty during this hour and drinks some water (2/4 of water left).
During the fourth hour mark, Aeolus walks back to recover from all the trotting he had been doing earlier. He drinks some of his water (3/4 of water left). His scrawny limbs began to ache from all the physical exercise, but he doesn’t waste anytime to meet Benny again. “I thought I’d never see you again!” He says and the two boys chuckle. Benny has 1/4 of water left in his bucket, so Aeolus shares some of his water with Benny leaving them both with a half bucket of water left (2/4). “We better hurry up; we don’t have a lot of time left!” Benny says, and Aeolus nods his head in agreement. Benny and Aeolus decide to walk the remainder of the way for the last hour.
“There is the finish line!” Aeolus says when he sees the familiar landmarks. Both colts let out joyous neighs. Making the final stretch to the end was hopeless though—suddenly a large scorpion appeared coming towards their way. It was the same size as them! Benny screamed loud (Aeolus would have giggled since Benny sounded like a filly), but he was also too busy screaming too. The scorpion comes, snapping its larger pinchers and its stinger high (ready to attack!). Aeolus ran to the right while Benny stood like a deer in headlights. The scorpion ignored Aeolus and went straight for Benny. Aeolus snorted angrily and quickly turned around and charged at the scorpion. When he was near, he quickly reared up and smashed his front hooves onto the scorpion’s stinger who was too busy snapping his pinchers ready to make Benny the Buckskin it’s next meal. The scorpion screeched loudly as its stinger was cracked and quickly hurtled away from the two colts.
Aeolus smiles widely at Benny who was now huddled into a small ball crying. “Stop crying, you little girl. It’s gone now!” He laughs. Benny peeks up and notices the scorpion was gone. He stands up and wipes away his tears. “I wasn’t crying, you baby.” Aeolus shakes his head and smiles wider. “Alright, baby. Let’s finish this now!” Aeolus and Benny finally cross over to the finish with their buckets that both have 1/4 of water left, hoping to find Tir waiting.
