Riohorse Rank up exam [D ----> C]
At the base of what was most likely the tallest cliff in the Phoenix Mountain region, Shuhei sat with his legs crossed near a fire over which he was frying some premium cuts of bacon, cut from the sides of the giant wild boars of Shadow Island. A delicacy that can only be enjoyed with a side of eggs. Which, for some reason Shuhei had not brought. As a man of fine taste, Shuhei would require at least one egg but preferably two, to be able to enjoy such a fine delicacy brought to him all the way from Shadow Island. Luckily, the song of a majestic wild Phoenix Hawk rang softly through the white wizards ears. Even though the Phoenix Hawk, known for its ruby red plumes had one of the most terrifying squawks known to man, the Hawks were renown throughout Fiore for producing the most wonderfully tasting eggs which were highly sought after on the count of them being extremely difficult to acquire. Phoenix Hawks could not survive in captivity so their eggs had to be snatched from the nest in the wild and this was of course that time of the year, when the Phoenix Hawks stayed close to their nests which were often very well hidden on the sides of mountainous cliffs, which ran either straight up, or on an outward slant. It took a climber of great skill to be able to reach one of those nests, or at least a Slayer of the Dragon sort whom possessed the element of earth and green hair and was a girl from Blue Pegasus...
Shuhei stared at Freya with a smile as he explained to her the details of her exam. If Shuhei could not enjoy his breakfast of fine Shadow Island Bacon, then his mood would be ruined and she would ultimately fail her exam. So she would have to conquer her fear of heights and scale the steep cliff side to reach the Phoenix Hawks nest near the center of the cliff, snatch an egg and fend off the mother hawk (Without kill her, because that would be cruel.) Climb back down the cliff and return the egg to Shuhei intact, BEFORE his bacon finished cooking. Luckily though Shadow Island Bacon was quite thick and the temperature in the Phoenix Mountains was quite cool, which would mean that near the egg it would be almost freezing... "Good luck!" Shuhei said casually as if there were no danger, smiling and waving, anticipating a very fine breakfast. (Which he most likely would not share afterwards.)
Mission Parameters:
#1: Retrieve the egg and return it to Shuhei without breaking it.
#2: Do not harm the mother Hawk.
#3: You may use any means necessary to scale the cliff and to get back down so long as the first two rules are not broken.
#4: Your limit (NOT MINIMUM) is one thousand words and 3 posts. Go over that and Shuhei's bacon will have cooked and you fail.
#5: I'm looking for creativity, not quantity in your posts.
