The misty morning in the Tartok Foothills was cold, but it didn’t seem to bother the young rider and his large long maned dark lilac tokota as they rode though dew-soaked grass to finish their last task to finally get Okja’s breeding rites done. Okja snorted steam from his nose and tossed his head anxiously wanting to get the task started only to be held back by his rider. Neo grasped his reins tightly a bit nervous due to not knowing what stamina, speed or even if they were normal or other dires but he knew that the Black had it in him to catch all three within the allotted time they were given. Checking his lasso one more time they waited for the three tagged tokotas to be released and elude them giving the task more difficulty which made his mount more amped up. Before the signal was given to them to start it gave Neo, time to check his stirrups and ready himself for the chase. He allowed the large tokota to circle to help keep him from getting any more amped up then he already was remaining in control. Men led the three tagged tokotas far from where their participant waited and released them into the landscape letting them scatter increasing the difficulty in finding all three. Once the lilac tundra barbary maned tokota named Sky dancer‘s halter was slipped off, she galloped toward the farthest place she could to avoid being caught.
Next Captain Levi’s tokota was released and the black tokota charged forward and disappeared into the landscape as if he was there one moment then gone. He showed the very reason why Levi had chosen this tokota to be his mount from speed, agility and stamina. His name was Tempestade or Tempest for short because his speed resembled the wind of a violent storm. The tokota snorted and tossed his head wildly as he trotted through the Tartok Foothills and only stopped to get a drink of water from a nearby stream. Tempestade was soon joined by the white female tokota Kira where they wandered together now ready to make it difficult for Neo and Okja to capture them. All three tokotas had been released and the starting gun was fired sending the rider and mount charging into the Tartok Foothills to find and capture the three tagged tokotas. Neo urged the Black forward and they galloped through the grassy landscape searching for their quarry allowing him to ready his lasso and scan the landscape for any sign of movement. They only managed to flush out a large flock of birds that took to the sky as they charged through them. Neo spotted Tempest in distance and charged toward them making sure they were upwind of him and attempted to drive the tokota out of his hiding place and capture him. Tempest didn’t see them coming until they were nearly on top of him and the two tokotas charged along the landscape crossing through soft grass through solid stone to Artic fields.
The boy removed his lasso and then let it fly toward the fleeing tokota and the loop found it’s mark around his neck and he yelped in distress as he thrashed trying to get the rope off but no avail. He wrapped the end of the rope around his saddle horn keeping tension on it, so he couldn’t slip out of it, but he soon gave in and trotted over to them allowing Neo to slip his halter on with a lead rope attached to it. “Good job Black” Neo praised his lilac black tokota with an encouraging pat on his neck. They headed back to where they thought the two remaining tokotas were leading Tempest behind them from a lead rope tied to the back of the saddle. The Survey Corps. tokota kept up with them with ease as they galloped the way they had come when Neo spotted Kira standing out in the open her white fur making her stand out like a sore thumb and they moved toward her lasso in hand once more. But Kira saw them and trotted away and then moved into a gallop to try to avoid capture. Behind her Neo steered the dire after her in a canter, but she had slipped away from them leaving them in nothing but snow and ice-cold stone, “Damn she gave us the slip” he said slowing Okja down to a stand still. His rider sighed and looked around for the albino tokota though he knew she could easily hide in the snow around them. They spent time searching for the next tokota that amazingly eluded them. “I knew we should have caught Kira first.” then thought for a moment realizing something, “All I need to do is look for the green tag attached to her ear and that might be the way to find her.”
He sat in the saddle and then howled as loud as he could seeing if he could locate the direction the next tokota was in, so he could draw her out and catch her. Kira a distance away stopped ears perked as she heard a howl in the distance and she let out a response not knowing that responding was leading her into a trap, but she howled anyways unintentionally announcing her location. As soon as Neo heard the response howl, he urged Okja forward in that direction making sure they remained downwind of Kira to catch her by surprise to make sure she couldn’t elude them again. They ghosted her until she was in a good position to launch their plan into action keeping their distance. Neo readied his lasso in hand and tapped his heels into his tokota’s side signaling Okja to move forward and they charged toward Kira whooping loudly to get her moving starting the next chase between the rider and his mount and the tokota who had eluded them. The two chased Kira over several miles and finally when they could get close enough to lasso the tokota and the loop landed over Kira’s head and he had Okja back up putting tension on the rope to keep her from escaping. Realizing that she couldn’t escape Kira just stood there allowing Neo to slip her halter on and tie the lead rope to the back of his saddle and ready himself for the last tokota where he knew she was hiding.
Before he went to catch his last tokota he brought the two captured tokotas Tempestade and Kira to a rocky place he felt that he could leave them tied away from one another making sure that the halters were secure, so they couldn’t escape. Neo climbed into his saddle again and set off in a canter searching for Sky dancer who he knew was somewhere in the rocks across the Tartok Foothills and headed to where they last spotted the alpha Lilac barbary. He wondered if they could flush her out of her hiding place by whooping loudly hoping to cause her to run from them. He urged the Black to gallop holding his lasso in hand while he held the reins with his other and whooped loudly only to turn up with nothing, but that didn’t stop them from continuing and finally Sky dancer dashed out into the open and the chase began. Neo and Okja chased Sky dancer across the foothills attempting to get close to her enough to lasso but she managed to keep out of range but the lilac long mane dire kept up with her. They charged after the barbary trying to drive her into a dead end to make sure there were no possible way she could escape.
Sky dancer tried to get past Okja but the dire blocked her escape, but Neo decided that it was easier to just lasso her instead of driving her into a dead end and risk being bitten by a cornered tokota. He let the lasso fly and it landed around the tokota’s neck and pulled it tight making Sky dancer thrash violently yelping in surprise not allowing Neo to get close to her. He kept the rope taught by wrapping his end around the saddle horn and using his heels to maneuver Okja to keep the alpha tokota from slipping out of the lasso until she was too tired or just simply gave up. After an hour Sky dancer just stood there panting and gave up allowing Neo to put her halter on and led her to the two others where they returned to the judges with the captured tokotas. He led the Black back to their trailer and cleaned up and pulled the tokota’s tack off and loaded him into the trailer heading home.
