When the brown and white stallion turned to face her, Stormsong noted that his eyes bugged out for a moment, he seemed rather distracted. He smiled before replying "I'm fine, miss, but I don't know about me pal here yet. He got his tail caught under one of these fallen rocks. Hope he's alright to continue racing. Name's Mojo, pardon me while I do some investigation." She was relieved to hear that nopony had been hurt in that rock slide, though it concerned her greatly that he seemed to think that it wasn't an accident. Was somepony really so determined to win the race that they would risk injuring, or even killing the their competition to ensure victory? "Pleasure to meet you Mojo. I'm... um... my name's Stormsong. What exactly do you mean by- eep!" Stormsong cut herself off when Mojo suddenly kicked a baseball sized stone up the mountain. What shocked her even more was the scream of pain that followed shortly thereafter, coming from whoever the pegasus above was yelling at. A couple white feathers floated down from the mountain as even more ponies showed up, among them another pegasus and her new friend Holly Dash. They, too, were yelling at the one who was out of Storm's view above, the one who had presumably caused the rock slide. While most of the rest of the ponies around her were concerned with yelling at the cheater, Stormsong took some time to wonder about those feathers. The only one she could remember seeing in the race with white feathers was that griffon that Holly had run into by accident back in the woods. Could that griffon really have been so upset about such a small accident that she would try to crush Holly to get revenge? Stormsong's train of thought was interrupted when she felt something on her shoulder and jumped, looking off to her side as she did so. Holly had put her hoof on Storm's shoulder, and was saying "I am SO glad that you're alright, I--I don't know what I'd do if my very first friend was hurt..." Holly's smile was so bright that Stormsong couldn't help but to smile back, relieved that Holly hadn't been caught up in the rock slide herself. Before she could say anything though, Holly continued on, "I'm sorry I left you, but... I can't let her win." before letting out a cry and charging off. Stormsong heaved a sigh before setting off on her trot again, carefully avoiding bits of rock that had fallen into the path that might trip her up.
