Despite harrowing tales form the other competitors, ultimately, it is a close competition between him, and the Pitaxan representative - but, ultimately, the judges agree that his story was the better of the two, and his kingdom takes their second first-place win.<br/><br/>Cynthia had been running the Pitax representatives ragged, attempting to get the setup adjusted in such a way as to be fair to her and the other riders. Fortunately, there was plenty of magic available for the process, and, ultimately, the 'rider' was probably some wizard's thesis project, given how creatively and hurriedly it had been enchanted, to function like a real rider, carrying a shield, that would, roughly, respond to her movements. It was a marvel of magical engineering, and if it wasn't for the fact that the enchantments would fall apart in less than a week, it would be a true marvel. As it was, it was merely an impressive piece of spellwork and creativity, and was enough that, while not exactly entirely happy, Cynthia was begrudgingly willing to accept this 'handicap', to let the lesser beings compete against her.
