[I]1 p.m.[/I]

After several minutes and getting a tray of snacks to himself he set on the white cloth-covered table, Lorenzo eyed the race track with a satisfied grin. The racers were ready.

[Color=salmon]“Kier, I think it's time but finish your nibbling my dear friend. I can handle the rest”[/color] Kier was indulging in the diced salami on the tray, something Lorenzo couldn't interrupt. He grabbed the megaphone once more and stepped away from the table and towards the track while digging into one of his pockets. From it, he pulled out a sheet of paper with a scribbled list on it. 

[Color=salmon]“Ladies and gentlemen, take your seats as the race will be starting in mere moments!”[/color] He looked at the sheet with focus before shaking his head at what was written. On the paper was the name of the horses participating in the race but he wasn't very excited to be calling out what was listed. He had to be a showman this evening and he couldn't do that with names like these. Discarding the paper to the ground, he dug into his pocket again, this time pulling out a gold flask with the image of a bouquet engraved into one of its sides. Tucking the megaphone under his arm he opened it up and took a good swig of its contents.

His eyes shut momentarily as the elixir went down smoothly. 

[Color=salmon]“Perfect.”[/color] He said softly before placing the flask back into his pocket and taking a firm hold of the megaphone. [Color=salmon]“Alright, before we begin this magnificent test of speed and endurance, we need to announce and celebrate our participants. With the betting tables closed, ensure you retain your tickets! I typically keep mine in my breast pocket to be safe! It's the safest pocket in my opinion! And speaking of opinions! I see many wonderful hats! The competition is fierce! But, before we get to that, we have a race to watch!”[/color] Lorenzo pointed toward the start line. 

[Color=salmon]“In lane one we have…. the elegant, the brave, the heartbreaker… Dastardly Daphodile!”[/color] People looked on in slight confusion as Lorenzo literally renamed the first horse.

[Color=salmon]“In lane two! We have the majestic… hoof beater, the sour apple eater… Drummer Boy Jack!”[/color]

[Color=salmon]“In lane three! Oh! It's her! The one horse to rule them all… the fierce, the powerful Empress Victoriaaaaaa!”[/color]

[Color=salmon]“In lane four… And I don't think I've seen him before. He's dark with the eyes of a tiger! Harder to break than steel! The knight of night… Sirrrr Ominous Dominus Black"!”[/color]

[Color=salmon]“In lane six! The beautiful… the charming darling of the kingdom… and maybe even King Danrose himself…. Edin's Finest Mistress!”[/color] His eyes finally fell on Lyra and Lady Avarice, two he was somewhat familiar with, which only filled him with more excitement. Good or bad, he'd give them the biggest introduction yet.

[Color=salmon]“And finally in lane six! In lane six?! Excuse me, everyone, I think we have a bit of a celebrity here! And I don't mean you, General Carris!”[/color] The duke chuckled. Lorenzo was primed. [Color=salmon]“Everyone knows her as Lady Avarice but those in the horse's inner circle like Kier and I know her true name! A name I'll reveal right here and now for like her rider, this horse is more than meets the eye! IN LANE SIX! THE FAMOUS! THE GRACIOUS! BUT ALSO DEADLY! QUEEN TULIP THE BITCH-SLAYERRRRR!”[/color] Lorenzo raised his arms with enthusiasm.
