Go!!!

 Luckily when Ji-soo arrived the stable only a few horses in the front stalls were missing.

 Relieved she ran towards the fourth stall to the end to find her horse.

 "Bom!!!" she screamed when she sighted a chestnut brown horse eating hay.

 Bom had been with her since she was a child. She turned to look at the empty stall adjacent Bom's stall "Ji-woo's been here already huh" she said with a faint smile.

 She stroked Bom's mane cheerfully then let it outside carefully pulling it by its reins, she checked it's shoes and saddled it before mounting on it.

 " Bom, you have to help me win this okay? We got this !!!" 

 "Giddy up"

 "There you are" Yoorim noted when she saw Ji-soo coming towards them. The seojjog group was made of six people in total Yoorim, Ji-soo and four others.

 "Did you get the map already" Ji-soo curiously asked Yoorim.

 Yoorim nodded in affirmation and opened up the map for all of them to see.

 "First we go through the wild forest then through the singing river on a bridge then finally to the Mount Ri where we search for the jade sword" Yoorim explained aloud to the group.

 "Oouuuh!!!" Hari,the youngest female member in the group exclaimed and everyone burst in laughter.

 "On your mark !!" Seojun shouted calling on their attention holding up a red flag in his hand. 

 " Get set !!!"

 "Go" He shouted waving down the flag.

 'Niegh' the horses cried as their riders pulled thier reins and propelled them forward.

 The refreshing scent of sand wet with dews welcomed them to the wild forest, the loud galloping of horses against the dark path filled with leaves.

 The subtle chirping of the morning birds told all the day was set to break.

 Ji-soo enjoyed all of this, it all felt exhilarating to her. "Woo-hoo!!!!"

 She rode faster to catch up with Yoorim who was up infront leading the troop.

"I'm totally enjoying this, aren't you too?" She asked animatedly.

 Yoorim giggled lightly "We are not out here to have fun are we?" She playfully replied.

 "Well I and Bom are here to have fun, aren't we Bom?" Ji-soo said staring into the sunless sky slightly covered by tall pine trees stretching up creating a canopy over their heads.

 The gentle cold morning breeze rustled the leaves as it blew past.

 " Okay Bom and Ji-soo but we really have to be serious to win this competition" Yoorim chuckled.

 "On a more serious note,everyone be on alert and don't let your guard down, we never know what may happen" Yoorim sternly sounded to everyone.
