by The wheels were spinning wildly across the sand, carrying the rather shabby chariot led by two brown horses. Lee stood inside it, reins wrapped around her forearms tightly, but not too tight. Just enough for her to slip her arms out quick in case something happened. Her short hair was flattened on her head by the wind and she pulled the reins to the left, the chariot skirting the pole to the point of almost brushing it. The wheels creaked. Lee gave the rein a small impulse to make the horses go faster, their galloping pace lengthening even more. She could feel their hooves thundering in the fragile floor of the chariot.
The makeover the Aphrodite girl gave her hadn't quite gone away: the top of her black hair was still died a bright, vibrant turquoise and the make-up was still discretely shadowing her eyes with a shimmering honey brown. She had currently discarded the fashionable clothes they had given her (even though she had kept them for future occasions), replacing them with a simple white tank top and denim shorts, her beaded necklace bouncing on her collarbone.
She pulled on the reins after she passed the finish line, the horses slowing down into a trot, then a normal pace. Lee wiped the sweat from her forehead and blinked the sand out of her eyes.
"Yes!" she exclaimed after checking the chronometer. "One minute twenty-two!"
