Sheridan took a deep breath, tail lashing behind him as he crouched low to the ground. His muscles coiled, and he was off, running as fast as he could up the hill, doing his best to dodge left and right as the lightning stuck nearby. He had to run faster, had to stay ahead of the--
ARRGG!!
The lightning had been too swift, or maybe it was that he wasn't swift enough. Reguardless he took a strike directly to the shoulder, the shock searing and radiating down his arm and knocking him off balance to send him sprawling to the ground. Jack, get up Sheridan, quickly!
He couldn't wait, pushing off with is good arm, Sheridan resumed his charge up the hill. Faster, he had to run faster!

Sheridan leapt, rolling forward in a last attempt to dodge the lightning. For a moment he thought it had missed him, maybe that particular bolt had, but the sudden jolt that crashed down on him told him otherwise.
ARRRRGGGGGGGGGGG!!
He had been thrown several feet by the lightning strike, skidding helplessly across the ground, his chest heaving heavily as he gasp for breath, his whole body feeling numb and yet on fire at the same time. It was too much, he could barely drag himself back to his feet, limping rather painfully toward the edge of the course, away from the lightning. It wasn't surrender, not when his resolve was set to try again. But for today he could not go on, he was forced to limb away from the course in defeat and try again another day.

Attempt two
Sheridan's tail twitched, he wasn't feeling any more confident about the thunder road course than he had been the day before. Thunder road, a fitting name he supposed, though he couldn't help but think it sounded like something out of a bad post apocalyptic move.
Did he really want to try this again? He wasn't so sure, but not doing so would mean admitting defeat, and while he may have done so even a few months ago, he was not especially keen on the idea of admitting defeat, especially not after all that had happened.
His resolve set (though his confidence not quite), a sigh, and a deep breath, Sheridan started up the hill.

Jack that lightning was getting closer! Summoning his strength, the dragon leapt to his feet, wings folded flat against his back, a lash of his tail and he surged forward, racing up the hill as fast as he could.
A well timed dodge, a tuck and roll forward, the strike that had been headed straight for him missed and instead struck the ground directly behind him. The clash of lightning echoed in his ears, spurning him onward, driving his legs to move faster, to run as hard as he could up that hill. It was too late to conserve energy, he had to run, he had to run fast and he couldn't stop. Even if his legs were growing tired, even though his chest heaved with his breath, he had to keep running!

He was growing tired, he could feel his legs giving out, could feel the growing sting where the lightning had struck him, the numbness that spread through his limbs. He couldn't go on much longer, perhaps only a few more steps, but he wasn't giving up!
Summoning his strength, he pushed himself onward. Just a little further, a little further and he could outrun that bolt of lightning he knew was drawing close, the electricity that he could feel standing his hair on end. Come on Sheridan, run, you can do this!

Despite his best efforts, despite the will he poured into his legs, into his body to move faster, to make it up that hill, he could not outrun the lightning. It was simply too fast, and by the time he knew it was on him, it was too late to dodge.
A resounding crack in his ears, a blinding flash, the familiar surge of electricity through his limbs as it struck him hard and sent him sprawling forward, crashing into the ground with a hard thud. It may have been merciful that the lightning had thrown him to the edge of the course, it was only a few weary steps to the side path that would lead him off the road and away from the course.
