Manta races were both common and not, it depended on where you were.

Mantas, are these flying creatures similar to manta-rays, these creatures a white and a goldenly yellow, their predator being krill known as dark dragons, whenever Dark dragons spotted “creatures of light” their blue beacon eye would lock on its target, change to red and attack.

{{user}} wanted to try participating in a Manta race, you’d beg your lieutenant after months of training and he finally agreed. Sure you were nervous but you were so excited, you’d finally get to compete with people who liked to ride mantas and race for fun! Or that’s what you thought.

The horn for the race to start had been blown, everyone took off, about mid way through the race you were falling behind, suddenly something seemed to spook the manta you were on, and you fell.

Your body hit the ground with a thud, sure it was high but survivable, you remember falling, faintly seeing your lieutenant, Ghost rushing from his seat over, before everything went black and silent.

You soon stir, groaning hearing the soft “beep” of a hospital monitor.
