Alright! I found some time. Here is Rita, Auds next!

RITA

'''Today was going to be a busy day, leading into a busy weekend. There was another trial today, and then Aud and I were going to begin to build our new house. Kate had been a wonderful hostess and a great friend to us, but with all that was happening in her situation with the Harns right now, we figured it was time to clear things up for her a bit. '''

'''I woke up this morning and I hopped out of bed to shake Aud awake and then saunter downstairs for breakfast. Kate was nowhere to be found, so we just grabbed a quick cup of yak milk and headed out the door to the trials.'''

“You excited?” Aud asked me.

“I don’t know, nervous of course, but….I guess I just have alot on my mind.”

“You mean dad?” she prodded.

'''My fists clenched together as I let a small tear roll down my cheek. “Yea,” I slowly whispered. Aud just proceeded to wrap her strong arms around me and hugged me as we walked. She sighed and proceeded to say,'''

'''“I know, I know...We’ll get through this, but let’s focus on one thing at a time, or should I say trial,” she finished while eying the trial grounds up ahead. I wiped my eyes and smiled. We entered the crowded grounds and took our place among the other initiates. I smiled at our friends and then focused on Freygair.'''

'''“Today will be the day of your final trial. This Trial is the one where we will judge whether you are worthy enough to become a Guardians. However, I promise it will be the final one.” Freygair announced.'''

'''Myself and all the other initiates breathed a sigh of stress and relief all mixed together. Aud just folded her arms and rolled her eyes, obviously not scared or nervous, and quite bored. Freygair continued to explain that we had to pair up into two teams and race against each other to complete the obstacle course. I immediately knew I wanted to be with my friends, so as soon as the instructions were completed, I raced with Aud to get in my favored group. Soon myself, Aud, Aiden, Katina, Isla and Ar were all together. '''

'''“Wait, where is Kate?” I inquired. Then Aiden spotted her and called her over.'''

'''“It will be soooo AWESOME! I hope it has lots of danger!” Aud giddily said. I swear to Thor danger to her is like cake for a kid. I just rolled my eyes and smiled while patting Nebbie, mostly for comfort. Kate joined our group, and we began to choose our positions. Aud and I were assigned to the very beginning, while the others to their spots. As soon as we were ready, I hadn’t a moment to think before the race began. I darted forward pushing all my energy into giving us a good head start. I breathlessly handed the baton to the confident looking Aud who ran with a flaming spark beside her to hand it off to Aiden. He then ran up the climbing wall with Storm Could and passed it to Ar. She zealously zipped through the monkey bars and handed it to Kate. She breathlessly ran forward trying to dodge the arrows. My heart stopped as I saw her get shot and scream in pain. Though despite it she continued the course and our team erupted into cheers for her. Then Isla jumped in to finish the dodging, seeing that Kate needed help and they ran through to where sniper was able to shoot the required target. Then the baton was passed to Katina who was a pro as she jumped through the hurdles. I tensed up as she neared, and then...SHE WAS THROUGH! Myself and the other initiates besides Katina and kate quickly flew to the finish line. As soon as I got there I looked back to watch Kate and Stormslicer fly Katina, and the terrible terrors in. The other team neared the finish line as well, it was gonna be close. I grabbed Auds hand and squeezed it tight, and then...Swoosh they past the line and we erupted into cheers. We ran and jumped into a group hug all breathlessly cheering, hugging and crying happy tears. Kat, Ar and Aiden ran to hug their family so the rest of us girls embraced each other and hugged. We did it. I smiled and teared up as I realized how lucky I was to have such amazing friends.'''
