24. I did it!
I saw a bunch of dolls just staring right into my soul. To be honest they give me shady vibes. "Hey there, it's you host once again. Right now it has already been 1 hour up. You have had finished your intelligence test now it's time for the test of your physical skills. In this test, you have to escape the forest and go to the mountain. You don't need to climb it just yet. You have to also grab weapons from each section. Like this part, you have to escape with a spear for the dolls. It's your job to find out how you are going to do that. There are a lot of possibilities for how it can happen. Remember, that your actions affect your future. Now should be it for you to know! I will be off now, good luck!
I saw that there was spear a bit away from me. But it was like in the middle. So do I just go and get it. No, it can't be that easy. I saw that the dolls weren't making any movements. But the host did say that you 'escape' with the spear in this section of the test. I looked more carefully but didn't move from my position. I saw that dolls were hiding a bit backwards. But they all surrounded the spear or at least being close to it. I noticed that a leaf just made a sound due to the wind. Immediately arrows began shooting towards!
Wait for a second, so is it like that the dolls can't see anything? Maybe it's like a snake. They can't see anything, but just hear and feel it. I looked down a saw a line that was carved through the ground and around some trees making it like square, but a big one. I also noticed that the dolls were only hiding in the square. That made something click in my brain. I have...an idea. It may be risky but let's just hope that I don't die. (He forgot that he can't die in any of the tests) So here is the plan. Maybe I throw a rock beside me and not inside the square. Immediately I kind of jump slide out of there.
I did the exact thing. I quietly picked a rock and threw it beside my feet and slide out of there. But nothing happened. Now arrows or anything. Maybe this means that this area is like a safe zone. This test feels like it's testing both my intelligence and abilities. But doesn't everything uses your intelligence? Anyways. I need to do one more thing before I go in there. I threw one rock and obviously it got attacked. I threw another rock immediately as that was happening but nothing happened to it. Yes! So it means that we just have to kind of distract it. Got it! I counted the amount of pair of trees were there.
13 pairs of trees. So I will need 13 rocks. I stuffed that many rocks in all the pockets I had. Luckily I had many pockets. I looked ahead and saw a more different doll, she had a bigger body and a crown. She also had a gem stuck right on her tummy. That reminds me of a movie I saw in the human world. I showed that you can kill the dolls by breaking the gem or hitting it in one go. I know that movies are way more dramatic then real life but what if that goes the same in here. If I kill the queen then automatically guards can't do anything, like in chess, the game is over when you kill the king, in this case, the queen.
I took a deep breath and picked another rock. I threw it. The arrows began shooting. I ran in right after it stopped. I did that for at least 10 times. Each time I threw a rock my heart started beating fast but I still ran anyways. I also decided to speak anything. I decided to breathe as quietly as possible. I went to one more tree. I soon realised that I had only one rock and the gem on the doll was also very far. I have to do it just now or never. I sighed and took the last rock. I targeted at the gem and threw the rock with all my will. I closed my eyes. Thud!
I opened it again and saw that the gem was broken and all the other dolls were broken and laying down. I walked forward hesitantly. I went to the doll and kneeled to her position. I was staring at her until she opened her eyes. I freaked out and went backwards. She grabbed the spear and handed it to me. I shakily took it. She smiled at me and signalled me to take my leave. I nodded and waved a bye, she did the same. That was strange.
I was walking by until I noticed a whole pack of wolves. Holy shit! I hid behind from them. There is no way I can go towards the mountain by getting got by them. They were basically in the middle where they can see anything from. I slowly went backwards, I went away from. There must be something that wolves are scared off. What is it, what is it?
I then remembered something from my biology lesson. Wolves are scared of fire and smokey stuff! Maybe I could create a torch and go towards them. There is no way that they can harm me! I took a long log. I took a lot of long fresh leaves. I wrapped the leaves around the log. I took another leave, I tore it right at the stem. The white liquid which was glucose was pouring out. I put it on top of the leaves that wrapped the log. This will help in catching fire easily. I took 2 rocks and a lot of dried grass and leaves. I started rubbing them and soon created a fire that caught in the grass. I put the rock down and brought my log near. It immediately caught on fire. Yes! I made my self a torch
I walked near the pack of wolves. I was still scared, to be honest. I went super close to them and they noticed me. Immediate growling and roaring could be heard. They were walking towards. But stopped when I brought out the torch. The went back immediately. I walked forward and forward. They kept getting away from. As I was walking forward I realised that if I kept my back to them they might attack me. So I kept the torch to them at began walking to them. I stopped when I noticed that I could run to the mountain. I know that they might catch to me put now they understand what I am doing so I have to make a move. I looked behind and immediately started Olympic running. I ran and ran as fast as my legs could. I reached the mountain. I looked behind and saw the wolves running. My torch was blown away. I threw the stick at them but they dodged. I was ready to fight them with my spear as they were getting closer. But running in me I saw that they fell. They got hit by something. There was nothing. I tried touching the invisible thing but it felt like a wall.
"I am back. Also yeah you are protected by an invisible wall right there. Now, this is your last test, which is about both intelligence and abilities. You have to fight to reach the sword. You just have 1 and a half hours do finish it. Also, you are not allowed to climb the mountain. Climb it with stairs. Good luck once again and see you soon!"
What the heck did he mean by that I can't climb the mountain but I can climb the stairs. I see no stairs around here! I tried looking everywhere but saw nothing. But something caught my eyes. There was a certain part of the mountain that wasn't making any sense. It had a slightly different hue of colour compared to the other parts. But I have to care because I don't know what it is.
I hit the thing with the back of my spear. It tore something, more like it tore the thing I hit it on. I kind of removed whatever it was from my way and saw a cave. Well....wow! But before I entered I looked behind me. I saw a vine. I took it and tied it with spear around me. I also another log and made my self a torch again, cause I can't see in the dark like freaking wolves that just attacked me, goddamnit! When I was ready with everything I entered the cave.
I went inside and inside. Right now I couldn't see anything. As I was walking I felt that I stepped on to something. I flinched due to the sense. Soon after I saw that a lot of fireplaces began lighting up, as one by one. The whole place then was when lightened. I saw around and it looked like it was an old, historical palace. I looked around to find some clues or something that could help me.
I spotted an ancient mural. You do know that stupid stickman pictures that are in your history book? Yeah, those. I was seeing them but in real life. Maybe some of the history lessons can help me solve a problem. To be honest I always taught that history was pointless but whatever.
I went up close to it and tried to understand what it was trying to say. It first showed a sword than a huge giant that was in front of it. There was a small human being that was in front of it with a weapon. Let me connect the dots. So like the sword is the sword on the mountain. The giant could be like a protector of it. And the small human can be a person that is trying to get. So this basically means that there will be a giant on my way. I just need to find a way to get to the top and that's it.
I looked behind again and saw that the throne had a staircase to it. Then I remembered what the host told. He told me that I can climb the stairs but not the mountains. Maybe climbing these theirs will bring me to a clue in the throne. I started climbing the stair. Afterwards, I was right in front of the thrown. But it did say something. On the throne, there was a lock pad and beneath it says 'put in order'. What the heck? What do I put in order? I looked there were 8 letters I had to put. I just did the thing that it said. I just put it in alphabetical order. But nothing happened. I had to use my brain for this one. Wait the answer is right there. Put in order, so I have to order in it. But how? Oh yeah in numeric order. O is in the 15th place of the alphabet. So I put in 15. R is 18, d is 4, e is 5, and r again is 15. Soon all of the numbers fitted in. I heard a soft click. Yes! I got it! So I could see a whole staircase. I obviously started climbing it.
After a while, I finally got out of there and was finally at the top of the mountain. I saw that the sword was in front of me. I had a blue gem stuck on its handle. It looked extremely beautiful. The sword was stuck on a huge rock. The rock had something written on it though. 'Put the 7 elements of the earth.' What the heck. I thought that there were only 4! Earth, fire, water and air. What are the 7 then? I then started thinking about what is on our earth. There is the sun, but you can't take the sun so maybe light. There is also night so basically darkness. Then we have humans. What do humans have that is not common. Yeah, we have a spirit! But how the heck do I put spirit over here? I will think about it later. So yeah the seven elements are fire, earth, water, air, light, darkness, and spirit.
I first made fire with rocks and brought it near the sword. I made air by flapping my hand. For earth, I just grabbed some soil and threw it right at the sword. I had to do darkness first to do light. I grabbed my cloak and put in over the sword and then I brought out the cloak. There you go two elements done in one go! But there were just two missing. Water and spirit. I looked in front of me. There was a mountain that had a waterfall. It was not that far but I am not allowed to climb or something. I took a long vine that I found in the forest behind. I made a knot that can catch on something. Let's just hope that it catches on a rock that is in the waterfall. You see the thing I am doing is like when you tie something tight and it has a difference of hight then fluid can transfer through. Like a rope.
I threw the rope and hoped it will be caught after a while it got caught on something. Thank goodness! I tied tightly to the sword. Soon after the water was being transferred the sword. Now it was time spirit. How do I prove I have a spirit. Oh, maybe blood. I took my spear and made a deep cut in my skin. To be honest it didn't hurt because I am used to it. How can it when I used to cut? I dropped a little bit of blood on the sword. Right after that, the sword started to rise. This meant that it will be way easier to get the sword. I brought my hand to get it.
"No no no, don't get it." "But isn't that suppose to be done?" I asked "Yes but don't get. You can not get it. Also, you have 5 mins to finish." The voice left afterwards. Oh my god. What do I do? He said I could not get it. But maybe someone else can.
I ran into the forest and saw a cute big panda walking by. Pandas don't harm so it's fine. I saw bamboo and any my brain clicked. I got the bamboo and went near the panda. The panda tried to get it but instead, I ran with it towards the sword. I brought it there and chugged it in the same hole that it was in. This way the panda will grab both of them. The panda came and sniffed the bamboo on the sword. "10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2," The countdown began and just than me and the panda picked it up. More of the panda but still. "0! Yes, you have completed the test" "Yes!" I hugged the panda that was eating bamboo. "Thank you, buddy!"
Thanks for reading!
