Chapter 2 - Arrow forest

" the rules are simple , survive till you become the last survivor in five , use every thing to your advantage, no friends no foe " . Sila , the realm keeper moved all high , still holding his silver sword .

" Let the desires evolve " . Sila vaporized into the air leaving everyone shunned.

The desire of gods had began , all contestants were ready emotionally and physically, to survive in a realm they no nothing about they had to work together at first , at least for now .

Some men volunteered to use some of the bamboo stick and leafs to create shelters , while the stronger ones had embarked into the dark Forrest of the realm , 'land of dark' to hunt .

" Did any of you hear that ? " . A tall blonde man , with beards , broad shoulders leading the mass at the back asked after hearing a sound from one of the trees standing malevolently.

" It just a .... " .

Not completely his sentence, one of the men was immediately struck dead by an arrow , a shot from an unknown shooter began to make everyone panick . The arrow bagan spreading all over the woods , some killing who ever it meets , while the rest misses it target striking the trees .

" Wait , wait everyone" . Dark skin ,hazel eyes aria spoke through the chaos , as expected nobody heard or rather listened to her , what echoed through everyone's mind at that point was how to survive through this death forest.

" Gareth " she called out to the leader who apparently was either scared or shocked and just sat down on the floor , praying for the gods to save his ass from this forest . " Look at me " . Aria points to her self , Gareth couldn't help but stare at her as a psychopath. People were getting killed by arrows and she was pointing to herself , he wondered why she hadn't yet be shot infact himself hadn't be shot too .

" Look at me " she called out again . " The arrow only goes for those who try to run " she explained to Gareth who his brain couldn't stimulate anything she was saying except the body that were dropping dead .

Moving a little forward , an arrow speed passed her , probably aiming at her , almost hitting her , if not for her quick reflexes.

It has just hit him, him or anyone here wasn't going to die if they can just keep still , but for how long ? , just staying like a statue like the girl Infront of him .

" Everyone stay still , if you want to live ". Gaining his tongue back , he announced to those who cared to listen , who knew running wasn't going to keep them alive . If running couldn't, staying could .

" Patient, momentum, wisdom , is all required to survive and pass this challenge. A voice echoed . " For every five minute " . It continues." No arrow , shall be speared out , during those fragile times , you shall find clues that could stop the arrow from spearing out and saving your lives for the next challenge ". And again , Welcome to Gods desires" . The voice added .

Nobody was seen , but it not been told that the owner of that voice was Sila . And their first challenge had began ; survive in the arrow killing forest till you find an answer .

Their desires must at least keep them save , at least for this challenge.
