[Welcome back to Survival Comrades]
[ Congratulations on wining Stage one by REACHING OUT THE STONE!]
[ The Master can now claim the Privilege]
" Oohoo! Congrats Jason. Best of luck for the rest hereafter", the whole group including Jimmy, Ailee, Patrick, Sean, Zina, Ronald and Eric cheered for Jason.
While everyone was standing out in the entry gate, Jason alone entered the Great Treasury to obtain his Privilege.
As he chose the path of flowery bridge, the entrance of that Treasury appeared to be fully decorated with unique and admirable flowers.
Birds surrounded him, making the whole atmosphere happy by its tweets and chirps.
He lifted his head up and observed the gate which looked five times bigger than the BULWARK.
The chirps of a Nightingale directed him to the privilege, crossing the paths of the Powerful Keys, Magical balls, Ascerted Eggs, Glacious swords, a pile of Jewels and lot more treasures.
He at some point stopped near a pile of Trophies, as the bird stopped its lovely chirp while reaching it.
Jason stood amidst the greatest of all the treasures in the Connector, not having any idea of how to proceed thereonwards.
Then he thought of an idea, to touch the things around, thinking that the privilege might stick to the owner with his touch.
Its when his eyes met a glowing momento of a Golden bird. His hands automatically dragged him towards it, making him walk over lot of Treasures.
The Golden Bird stick to his hands, as soon he stood near it. After he claimed the bird, the Great Treasury disappeared at an instant.
Comrades ran towards him, as soon as they spotted Jason appear from dust. Jason added the Golden bird in his Treasure, to use it after knowing its advantage.
It was at the moment, when they all stood as a group altogether, the weather changed suddenly. Their ears heard wierd sounds and their eyes spotted unusual and clumsy place all over.
Yes! The environment they were all standing, changed completely into a darkest land, full of smoke and malodour. The smell of effluvium stuck everyone and they all struggled to breath.
[ Task 2: Find the Eternity flower and prepare the Healing portion] said the female voice.
" Come on, Guys! Lets all seperate our ways and find the flowers", Jason gave commands to his subjects.
" But, before anything you do, equip a breathing wear from your treasure and play safely", Jason gave his second order and he split them all into groups.
They all got seperated into 4 groups in pairs and ran towards four different directions to find the Eternity flower.
The boys climbed over high places and girls searched the plains. Eric and Ailee ran over to a slippery path, where they noticed a plain land full of wet mud.
They walked over it gently and carefully, aiming to cross it.
But, to their amazement they were unable to see anything other than the wet mud, upto the dead- end.
It was when Eric got into action, digging up the place, bringing out happy news to his fellow partner by spotting a green sprout in its bottom.
After digging it deeply, they both managed to drag out a long stem like plant which had white flowers in its bottom.
They confirmed it as the Eternity flower, after they noticed a Pearl on its center.
Jason and Ronald on the other hand, walked over and over, as they had nothing to find out after a long walk. They both sat in a muddy bump and used their brain, instead of haste and agitation.
Ronald sniffed suddenly and told Jason that he could smell petrichor. Hearing this, Jason's face bloomed in delight and he lit a attractive smile, making himself look charming, even to Ronald who sat next to him.
" What is it?", asked Ronald.
" I'm a pluviophile, who loves rain. From my childhood I always wait for the rainy seasons, as I get an uncountable joy and happiness, seeing it pouring down; it's smell, thunder and the cool breeze gave me deep sleep at night. It would be great if it rains now; I'll get super refreshed and it'll help me speed up", said Jason.
Hearing him, Ronald began to pray, to make it rain, as if it was a real world. But, they were standing in a place designed inbetween mountains and glaciers. So, the programming, was made to rain in a fixed time and stop in the meantime.
As per Ronald's words, it was the drizzling that brought up the earthly smell of the Petrichor. Within few minutes, rain poured up heavily making both of them shiver in its coldness.
They both ran towards a cave to take a shelter, as it was the only place they spotted after several miles. The deep blue cave, gave them chills all over the body; they both walked into it and spotted a big lake inhabiting in it, species of enormous varieties.
Jimmy walked towards the lake and sat in the floor, dipping his legs into it. It was when he saw a fish, which had something clinging onto its tail. Without a moment of hesitation, Jason jumped into the lake and brought a fish to the shore.
The fish's tail had a white flower with a pearl mounted on its center. After much considerations and discussion, whether it was the flower they were searching for, they both collected a heap of those flowers in the Dripdrop bag from Ronald's treasure.
The first pair to reach the meeting place was Patrick and Zina duo's. They both had collected an favourable amount of those flowers, from the top of a mountain, passing through a lot of tribes, animals and dark routes.
Then, came Ailee and Eric with mud all over their bodies. They both used their overshirts, to collect those.
Jimmy and Sean came with just handful of flower each; while Jason and Ronald came out drenched in water with a heavy bag full of those flowers.
They all met together near a cherry blossom, where they'd already planned on meeting. As a master, Jason came forward and collected the flowers from each pair.
It was all in the hands of a master to direct the subjects, assign work to them, give them reward and take care of the whole land.
So, Jason ranked the first four positions of the subjects who worked hard in finding the Eternity flowers.
As soon as Jason declared the list, the score board appeared in thin air displaying their stats:
[ No. Comrade Score]
[ super 1. Jason 45/100]
[ 1. Ailee 38/100]
[ 2 . Eric 36/100]
[ 3. Patrick 34/100]
[ 4. Ronald 30/100]
With the score board displaying the top 4, with Jason always on the top being the master, they all get to know how they all played so far.
The flame to win the match, burned high in eveyones mind. With much curiosity and competitive mindset, they all set their foot into Atlise, following the footprints of the Master.
