Every human being desired to survive, to be a champion, to be on the top. World should be in peace, the place with no discrimination, no woman gets harm by walking on the street alone, questioning what she can do, man get rape, or thieves who stole and kills. But sadly, even in this world none of that exists.
Because every person is unique. They think, desire, and need to survive. Since she was young, she's prone to the words that survive for the most. But she's aware that once you taste a victory, you'll find it more. You'll crave it for more, once you taste the word supremacy you will do everything just to be above in all.
The crowd's voices remain echoing in the whole arena, Katara can't even hear her own heart beat. As they continue, a portal appears and one by one they enter.
Before she steps in, she takes a deep breath. This is it, the game of survival starts. She saw a bracelet snakes on her right wrist hand, the portal takes them to the middle of a forest. Where green grasses are everywhere and the massive threes.
"Welcome to Andovia, you are now officially part of the game. Find yourself a partner for the next 20 seconds, before the gate officially closes." They heard a woman's voice, and in just a moment a huge golden gate appeared. Why does Katara feel she's entering a game in the previous world? This is not what she's expecting, but this is good. The exciting feeling she felt was good, it was running to her veins. She wanted to do something, she's not that strong like others but she will survive in this game and claim her prize.
She's not naive, she has already encountered many people in her life. Different from them, the duke is not easily dealt with. She need something to protect herself and her family, she's not stupid. She knows…
When the timer started, Katara had 20 seconds to find a partner. Where the hell is Desmond? Of course she wants him to be her partner, first they already knew each other so she can make sure that he'll never kill her. She started to walk and look around, thinking that Desmond should not have a partner first or else she'll call him a traitor for the rest of her life. She assumes that they're already friends after all.
Because of the grass, it's hard to walk. It's testing her patience, she took a deep breath and tried to calm herself. Why do they need to land her? She heard everything here is true, if you'll die, you'll die.
"Damn it!" She cusses, when the grass starts to get in her way again. She saw the gate was closing, it seemed like the tween seconds were almost up.
She needs to find a freaking partner, or else it'll be hard for her to survive. She doesn't know the reason why they need to have a partner but it must be part of the game. That's it, she's fed up. She stops walking and takes a deep breath again.
"DESMONDDDDD!!!!!!!!!" She shouted at the top of her lungs, her voice echoes around the area that caught everyone's attention. They look at her weirdly, she doesn't care at all. A strong wind blows.
"Yes?" She heard a voice at her back, she turned around and saw Desmond. Wow, that was fast.
'I should shouted his name for the first place'
"Let's be partners, do you have one already? No, good!" She said, Desmond nodded.
"Thanks for calling, actually I wanted to be your partner too. Some members approached me to be their partners but I can't choose one of them." She smiled, she walked closer to him and then jumped to his back.
"Good, I heard you can fly. The gate is closing, let's go." She said Desmond can't help but to hold her legs to support her.
"The Gate is closing at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9—" A voice of a woman said again, and in just one second the entrance to the gate without any difficulties. Desmond flew in the air, he's an air elemental magic user.
After they enter, Desmond lays her on the ground carefully.
"Thank you." She thanked him, and topped his shoulder. She looked around inside the gate, it was an empty hall. Some of the players are already inside, they don't know what's going on.
They heard a loud close of the gate, and next a voice of a man who cleared his throat. It's obvious who owns that voice, it was professor Alan.
"Good Day Players, You're officially inside the tower and hope you find a partner. Now fight them..." Huh? Katara looks at Desmond. Fight him? She wanted to be his partner because he's one of the strongest and now fights him?! She'll die in the first level, damn it. Is this professor serious?
"Just kidding, one by one each of the group picks a card in that box." A box suddenly appeared in the middle, it was floating.
"Your next destination is the island of Shibura, and you need to provide the things the card asking you that you picked from the box. You can find everything in this tower, it's for you how to find them and reminder. The strongest will remain, see you in the Island of Shibura... Tooot" Katara and Desmond look at each other with confused in their eyes, both of them tilt their head to the side. That's it? so no other instructions?
They walk to the box in the middle, Katara who puts her hand inside the box and picks a card. She looked immediately what's the card, and she saw an egg. What will she do with an egg?
"I think it's a dragon egg..." Desmond said while looking at the card too, an egg. So they need to find a dragon egg? But how can they find them? She turns the card back to back and looks for the clue, she also swishes it but nothing happens.
"Let me see." Desmond said she gave him the card and then to her surprise he wound himself using the edge of the card and the blood stain slowly changes the color of the card.
When it turns from white into a black one, Katara immediately gets an idea in her head.
"Okay let's go find it." She said and pulled Desmond, they moved forward and ran into the stairs and next to the whole way.
"I think we need to find a black door?" She said, one by one to each tower's floor they look to a black door.
