"Um, Z." Astherielle scooted closer to her. She was looking at the weird stares sent their way. "Is it just me, or do they hate us even more?"
Zera took the last bite of their dinner and pretended that the hostile environment did not bother her. It was getting more and more difficult to do so.
After their group had walked out of the field training, they showed another playback. It covered half of Zera and her friends running through the woods and standing face to face with the other players.
It irritated Zera, but they had no control over that simple matter. That simple matter was even becoming more complicated.
"Slowly, I'm seeing the intent of this game. There's a reason they spiraled us into this stupid game." Zera replied. She waited for her friends to finish their meal, itching to leave.
"We need to deplete Zayd's health points as fast as we can. Things could get even uglier from here on and out."
