Merlin and Agatha landed in a foggy area where they barely even see each other's faces, and the fogs are like smokes to their lungs cos the more they inhale, the more they cough.
"Where the hell is this place!" Agatha held her chest as she coughed, spitting out blood.
"I dunno" Merlin replied, holding his nose tightly as he began rushing out of the fog.
"Wait for me idiot!" Agatha shouted, running after him.
"You're older than me so stop being a baby" Merlin replied and stopped till she caught up, so they continued running together, but it's like the fog is endless cos the more they run, the more it gets.
They were still in the fog when an arrow came, getting Merlin in the back.
"Argh!" He groaned, going on his knees.
Agatha ran past him immediately.
"Sort out yourself, kiddo" she said and continued her race till she went out of the fog.
Merlin was still kneeling painfully when another arrow came,but this time, he caught it in his palm, and the one on his back came out automatically.
He stood, and the arrows came in many angles this time, but he leapt into the air with glowing green eyes
He did the immortal execution technique, swinging himself and gathering all the arrows with his hands before landing back on the ground.
Immediately he landed, the fog cleared, and he fell on the ground weakly.
"I passed" he breathed.
"Arggghh!!!!" Agatha's voice came from the front, and he stood.
He traced it and found her in the middle of a lake. She's drowning, and she has no control over the liquid this time.
She's trying to stop time, but the energy of the lake is blocking it.
"Help! Merlin get here and help! Don't stand there like an idiot!" She shouted, and he smiled, crossing his arms on his chest.
"You left me earlier, so deal with this on your own too " he smirked and started leaving.
"Merlin! Merlin!!!!" Agatha screamed. Only her head is left out by now.
Merlin stopped and sighed, remembering the aim of this test.
Protecting yourself and your fellow disciples.
He jumped into the river at once, swimming fast to the sinking part where Agatha is.
He grabbed her by the hair when he got to her since it's the only visible part of her body, and he started drawing her out.
Immediately they came out of the water, the lake disappeared like it didn't exist at all, and Agatha stood.
"Are you ok?" Merlin asked her, and she replied with a slap.
"You took too long to save me!" She ranted, and he grabbed her throat immediately, the green glow returning to his eyes.
"I saved your life!" He shouted.
Agatha's nails grew long, and she shoved them into his belly, so he released her, and he held his bleeding tummy instead.
"I'm Princess Agatha of Sullivan kingdom and no one treats me lowly! Lowlife!" She barked, his blood dropping down from her sharp nails as she walked away.
Merlin kept lying on the ground, bleeding more.

Krishna and Ruthie found themselves in a cave, and Krishna scoffed.
"Seriously? What are we doing here?"
"Keep quiet, I feel a dark aura here" Ruthie replied, and he faced her.
"Are you a psychic?" He asked.
"Kind of, but I can only feel a little. Not mastered yet" she replied, and he smiled.
"Your hair is pretty by the way. I love colour red" he said, and she blushed, but it was short-lived when a grunting sound came from the other side.
They turned there, and their eyes widened when they saw a ragged looking zombie with blood all-over his skin.
"Wait... this is what they call zombies, right? They bite you and you become one of them" Ruthie said, and he nodded.
"Sure, we have to be careful" Krishna replied, and another zombie jumped down from the cave top this time.
Before they could blink, another one came, and another, and another, till the cave became full of them, and they're trapped in the middle.
"Don't look them in the eye, it provokes them" Krishna said.
"Any other helpful tip?" Ruthie replied, and he smiled.
"Just that" he said, and the zombies came for them at once, but Krishna opened his mouth so wide, and his eyes glowed in yellow as he sent out his wind, and immediately it hit them, they landed in various parts of the cave, giving them more space, so they stood back to back.
"Now!" Krishna said, and they charged forward at once, attacking the zombies first with their bare hands as their nails grew longer.
The first one Ruthie tore with her nails disappeared, and her eyes widened.
"It's gone!'
"They're not real Ruthie! Any slight wound from us will make them leave, just be careful not to get wounded or bitten" Krishna said from his side, tearing the fifth one down already.
"Ok this is fun" Ruthie replied, tearing down the second one.
The tearing was fun and within five minutes, they made close to hundred disappear.
Ruthie was feeling it so much that she stopped and looked at Krishna who's still busy tearing.
She was smiling as she stared, thinking about how cool he is, till a zombie jumped down from the cave top again, landing on her head.
"F**k it!" She gasped and started trying to get it off, but he seems strong than the other ones, so it was hard.
Ruthie suddenly grabbed his hand and dragged him away from her shoulder, throwing him to the rocky wall.
He disappeared, and Ruthie smiled, but it didn't really disappear for good, he actually entered the stone, so immediately Ruthie turned her back, he came out of the stone and started rushing to her.
"Lookout!" Krishna shouted, and she quickly turned back, tearing him off
He disappeared for good this time, but a yell came from Krishna, and Ruthie turned back to him.
He's left with one zombie, but that one is on his neck, and by the look on Krishna's face, he seems to have bitten him already.
"Krishna!!!" She screamed in horror, and shockingly, fire came out of her mouth, hitting the zombie.
That particular one burnt to ashes on the spot, and Krishna smiled, clapping loudly.
"Whoa! You're a friggin legend, did you just spit fire like a dragon?" He grinned.
"You weren't bitten?" She said.
"Those things don't stand a chance against me" he winked.
"Then why did you make that face when it was on your neck? I was so scared" she said.
"Sorry about that, but I kinda like your power. You're a spitfire" he smiled.
"I didn't know I had it till now" she replied, and he nodded.
"It's all good, let's get outta here. We passed" he said, leading the way out.
Ruthie followed with a large smile.

Raven and Ceres landed on a bridge, and immediately they did, Raven almost fainted.
"Why is the bridge so thin! Ceres!" He held Ceres tightly.
"Sometimes I wonder if you're the senior or me. You're not fit to be my senior brother, seriously" Ceres scoffed.
"I'm scared" Raven said shakily again, holding her tighter.
"Can you just stop? It's annoying how you shake like a girl everytime!" She shouted angrily, and he let go of her to hold the bridge rails.
Suddenly, the bridge began shaking, and their eyes widened at once.
They turned back only to see the bridge falling from behind already, and their hearts jumped.
"Run! Raven!' Ceres shouted, and they started running at once, madly on the thin bridge.
Ceres is in the front, and Raven is lagging behind, breathing heavily despite the fact that he's barely running.
"Faster Raven! Faster!!!!" Ceres shouted, increasing her own pace too.
The bridge was still falling behind, and it'd soon reach them.
Raven increased his pace, but it obviously wasn't enough cos the bridge fell from his feet, and he started falling.
"No!!!!!" He screamed as he fell.
"Damn it! He's useless!" Ceres spat and broke the next part of the bridge with her eyes, sending it to Raven who's still in the air.
The flat wood went beneath him, and he stood on it, so it carried him back up, and Ceres joined him on it.
It carried them away from the bridge completely, and they landed on a green grass after some minutes.
"We passed" Ceres said, jumping down from the wood.
Raven held his chest, bending on his spot
"That was suicidal" he said and fell flat on the ground.
"Useless boy" Ceres shook her head.

AN HOUR LATER*
Samara's eyes opened in a different place, and she tried to sprang up when she studied her environment, but that was when she realized she's tied. She's tied to a tree in a forest!
She's sure she was swallowed by the dragon, so how come she's here? How come she's not dead yet?
She made to move again, but the ropes she was tied with kept hindering her, and she moaned painfully.
"You're in the belly of the Hermosa dragon" a voice said from behind, and her eyes widened.
Who just spoke?
"Hermosa dragon belongs to me, and it's belly is a kingdom on its own. You're in that kingdom" the voice said again, getting closer.
"Who're...you?" She asked calmly, and the person finally appeared in front of her.
"Onion?" Her eyes widened, and he smiled his wicked smile as his sword appeared on his hand, and his stars shone as he wrapped his palm on the sword.
"It's a good thing I can kill you here once and for all. At least, I won't have to see you anymore" he said, walking to her with a murderous look on his fierce face.
"You sent your dragon to the woods to trap me? What did I ever do to you!!!! Was stabbing me not enough? Huh!!!!" She yelled, and he sped the remaining distance to her, placing his sword on her neck.
She held her breath immediately.
"Hearing your voice might speed up your death, so keep it down" he said hatefully, and she smirked.
"Because you have a sword? Mum told me my sword is gonna appear when it's time so just wait for that time, you'd be the first person I'd kill!" She shouted.
"That's if you're still alive then" he replied, raising his sword to her neck, but a sharp sound happened beside them immediately, and they looked at the direction to see a sword, a sparkling golden sword.
Orion's eyes darkened immediately. Did her sword just appear?.
"My sword?" Samara muttered shockingly.
The sword cut off the ropes on her body on it's own, and immediately she became free, she grabbed the sword, and her eyes glowed gold sharply as she placed it on Orion's neck too, so both their swords are on their necks.
"Don't play, my sword is here motherf**ker" she muttered.
