Chapter 8 - 7: The Trainee Passage Trial
In Bloody Haven village, a great time came as the period of the year reserved for kids ages 13 to 14 was approaching.
The trial determining whether they were fit to stay in the role they had picked for themselves, or if they had failed to walk such a path, was only one month away.
Nerves and fears roamed at an all-time high, and the focus to train and prepare was beyond anything before this for these kids.
However, among them all, there was one understanding, an idea they had long since put to their mind.
If they hoped to stand out, the golden-eyed boy must come down.
However, at some point in the past, way before the time of this trial, years before, things had started.
That same boy was now looking at his friends, watching them face something no human from Earth would want to encounter unarmed, even armed. Some things are better left in the imagination.
At the southwestern region of the outer blood forest, near their tribe's village, there stood many flash-like trees, stained in acid and blood, while the ground looked dead, grass barely there on the bloody dirt.
Next to him, a young man with black eyes raised an eyebrow as he saw what was happening.
"Tch! You are a sadistic bastard, aren't you?" Borin, with his arms crossed, asked.
There was no response from Kriantis as he simply smiled lightly, sending shivers down his spine.
