Trials 2 [15]
"Its pitch black i can't see or hear anything"
She was floating like she was in the vacuum of space until a voice came to her head.
{Hello!}
Hearing this sudden voice she got scared for a moment and tried to grabbed the handle of her sword but it wasnt there at all as if it disappeared.
(My sword!)
{Ahh no violence here miss}
"You can hear my thoughts?"
{Yeah as a matter of fact i can hear you thoughts} it said in a sarcastic tone
"then who or what are you?" Sarya asked
{Most of the past heroes were a bit more persistent and aggressive unlike you, you seem calm aswell}
"..."
{..ok so anyways I'm like a Holy Spirit which guides the heroes} it said lazily
"So you guided all the past heroes?"
{Yeah i did and i gave each of the a test which is simple}
"Simple?"
In the pitch black void she was floating in having a chat with this so called Holy Spirit the whole area seemingly turned into an arena.
"did you do this! ?"
{Yeah pretty cool huh?}
{so here's the challenge its simple 20 goblins and all you have to do is protect the kid}
A small kid appeared infront of her, the kid looked about 6 years old but suddenly it went towards the edge of the arena which was surrounded by an endlessly deep moat.
"The kid!"
{Don't worry the kids not real but it is aware of its existence} it said
20 goblins spawned infront of her just as the voice in her head said but the other 5 goblins spawned around the child.
{lets say if you defeat the 20 goblins ipfront of you, you'll get all the strength of all the heroes it is that simple but the kid -will- die and -will- feel pain of getting stabbed}
"Ill save the kid ofcourse!" she said honestly
The kid was a non living creature but it was aware of its existence and will feel pain like any other living creature, this is why she was motivated to save the kid.
{.... Ok you past the test}
The goblins and the child turned into glowing dust and faded away into the void of the room.
"That's it?"
{Yeah no more, what the real test is outside of here your new adventure.. Obviously, here is fake and out there is real, Anyways just head outside} it said lazily again
A door appeared right infront of her out of thin air but as she was about to go out she stopped for a moment to ask something.
"Wait a minute i heard the king saying that some heroes did not return alive what happened to them?"
{Hmm... pffthahahahaha}
"Whats so funny? did they die?!"
{That's not real! Hahaha the kings lying to ya actually he just made sure that the new hero is mindful besides}
A bright light can be seen from the ceiling of the arena and showed the king and Alfred standing there and watching the show inside a viewing room.
"?!" Sarya reacted
{Anyways}
An unknown force pushed her towards the door and she got kicked out the room. She knelt on the floor, it seemed like her mind was full already.
"So Sarya how's the test"
"unexpected actually.. " Sarya answered
"The first test was fairly simple we tricked you into thinking that the child was real but it was a magic hologram and voice was just a illusion set by our grand magician" the king informed
"that's.... wow"
"So!"
The king which looked happy reached out to her hand to help lift her off the floor.
"We can't waste time here Hero lets go save our people"

"Ahh what a day"
Ferris was stretching his body behind a pile of demon corpses.
(i was only suppose to kill a small demon monster out here but ended up running into a few giant ones)
"I should report this back except the Large ones though, that'll be suspicious for a lie ranker like me" he said to the air

"Here"
"Thank you and sir I've seen you working in our guild for a week now I think you should need to reevaluate your rank by now"
