Third Trial

This is a short story of 3 chapters that I wrote while studying text production. In theory, it shouldn't be a standalone story but rather the beginning of another, larger work that would consist of two stories: *War* and *What's on the Other Side?*



However, since I won't be writing these two stories right now, I decided to separate the beginning and write it first, as I'm trying to practice creating endings... something that this story didn't help much with, as it has a continuation. Anyway, even missing the other two stories, I believe these three chapters serve well as an independent story, even if not very deep or complex.



In case you'd like to know, the order of the stories would be: Third Trial, War, and then What's on the Other Side?



I will post all three chapters today—one at 6 AM, another at 12 PM, and the last one at 6 PM.
