Heroes of Alvannia: The Battle for Survival"

**Chapter 18: New Rules – The Captain's Armband and the Team Switch**

The sun rose over Alvannia, and **Henrique Nakamura** appeared in the center of the camp with a smile that promised twists and turns.

— *Welcome to a new phase of *Heroes of Alvannia*! Starting today, the rules change, and the game gets even more intense.*

The competitors exchanged curious and apprehensive glances.

— *In each challenge, the public will vote for a **loved** and a **hated** participant. The hated one will be transferred to the loved team, and vice versa. This can completely change the dynamics of the groups.*

— *The participant who leads their group to victory will receive the **Captain's Armband**. With it, you will have exclusive benefits:*

- *You can order anyone to do whatever you want, without question.*

- *You can take someone to spend a night at the **Comforting Mansion** as a prize.*

- *You can refuse to do forced labor, but you **can't** order others to stop. If you do, you will lose the armband and do all the work alone, while your group is spared.*

— *The losing group will continue with forced labor, but the captain can be spared... if he doesn't abuse his power.*

— *Do you understand?* — asked **Henry**, with a sparkle in his eyes.

The competitors nodded, some with calculating looks, others nervously. ---

### **The Formation of the New Teams**

Henrique raised his hands, and the competitors' armbands glowed, indicating the new divisions:

- **Hardy** (Lion – Leadership)

- **Katherine** (Bird – Harmony)

- **Grayrock** (Golem – Durability)

- **Ingemar** (Sea Dragon – Water)

- **Leerstrom** (Cat – Camouflage)

- **Kroft** (Boar – Resistance)

### **The First Challenge Under the New Rules**

— *The next challenge will be **The Bridge of Wishes**. You must cross an unstable bridge over a chasm, but be careful: the bridge can only support the weight of one true wish. If you lie, the bridge will break.*

The competitors exchanged tense glances.

### **Gossip and Secret Passions**

**Katherine** (to **Hardy**): *"We need to win. I can't stand seeing **Drake** with that superior smirk anymore."*

**Hardy** (looking at her): *"You're acting weird... what happened?"*

**Katherine** (blushing): *"Nothing. I just want to win."*

**Drake** (to **Glenda**): *"The captain's armband will be mine. And the night at the mansion... well, I already know who I'm taking."*

**Glenda** (smiling): *"Be careful, Drake. Katherine may not be as easy to conquer as you think."*

— *Remember: the game has changed. Now, the power is in your hands... and in the public's choices. Good luck!*

The competitors dispersed, some planning strategies, others thinking about how to survive the new rules.
