"How's Jair?" The players asked Todd. They just want to know one thing--if he can make it because the tune will sound anytime and that would mean they would be running again in this maze. "I think, he can run but not that quick," Todd replied. And they weren't mistaken. When the morning come, long before they even get out of bed, the players heard the tune reverberating in the entire maze. They know that's a cue for another set of tasks to be done here in this -- Name the tune to identify the instrument game round. "What music instrument is that?" The players looked at each other as if looking for answers in each of them. The players covered their ears for sometimes the sound is piercing, and thin like it will shatter their eardrums. Then in a moment, it will become soft and like a rain pattering. "Did you hear that?" Carsen asked " Yeah, the sounds hurt our ears!" Dizal commented. Carsen shook his head, " No, guys, it seems that the sound is coming from a glass instrument

"He's Orin's friend?" Carsen exclaimed. The other players quickly turned their gaze at him. He grinned and pointed at his head. "Telepathy...I'm communicating with someone through telepathy," he said. The players nodded. Anyway, he wasn't expecting he would hear such a thing from Talyn. How could Orin be friends with one of the Vilgroi's strongest boundless? More so his inner circle? "How could that happen?" Carsen asked. He heard Talyn sighing from the other end. "Long story," she replied. "Anyway here's the thing you guys need to know with Seraph." ---Flashback - Orin and Seraph"Why haven't you attended the class a while ago?" Orin asked Seraph. He finds the Seraph sitting alone beside the water fountain. He looks so engrossed in the water that dances with music. "Seraph?" Orin called his friend's attention again. He's his friend. He cares for her. And he knows that the instrument elders would be punishing him next time for not attending the lesson today. "Becaus

"So, what now?" The players are now standing on the edge of the waterfall cliff. They had been running away from the game hunters who were chasing them. It's annoying how Jimmie does not honor his own rules in the game. They weren't supposed to be chased by these game hunters because they won in all the wounds. They were able to collect all the instruments needed for them to get out of the maze. Yet they still end up getting sabotaged in the end. "Carsen, the game hunters were instructed to hinder your group from getting out of the maze!" That was Takii, the game hunter who secretly turned to their side. "What? But we won in this maze race!" Carsen insisted. "You know from the start how this world rules!" "Okay, guys! Hurry! We need to leave very quickly now!" Carsen yelled, instructing his group to move now. Talyn, hey, we need your mapping for us to get out of here quickly! Carsen contacted Talyn through telepathy. From above, from Talyn's point of view, Carsen and the p

The cell gate opened. The players all hold their breath anxiously. This time, the first one to play was called. It was Jair. Hearing that, Lizzie broke out in tears and begged she'd replace him instead but the operators were too deaf. It's unusual this time that there aren't any explanations or rules given before they were called out, before the start of the game. The more reason that the players get nervous. They wonder about the uncertainty, and they know its possible danger so it's scaring them. The rest of them remained quiet, while others had violent reactions. Like Lizzie who was crying on the floor now, and Dizal who was hitting the cell door and cursing at the cameras above them. While Carsen on the other hand just sits calm, thinking in the corner. "Urgghh!!! Let us all out of here!" Dizal was screaming. He tried to throw some force field on the cell bars but it just bounced. The prison cell where they are held is indeed resistant to their ability as Carsen said. Aside from

" I'm opening the cell gate now, master, but I can't guarantee your powers will work out fine when you guys come out," Talyn informed Carsen. They were still communicating through telepathy. "It's okay, Tal, I don't have time to play this game, can you give me some information about those voices we heard in our headphones?" Carsen asked. Talyn swiped the large monitors in front of her, and as she did so, certain images popped out on the hologram screen. She was quite surprised to see who were those. "Uhm..master based on the voice recognition here, it's Adeleum and Mihr," she told Carsen. "Adeleum? Mhir?" Carsen muttered. "Mihr?" Usius interrupted when he heard what Carsen had just uttered. Carsen turned to him and asked, " Yeah, why?" Usiu's eyes gleamed at the recognition of an old friend's name. Yeah, how could he forget such a name? Mihr and he grow up together in their realm. He was a childhood friend. Mihr even learned first to sing than him. He used to look up at hi
