"As if enough crazy stuff wasn't happening!" Dominic moaned.
"Shutup and listen!" Nnaemeka hissed," This could be important." After a quick introduction to Claire, the three turned back around to hear what the pale woman was saying.
"As you should all know by now, these are not normal creatures. And already two of you have tapped into your 1st potential." she said.
"Would you get to the point!" someone shouted shouted.
"Ok fine. The rules are simple, this is a tornament. At the end of the tournament the winner gets this key." At this she lifted her hand to show a simple key with a faint glowing outline.
"To enter you must get to 1st potential by...say 2 days. You do not have to enter if you wish. As soon as you have tapped into 1st potential you will have a wristwatch materialise on your hand. These will tell you your opponents and so on. Rememeber if you enter, you do so at your own risk. You may not come out whole and in one piece, plus you may not back out once you have entered. I am now open for questions." she concluded. Stephen put his hand up.
"So what does the key do exactly?" he asked.
"Good question. The key opens the door of answers. Once you step through that door no one knows what it does to you. It varies from person to person. I mean the last winner was a man called Hitler and it drove him mad for power and greed. And before him had been Shakespeare, turning him into one of histories greatest writers. Also your wondering how come we haven't tried to open the door ourselves. Well that's because the lock and key change to the winner's preference. No one elese is able to open it." Alex put up his hand.
"Well how come we haven't heard of this before? I mean, it would be very hard to hide this kind of thing." The woman thought for a second.
"Hmm...that's because we haven't had to host it on this kind of global scale before." Whispers erupted.
"WHAT!? So you mean it's not just us, but the whole world?" Chima looked at her in disbelief.
"In essence...yes." The woman glanced at her watch.
"Sadly that's my time up, I must go and prepare with the others." The pale woman shot them a smile, waved, then in the blink of an eye, diappeared.
