Raven: The Ice Queen.
Day 15.
Raven stood in front of the camp as he watched the twelve warriors prepare themselves for today's trials, and the final day of the trials.
" Last time, the Penguins did leap of faith, while they collected 43 crystals, Dominic perished after landing empty handed, Isabel and Bridget, the remaining two warriors for the penguins decided not to buy Dominic back and continued the journey as two warriors with a total of 43 crystals, the Polar bears were successful in the memory game, collecting all four crystals, bringing their total to 31, the Seals were caught in the cage traps, but they all got out and gathered four crystals to they pack, bringing their total to 50, the Wolves took part in the deep loch, all four swimming across and they collected four crystals, bringing their total to 34", said Raven.
" The wolves and the polar bears have no chance in taking the lead, but they still have a chance to avoid last place, as for the seals and the penguins, the penguins still have a chance to take the lead, only if the seals lose one of there warriors in their final trial and buys them back with 8 crystals, the higher the ranking, the better the chances on making it to the final stage of the quest", said Raven.

The then left the group and Isabel entered the tower.
Once at the top, she sat down by a table, where she meets the gypsy, the gypsy then gave her a riddle.
" I had a box full of chocolates, I at 1/2 on Monday, 2/3 of what was left on Tuesday, and on Wednesday I finished off the remaining ten to empty the box, how many chocolates did I have originally", said the Gypsy.
Isabel thought about it for a moment, then gave out her answer, " 60".
" Correct", said the Gypsy, giving Isabel two crystals.
Once Isabel left the tower, Bridget went in.
She went up to meet the gypsy, once she sat down, the gypsy gave her the gypsy.
" I collect one inch cubes at the market every day, I bought 8 last week, glued them together, and made a 2 inch cube, how many more 1 inch cubes will I need to put on the 2 inch cube to make a 3 inch cube", said the gypsy.
Bridget thought about it, then gave out her answer, " 27".
" Incorrect, 27 is how many you need to make one, but 8 was already used for a 2 inch cube, the answer is 19, sorry", said the gypsy.
Bridget then left the tower, and she and Isabel headed back to camp where the others were waiting, they collected 2 crystals, which gave them a grand total of 45.

" Welcome warriors to your final challenge, this is the dark cave, another test of bravery, instead of facing fears of heights, you'll be facing fears of the dark, once you enter the cave, a boulder will block the entrance, so you'll have to find another way out, in pitch black, also there are four pouches in the cave, each has a crystal inside, you must find as many as you can, and get out of the cave, before the time runs out, if you spend too long in the cave, you'll perish", said Raven before leaving the group.
Ben and Michael then entered the cave, and it then collapsed, they were trapped.
" Okay, we'll stick together, to make sure we both make it out", said Michael.
The then searched around, and Ben felt through the first bag.
" Found one", said Ben.
" Okay, that's one, still three to go", said Michael.
After a minute of searching, Michael found the second.
" Found another one, we're halfway there", said Michael.
They then began to search for the third one, soon, Ben managed to find it.
" Found it", said Ben.
" Excellent, just one more to go", said Michael.
" Should we get out now, I have a bad feeling we'll run out of time", said Ben.
" Sure, let's get going", said Michael.

He then left and the team began the challenge.
Samantha went first, she may have nearly perished halfway, but she made it through, and claimed the first pouch.
Thomas was next, he may have had a dodgy start, but he improved as he went further to the end, he made it through and claimed the second pouch.
It was now Charlie's turn, when he was halfway across, he nearly had moments of hitting the bells, however, he made it across, and claimed the third pouch.
It was now Charlotte's turn, only her left, if she makes it across, the team will win, she made it through, without breaking a sweat, and grabbed the last pouch.

Challenge: Pedestals.
Oliver, Sophie, Tabitha and William stood at one ledge of a building, between them and the other side are five pedestals, hanging above the pedestals are four brown pouches.
Raven approached them.
" Warriors, welcome to your final challenge, these are the pedestals, what you must do, is walk across them, collect one pouch each, and reach the other side to claim your victory, but beware, should any of you fall, and this may be where your journey ends, this challenge will test both your balance, agility and courage", said Raven.
Once he left the group, they began their challenge.
" I'll go first", said Tabitha.
" Are you sure", said Oliver.
" Yeah, it's now or never", said Tabitha.
And so, Tabitha hopped onto the first pedestal, so far so good, then she hopped onto the second, then the third, once on the third pedestal she grabbed one of the four pouches.
Now all she has do to is reach the other side.
She hopped onto the fourth pedestal with success, then the fifth, but nearly lost footing.
" You alright Tabitha", said Oliver.
" I'm fine, nearly lost it there for a second", said Tabitha.
And so with one final leap she made it across, with the gem she earned.
" I'll go next", said William.
And so, William hopped onto the first pedestal, a successful first start, then made it on the second, however, as soon as he jumped onto the third pedestal, he lost footing and fell off, vanishing before he hit the floor.
Now it leaves Oliver and Sophie, if they both fail like William did, then Tabitha will be the only wolf remaining.
" Do you want to go next or last", said Oliver.
" Is it okay if I go last", said Sophie.
" Sure", said Oliver.
And so, he hopped onto the first pedestal, so far so good, then he successfully made it onto the second, and the third, this time he remained on, and grabbed the second pouch.
Now all he has to go is complete the course and he's safe.
He made it onto the fourth Pedestal, and just like Tabitha, he nearly slipped on the fifth.
" Careful Oliver, just one more jump and you're safe", said Tabitha.
Oliver took a deep breath, and took the last leap, making it across.
All that leaves now is Sophie.
" You can do it Sophie.", said Oliver.
Sophie then took the first leap, she made it on the first one, so far so good, she then made it across the second one, and even though she nearly lost footing on the third, she made it on.
She grabbed the third and final gem for her team, and looked at the remaining two pedestals in front of her.
She was literally a hop, skip and a jump from succeeding.
She leaped onto the fourth Pedestal successfully, then hopped onto the fifth, also successfully.
She was just one leap away to ending her pain of worrying.
Once she was ready, Sophie took the final leap and made it across successfully.
Tabitha and Oliver congratulated Sophie as she made it across, now with three more gems added the wolves have 37 gems in total.
However, unfortunately for them, they have a dilemma to make.
Raven then approached them.
" Warriors, after 14 days, you have earned a total of 37 crystals, however, William perished in the final challenge, but, you have a choice to make, should you keep the gems and end your journey as three, or, should you buy him out, sacrificing 8 of your gems, and end your journey as four, now is the time to make your choice", said Raven.
Tabitha, Oliver and Sophie huddled together, to make their difficult decision.
" He has been a very valuable player the whole time, but we're about to merge tomorrow, plus I think we have the lead at the moment, if we buy him out, we'll lose our lead", said Oliver.
" We did agree that we would stick together till the end", said Tabitha.
" I think this is the end, if we buy him out, we'll be in last place", said Sophie.
" If I perished, and he made it, I'm sure he would want to buy me out", said Tabitha.
" Are you sure Tabitha", said Oliver.
" Yeah", said Tabitha.
" Well, okay then, hopefully all four of us will be chosen to take part in the final stage", said Oliver.
Then group then turned back to Raven.
" Warriors, have you made your decision", said Raven.
" Yes, we're going to bring him back", said Oliver.
" Are you sure", said Raven.
" Yes", said Oliver.
" Well then, 8 crystals are required", said Raven.
Once they took out the 8 gems they need, Oliver held them up, and with his staff, Raven made them vanish, and William reappeared.
" William, the wolves have decided to bring you back, the wolves finish their journey as a full group", said Raven.
He then left the group as they welcomed back William.
Final result.

Next time, the warriors begin two stages of the redemption trials to decide who takes part in the final week of the quest, and who doesn't, only six days remain till the end of the quest, and the portal opens tomorrow, who will be chosen for the quest, and who won't.
