Chapter 5-The First Challange
Sora took a deep breath as he prepared for the obstacle course. He glanced at Aaralyn and she flashed him a thumbs up. He looked back at the obstacle course and took another deep breath.
A bell rang somewhere close and Sora was off. The first part of the course was a pitch black tunnel.Sora no idea how Aaralyn could tell how he did, but she obviously could.He treaded through the tunnel carefully, using all his senses to detect if there was another prescence or a dropoff. With his hands he felt a wall very close to him and avoided running into it. He then used his ears to hear pebbles falling and detected a dropoff.
After ten agonzing minutes of careful moving and good use of his senses, Sora made it out of the tunnel.In front of him was a hunk of rock cut into the shape of stairs.
"This is going to be easier then I thought," Sora said to himself.
But a second after placing one foot on the rock steps, they began to crumble. He quickly ran down them before they crumbled away completly. "Maybe not," He said when he was at the bottom.
Sora was now at a section of flat ground. There was nothing else around so Sora continued on to the next challenge. Suddenly a few heartless appeared blocking his way.
Sora whipped out the sword that Sacrifice used and that all hopefuls had been given. He stabbed one where its heart should have been, killing it instantly. Another heartless attacked him from behind in retaliation.The attack caused Sora to drop his sword.He kicked the heartless in the shins and then grabbed his sword. He stabbed the creature and it died.
The third and final heartless tackled Sora as soon as the 2nd heartless died. Sora's sword dropped from his hand and slid from his reach. Sora punched the heartless in the face and it staggered back off of him. Sora was able to get his sword and kill it.
He raised the sword in triumph and then proceded on.Some of Sora's other tasks included hurtle jumping and a few more heartless battles.He made it out of the obstacle curse half an hour after entering it. Aaralyn stood ready to greet him.
"How'd I do?" He asked the second he saw her.
"Good.You even made record time." Sora's eyebrows raised at the sound of this.Maybe he really could win."Here," Aaralyn said handing him a glass of water, "Rest up. You have an hour before we switch stations."
