VI
"Teams leaders." A squirrel said in a white cloak, along with nineteen others. They started naming off, "Orysyko will be the first leader." I heard some cheers come off from the couple-hundred Mobians. "Second in Barley. Third is Mesoku, and last is Malkom." I uncovered my ears and heard the squirrel continue.
"Orsyko, begin." I saw the four of them walk a good distance away from each other, and I assumed that was because there were so many of us that we'd get crowded.
"Iris." I knew that was coming. I walked toward him; most of the eyes were on me. Getting self-conscious I kept my gaze down. When I was next to him, he gave me his signature smirk. It was about half an hour before teams were chosen. I wonder how big this event will be, because there's a lot of Mobians here. When I say a lot, I mean A LOT, in the hundreds.
"The teams are even, clean, and we are ready to start." Said a Walrus in a white cloak. He spread one of his arms out and we looked at the direction he aimed for. Just a minute ago, there was a huge room. The room was a dome shape with glass surroundings. After the Mobian dropped his arm, the dorm magically grew en times its original size. I blink and one of the entrances to the Labyrinth stood in front of us. Huge bushes stood at the sides of the arch the start made. I tried looking further into the Labyrinth, but I had no success.
"There are four entrances, one exit. Your goal is to make it to the heart of the maze, collect the prize, and safely find the finish." There were loud cheers coming form Barley's team.
"GET TO AN ENTRANCE." The squirrel announced. The teams quickly started to part and walk forward to their destinations. Oyrsyko swung his arm above his hiead, motioning we follow.
"I guess there's going to be four groups this time. I wonder what made them change their mind." He told me as he checked behind him to se if everyone was following.
"How many leaders were there originally going to be?" I asked him.
"Six." I frowned, "Then who'd they take off?"
"You wouldn't know them." I rolled my eyes.
We finally got to our starting point, and five of the council members were at each start. They all stood there for a second before saying in unison, "GET READY." I took a deep breath in, trying to calm myself down. This shouldn't bee that hard, right?
You know you're always wrong.
Shut up.
I looked over and saw Orsyko give me his signature smirk, and I rolled my eyes. I wasn't sure if I was ready for this, but by the looks of everyone else, they were.
"YOU MAY ENTER." And we were off.
