Author's note: First of all, I'm seriously very sorry for no updates for two months. To tell the truth, I was, well, slacking. Therefore, I'm going to update as-much-chapters-as-I-can for this few days.


As the seven walked through the gate, it closed itself.


"So, a few weaklings decided to pass our tests? You will have to go through five tests. If you pass, you are then worthy to enter the city. If not, your life ends." A loud voice said.


"I'm not weak!"Flame shouted.


"Then prove it. The first test is... the trap room."The voice said.


"I think that he meant that this room is now full of traps?"Strife asked.


"Bingo! Now shut up and clear this room or just get killed by its traps. Your objective, is to get to the door."The voice replied.


"This looks easy, lets just walk to the door. Ok, lets-whoops!"Flame said while taking a step forward. An arrow flew past him, missing his ears by inches.


"This is dangerous. We have to move carefully. Take the wrong step and you will die."Gale said while looking around.


"I think that there should be a specific way of moving through this room."River commented.


"Agreed, but it will be dangerous to just step on any random tile to find out if it triggers a trap."Sky replied.


"Hey, what's that?"Aurora asked while pointing at the wall.


"It's a board with writings on it."Staner said while looking closely at it.


"It says 'NNWWSSESWWWNWNNENNESNWENWNENNESNNEN' What's that supposed to mean?"Flame read the board.


"I think it means NSEW means North, South, East and West."Strife replied.


"Which may mean forward, backwards, move right and move left. There is a red line here, which probably means that the instructions start from the red line."Gale said while looking at the floor.


"We can't possibly remember the entire instruction. It's quite long."Staner commented.


"Each of us can remember just one part of it."Aurora replied.


"Hmm... good idea."Gale said.

"So mine will be NNWWS, Sky will remember SESWW and so on."Gale instructed.

Therefore, the seven followed the instructions and finally was able to go through but they had some injuries.

"Oh impressive! To think that you could pass the first test! The rest will not be so easy. Here's a present for you."The voice said.

A block of metal fell down from nowhere.

"Watch out!"Staner shouted.

The block of metal fell through the floor.

"Are you trying to kill us!?"Flame shouted.

"That's right!"The voice replied.

*Sweatdrops*

The door swung open.
