The Twin Alphas Warrior Luna (RYN)

RYN

I ran like my life depended on it.

Suddenly the cheer grew louder and out of curiosity, I discovered that I had given everybody a wide berth. Astonished, I stared at my own legs moving at a super speed and intensified ny race.

A few feet ahead and I saw tiny mountains of stones stacked up in thirteen places and right beside them was something that looked like bags. When I got closer, I realized it wasn't an ordinary kind of bag. It was something made of foreign material and instead of having lea The instruction was clear: pack all stones into the bag. The stones had been set in a way that was easy to arrange and once done, we closed the top and climbed the obstacles ahead to the finish line.

If any stone fell out, we were required to go back and pick it up and we were allowed to attack each other as long as we caused injuries that could heal.

Getting to work, I began to carefully pack the stones into my weird bag. Halfway through, I saw Konan arrive first. He glared at me before rushing to the other

mountain of stones and kicking them down. I watched in disgust as he was able to destroy three people's mounts before going to his own. By then, I was done and I closed the mental straps at the top and padlocked them with the keys given.

By the time Konan was halfway done, I was facing the sixteen feet tall obstacle made of vertical rope nets. Immediately I began to climb, and that's when I remembered all my moutain climbing sessions and how I had gotten better over the months. Now, this exercise felt like one.

About half way up, I began to feel tired. We were told our burdens would weigh roughly three thousand pounds and I don't even weigh half of these boys, talk more of this burden.

Already out of breath, I decided to stop and breathe a little, just to rest my head for a bit. The tone in the crowd suddenly changed and that made me look down. To my horror, I found Konan already almost halfway up, about to reach for my left leg with his clawed hands. Bloody Wolf!

I lifted my leg away from him, placing it higher but I wasn't able to lift the other in time before his claws pierced my skin. I cried out, and in retaliation, I dropped my left leg on his face. He staggered, falling down some rungs and I used that as an opportunity to keep climbing I had no idea the arena had fallen quiet when I was attacked. Now as I continued climbing, they cheered again and that gave me the desire and determination to keep moving. I got to the top and climbed over to begin my descent down.

After that, I just needed to crawl under some barbed wire obstacle and I'd be at the finish line.

Beginning my descent, I noticed others were just getting half way up and that gave me a slight sense of relief.

Now, my back was

burning but I noticed that the place where Konan had clawed me was burning as well. Speaking of the bastard, I noticed he was almost reaching me in height, so I moved to the another side of the net ladder so I wouldn't have to clash with him when going down.

I knew he would try something nasty and just as I predicted, Konan moved towards me. At last, we were standing face to face on opposite ends of the net ladder obstacle at like ten feet high off the ground.

"Didn't I warn you about showing off?" He snarled. "You are making the team look bad!"

"Oh yeah?" I replied. "Did you remember I was part of the team when you clawed my feet asshole?!" I yelled in his face. before proceeding to climb down..

"Very well then." I heard Konan say and just when I focused on the next step to take down, something hard hit me in the face. I closed my eyes on impact as pain exploded in my head and I heard a soft crack in my nose.

As a result of my assault, I lost my footing and by the time my brain registered that I had been kicked in the face, I was already falling.

The world went quiet and time seemed to stop as I flailed in the air, reaching for something, anything that could help.

In that moment, I felt my wolf surge to the surface, flipping my body around so that I landed with my legs slightly spread apart in a low, grounded crouch. One knee is bent in front, the other extended back for stability while my weight was balanced on one arm stretched forw The crowd 'oooohed' and although I was glad I landed well, my back and ankles were killing me. On the plus side, my nose was healed.

Barely able to stand, I craned my neck up to see Konan climb over the net ladder and anger surged within me against him. Putting my beef aside, I crawled to the barbed wire obstacle and began to cross under it. After a while, I looked behind me in time to see Konan skip After staggering a bit, he made his way towards the obstacle.

About three quarters in, and watching the finish line in the distance, I slowed down and let Konan catch up to me. His clawed hand gripped the same spot on my leg again and I bit my lip to endure the

pain. Konan crawled to my side, his face the epitome of smug satisfaction and as I tried to move forward, I saw his elbow coming for my face.

This time I was prepared. I grabbed his coming arm and with my fangs, I sank my teeth into his flesh. He cried out but 1-

didn't let go until I drew blood and while he was distracted, I elbowed him hard in the face, twice, before crawling out the rest of the way with renewed determination.

Once I got out, I tried to rise to my feet but fell again, so I crawled with my last strength until I was across the finish line. The arena roared with cheers and when I realized I had won the first test, I laughed before collapsing to the ground. SEND GIFT
