Miraqua precisely cuts of the intact fin and gills saying: “Well, the last tuff part…you need to eat it raw; now! As long it’s still intact!”

  In this world everything has in some way or another a price, Riven′s price was the indescribable pain and rest he needs now, this is Veylan′s price. Triple fin sharks are told to be the most disgustingly tasting fish type animals that exist, this is also the reason why no one other animal hunts them.

  The gills and the fin weighed a few kilos together. One bit, after another. One bite after another.

  Veylan, being a little picky in food made things just worse.

  But after an hour or two he really did it.

  Throwing up. This is what he thought at the most in this moment “I know you’re thinking at throwing up; don’t do it. Only if you want to do it again…”

  A few minutes later he began to feel much better.

  Veylan went into a little pond and put his face into it; he could take a breath like normally. As the rest of the body went in, he noticed a little fin in his back; suddenly he was multiple times faster than ever in the water.

  “Well, you can go now, I think. It was nice to meet you and good luck for the exam!” Miraqua said, but Veylan still had plans… “Let me tell you something…”

  Meanwhile, Lorken was just chilling at the big pond. Just having a nice chilly time. Relaxing at the pond, getting some fish when he is hungry and killing a few people who come to the pond and taking their badges…even though it was so calm there was something that made him worries: “Where are you, Veylan? I am starting to worry hehe…it would be really bad if you got killed by an animal or maybe what was his name? Draven?” Might sound like casual unserious thoughts but deep inside it really made him worry and go crazy even though it was subtle.

  Suddenly he heard something from a bush. “Is this Veylan, no he wouldn’t be that loud! Or maybe it’s part of his plan…oughh I am getting excited hehe…or maybe it’s just some boring random?!”

  Lost in thoughts he heard someone from the bush, it was Veylan: “Lorken, come here! I want to show you something!” Lorken knew it was a trap, but he was massively interested. He was a little lazy to stand up. He looked at the bush with a treacherous smile, imagining Veylan in it.

  Being lost in thoughts and fantasy something unexpected happened.

  Veylan jumped out of the pond like a dolphin, took Lorken′s badge and disappeared in the pond. “W-what?” Lorken was so fascinated so much, that he couldn’t even say what he felt or even thought. He was so proud of Veylan that not even his fantasy and imagination could communicate what he felt.

  Back down at the temple Veylan thanked Miraqua for her help and planned to go to Riven and wait the rest of the time. But there was something he wouldn’t let get go of “This Lorken just likes me even more now, what an disgusting scum back…but more important is about my father…I managed to read his first hint…why is he doing this…why doesn’t he leads me straight to the plateau of piece? Does he maybe do know the way himself? It must be more than that! But one thing I wondered is how I should tell him…”

  Thinking of this he arrived at the place, after pushing the stones away and entering the door.

  “Good grief.” Riven was there. “Maybe he just moved, maybe somewhere for food or maybe he found somewhere to sleep at…”

  As he searched around in the whole forest until he found a big house.

  Knock, knock, knock…

  An elderly woman opened the door. “Oh, are you the other boy Riven talked about?” Veylan agreed and got invited in.

  On the second floor he found Riven in a bed resting. “Don’t stress him, he needs rest…” The woman said before leaving the two alone.

  Riven seeing Veylan he jumped at him giving him a tight hug, while crying he says “Haha…you made it! You really made it! Thank God, I thought something happened!”

  Showing Him Lorken′s badge he looks happy saying “Good, it’s okay if I don’t pass. At least you did it…” As he also showed Riven′s badge he began to jump around and dance out of happiness.

  The next day…

  Veylan went into Riven′s room to wake him up. “Riven, wake up. You can rest later, let’s eat for breakfast and move to the rescue place…” Slowly waking up they suddenly head someone break into the house and the old lady “Please…please, take what you want but don’t hurt us!”

  Slash.

  Even though they ran as much as possible down to help, she was already a head shorter.

  At the medical shelf no one else than Draven stood mumbling, talking to himself. With a lot of injuries “Shit. Shit.” He said at every item he looked at “Damn, why does everyone only have the useless medication?” While looking throw the shelve Draven acted like someone was talking to him “What? You mean this is good? Okay?!” As he took care of his injuries, he noticed the two, looking at them with malicious stare without even using his aura.

  Riven wanted to kill Draven and attack him, Veylan held him back and ran away together.

  They were one of the first at the rescue place. Riven sat down at a tree. “T-this is not fair!” He cried while punching over and over again “Why can he do this, why is this possible and even why!”

  There were already some participants with them waiting, everyone heard and deduced about what he complaints.

  Some resonated with him, some didn’t care at all, some were unsure.

  Hours later ultimately fifteen participants stood there, four hadn’t enough points.

  Gideon thorn himself stepped out. “Hello. I am happy to see you all, more than usual passed the exam, well, well…but you surely don’t to hear so much from an old geezer. Come in! The last phase starts soon! Haha…”

  Many were shocked, beside Talen and Draven, Lorken was just a little surprised.

  Gideon already faced the participants with his back but still said: “Don’t worry kids, the last phase is…a conversation with me, alone. I just want to get to know who they knew Alecti are…”

  Shortly after there was a list for the direction who has the conservation first. The first would be Draven, Talen secondly, Lorken thirdly, Veylan fourthly, Riven afterwards and then everyone else.

  Right before Draven would come in an examiner gave President Gideon and list of questions: “I am maybe old, but I am not senile! Haha…”

  Draven stepped in expressionless, sat down silently. “So? What do you want? You said it’s just a little conservation? I don’t believe you. You want to test something even though it isn’t physical.” Gideon stayed calm smiled saying “Your young people are always in such a hurry, haha…why don’t we drink a tee? Or maybe some coffee?”

  This made Draven look through the president: “Oh, I understand; you knew I was going to be impatient so you’re testing it; I saw through it!”
