-Frey Starlight's Pov-
The games had begun…
The sound of pounding footsteps and excited shouting filled the air, as if we were in some sort of chaotic marathon.
The temple's army had already started to scatter the moment we stepped into the accursed forest…
The towering trees blocked out the sky, and green vines slithered across the ground like serpents.
It was a familiar environment… one that oddly made me feel nostalgic.
I moved in absolute silence thanks to Phantom Steps, avoiding contact with the other students as much as I could. After all, they were already causing a ridiculous amount of noise.
Nightmare creatures were drawn to certain things more than others—
Light… and sound.
Sssssss
Only minutes into the island, the vanguard ran into their first challenge.
Creatures the size of humans appeared, taking the form of grey-scaled lizards that emitted a foul, filthy aura.
They resembled Komodo dragons, if anything.
