Chapter 92 - First Test.
Darth’s eyes widened in shock, ”Are you joking?!”
Isaac rubbed his eyes and opened them one more time, but the only thing he saw was pitch darkness.
Darth took a step forwards and was about to walk next to Isaac, but then a loud shout came.
”Don’t move!” The voice caused Darth to flinch and stop his movement.
That shout came from Isaac, who heard Darth’s footsteps clearly like it was coming right next to him.
”What’s wrong?” Darth asked curiously, while his leg was only an inch away from touching a tile with an eye with a red pupil.
He pulled his leg back and stopped moving.
Isaac started remembering everything he had seen so far, and the only thing that came to mind was the eye with white pupils.
”Is there more eyes with white pupils?” Isaac asked from Darth.
Darth looked around the floor, and he saw at least a dozen of them!
”There are quite many!” He replied with a shout, which caused Isaac to cover his ears in pain.
”I am blind, not deaf!” Isaac screamed, which caused Darth to scratch his head with embarrassment.
Isaac touched his ears tenderly and felt like his ears were super sensitive. He could even hear the soft breathing of Darth’s and distinct noises of the Players, who were still in front of the five paths.
”Speak more quietly this time.”
”Alright.” Darth said softly and asked, ”What is the plan?”
”Tell me where the eyes with white pupils are located.”
”Okay.” Darth looked towards the floor and said, ”The nearest one is next to you, on the left side.”
Isaac took a small step towards the left and waited with an anxious heartbeat, but nothing happened.
He thought he heard a quiet sound of bullets being put into chambers and the sound of something burning.
”Continue,” Isaac said softly.
”Two steps in front of you.”
Isaac raised his leg and started stretching it forwards, ”Tell me when the leg is above the tile with an eye.”
Darth watched as Isaac’s leg was slowly moving forwards, and soon it crossed the first tile and appeared on top of the second.
”Now.” He said softly, and Isaac heard it greatly.
*Tap*
Isaac put down his feet and gulped with nervousness, but nothing happened. He carefully moved his other leg to the same tile and finally relaxed his muscles after a nerve-wracking experience.
*Creak*
Darth snapped his head towards the sound and saw the massive eye opening and another path appearing!
”What happened?!” Isaac anxiously asked and thought he had made a mistake.
”A path!” Darth said with excitement, but then he remembered to keep his voice quiet.
Isaac rubbed his ears and nodded, ”Continue.”
It went for another 10 minutes. Isaac felt like it was the longest 10 minutes in his life, but finally, he landed on the tile, which was right in front of the path.
”You are in front of the path now,” Darth said and felt like his heart was about to explode.
”Is there anything in the path?” Isaac asked. He wanted to be sure and not make any mistakes.
Darth instantly answered, ”No, there is nothing.”
Isaac nodded and took a decisive step forwards.
*Clink!*
Another bright light appeared, but this time from the path.
”Arghh!” Darth and the group of Players closed their eyes in agony.
Isaac suddenly saw the light appearing and the darkness disappearing.
He blinked a couple of times, and a massive smile appeared on his face.
He could see the path clearly in front of them. He never thought that he would miss his eyesight so badly.
”Darth, my eyesight is back!” Isaac shouted and turned around to see Darth and the Players behind him look confused.
”Wraith, did the lights go off?” Darth asked.
”What?!” Isaac shouted, ”I couldn’t hear you!”
”Did the lights go off!” Darth shouted one last time.
A wry smile appeared on Isaac’s face, ”No!”
”Fuck!” Darth screamed.
”I will help you go through this! Take two steps forwards!” Isaac’s shouted while using his tiny lungs to usher all the strength to increase the volume of his voice.
Darth did as he was being told and took two steps.
His two feet landed on the tile with white pupils.
The group of Players behind them looked pale white. When they tried to walk, they crashed with their friends.
”Stop moving!” Rolex screamed, ”Morons!”
Isaac looked at the scene with an amused smile, and after dozen minutes, Darth also arrived on the path.
His vision soon got restored, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
”Let’s go!” He high-fived with Isaac, and both of them had relieved smiles on their attractive faces.
The first test was successfully completed!
”U-Umm, guys. Can you guys guide us as well?” Rolex humbly asked with his head lowered, while his friends behind him felt slightly embarrassed.
Darth and Isaac looked at each other and shrugged.
”No.” Both of them said simultaneously and started walking in the path, leading to who knows where.
Rolex had veins popping up in his forehead as his face morphed into anger, ”Bastards! I will remember you two! You hear me?! I will find you two and fucking rob everything you two have!”
Isaac and Darth only heard distinct screaming noises.
”I am getting quite scared for the next test.” Darth had chills coming up on his back.
”I am sure we will be fine.” Isaac said with a calm smile, ”Now we can somewhat predict what the next clues are saying.”
Darth nodded, ”We should have chosen the one with nose.”
Isaac chuckled, ”I am not sure would it be any easier.”
Darth shrugged.
They kept walking for another dozen minutes, and soon their faces were morphed into annoyance.
In the distance, they saw five paths again!
”Damn…” Darth scratched his head, ”Should have guessed this would be happening.”
They arrived in front of the five paths, and they noticed that there was only one path leading here.
”Others have different choices?” Darth asked curiously.
”Probably,” Isaac said and looked at the five paths, and all of them had symbols, but this time slightly different.
The first path had a figure of a man who seemed to search for something.
The second path had a figure of a woman who was using her hands as a telescope.
The third path had a figure of a child who was hiding underneath a table, while another child walked past the table and was trying to find someone or something.
The fourth path had a figure of a woman with obscure facial features. She was carrying a bow and was aiming towards the large object in the sky, which resembled of a moon.
The fifth path had a figure of a man who was throwing a ball-like item.
