THE DIVINE ARTIFACTS AS WAGER
"Where is the Bully?" our captain asked but I wasn't there sitting with the team.
"He was never with us right from the beginning", a teammate replied to the captain.
"We should just lay low. This challenge is not meant for us", the captain told the team as they held their heads low, waiting for the ceremony to be over and leave.
"Oriese, come out now", Vlassis shouted again challenging me to appear to face him.

"Are you really going to ignore the challenges?" Rinna asked me.
"I am still thinking. I am on the losing end if I allow this scum to challenge me without paying the usual wager", I replied to her.
"At what length will these people go to just to challenge you without paying up?" Chash asked me.
"Just bloody fight the scum. You came here for this purpose", Sara told me.
"You are right. I wouldn't uncover the mystery of the potion in the city and the scheme behind it if I don't fall for the scheme", I replied to her.
