Chapter 2 - The Checkpoint

The men snarled at everyone as they all got in a line

One guy was watching the front while one was watching

The back Ash was in the middle of the group or what the men called

The pigs.

As they walked out into the snowy island as they saw the mountain "man,that's big" ash said until he felt a taser hit his back stunning his muscles "what the?"

He got down his hands in the snow as the guy from the back walked up to him "when did I say a pig could talk" the guy said picking ash up by his collar and tossing him to the back "I'm keeping my eye on you" the man said.

Ash stood up walking with everyone else "if you guys are lucky we might take a food break before you face it" the snarling man up front said.

"That thing will tear you guys to shredds" the man in the back laughed

The man then got serious "Trust me you won't survive"

Then one of the guys scoffed make the stern men walked to him

And beat him.

"Dont ever talk to your superiors like that you filthy pig"

Ash looked at the stern men and gave them a killer stare

Then the snarling man said "I don't like the way this one is looking at us"

"Oh I just tased this one hehehe" the other man said ready to tase ash again.

Ash looked at the guy didn't say anything no emotion just looked

At him "I'll teach you some manners!" The man said then Turned the taser to a

Hundred percent and tased ash making ash fall to the floor his muscles

Stiff. "NOW be a good pig and stop!"

Then once he got up they made them kept walking

The icey mountains And frozen terrain made it hard

To know where he was "time to stop for a lunch break"

The snarling man said he got out his food it was a

Chicken sandwich but they gave ash and the rest of the people

Bread and water.

But ash didn't eat he just stared at his food

"Mr. You gonna eat your bread" a soft spoken man

Whispered ash shook his head and handed the man the bread

"Thank you sir" the sift spoken man whispered gratefully.

Then ash sat closer to the fire his body freezing still.

After a couple minutes the two men stood up and the snarling man said "Ok get up pigs time to get moving" and everyone stood moving and got back in a line and started moving again one of the people in the front whispered to

Ash "Hey what's your baseline trait?" Ash looked up at him.

"What baseline trait?" He replied "started trait it should appear over your head but only you can see it" the man said. The fact is ash never saw it he was to busy trying to survive he didn't realize so he looked up and saw [fated,death,]

Well that didn't really help. Then he saw something else [voidchild,]

Yeah ash knew he was screwed.

He observed where they were going realizing something

"Were going to the king of the forest" He remembered hearing

Someone talk about how they faced the king of the forest and it almost

Killed them but sadly the person got a curse and died a few days later.

Then ash whispered something the man in front "were heading to the king of the forest" the man froze after hearing this "but I can help you all I need is for you to give me some bread" ash said and the guy gave him half eaten bread

"Here here here just help me!" The guy begged quietly

Ash nodded after getting bread and breaking it into tiny peices and dropping them across the floor as they walked.

As they came across another check point the man stopped to take a break by using the bathroom leaving the pigs to sit there ash kept a tiny little peice of bread for when they got to the top. The pigs sat at the campfire warming up there hands but no matter what he did ash couldn't get warm.

His baseline trait weak and his circumstances sucked

Nothing could be worse.he sat next a chubby guy

Munching on some bread one of the othe guys gave him

"Hey--partner got ----bread" the chubby guy said still munching

On the bread.

"No" ash said calmly while putting the tiny peice of bread behind him

"Ok---partner" the chubby guy said then Turned away to talk to the

Others then the soft spoken man scooted closer

To ash "Hey sir" the soft spoken man said.

"What" ash said staring at the fire "uh wanna be friends, I mean you gave me your bread so-uh" the guy said stammering "no" ash replied

Turning his head back to the fire."Well you haven't had any food so atleast ask some of the other guys around here" the soft spoken man pleaded.

But ash shook his head "Ok well ask if you get hungry" the soft spoken man-

Said then tried to pat ashes shoulder but ash slapped his hand away "were not buddy's so don't touch me" He said calmly.

So then the soft spoken man turned away "ok..." and he walked away to someone else.then the two men finally got out the bathroom "come on pigs time to keep moving" the snarling man said so everyone stood up and got back in line and kept walking.

Ash observed the ice shard hanging on the edge Of the mountain

And decided to remember ot for later then the snarling man spoke up "ok we you pigs well have to stop when we reach the next check point since a storm his pulling up so we need fire wood food a water so find once we get there and if you don't hehehe Wil you Don't want to know" the guy turned on his taser

Then turned it off.

And shortly they reached the next checkpoint

"Ok pigs time to search!-" the two men said collectively.
