Old Wood


    Thirteenth Quest


    Thepletion of the quest appeared extraordinary again. For definite reasons the developers were creative. The level of employed means kept increasingpared to the expectations. As soon as the third corner got sted the Mangora monster broke the pearl. With the help of invisible force it dragged back in the higher levels.


    The quest rewards were nowhere and the reason was simple. Third team was gettingte. Thesest quests were testing their patience. Every time they thought to walk ahead the task difficulty increased. Junan wanted to say something about the expected card when the card fell in front of him.


    "There seemed to be some blockhead frustrated and retarded examiners across desks sitting to f*k the difficulty levels despite the fact of time limits." Junan bent down to pick the card. His mood was drastically freaking at this moment. None of the team members until faced this temper from him.


    He was actually cool head team leader. Currently Junan constantly struggled to ovee the difference between remaining quest numbers and the avability of the dead time. He was guiding team members. Running toplete task, mulling over to think smart decisions. Working hard in order to secure the team members from receiving big damage during questpletion.


    Team members heard him and wanted tough but they decided not to do so considering his present mood.


    Junan collected the card in his inventory. He casted nce on the digital clock. "We are ready for the secondst quest?" he looked at the team members and they earnestly nodded.


    rk wanted to ask about the guides and how to study them in minimum possible time however he thought not to ask immediately. Reading guides was another headache for any yer. Most of them would not want to spend time reading words instead they would want to practically test the game options, tasks and the differences.


    "The surrounding did not change this time. I think the safe corner of thisnd is designed to be our next task ce." Sashi broke silence. She was curious why others were not moving or asking the team head. Junan looked at the girl. "Indeed this is the only reason that the surrounding remained same." He gestured them to hurry toward fourth corner of the Exazand.


    As soon as they entered in the next quest area the book of detection opened up with the shining golden clue. Orin got the shock of his life then he looked at team head. Orin has all reason to think that perhaps the rumored retarded examiners sitting across desks heard team head and his tempered words. He coughed and stopped in order to inform about the clue.


    Orin felt the difference before he could speak. They wereing from Exazand which was perfectly stable few moments ago. As he walked in the new quest area the soil behind turned water.


    Orin turned to see what was going on. All Exazand turned in to water. He looked at others. They were equally amazed. "My experience in this portal game is beyond my initial expectations. This is more than any big wonder." Orinmented.


    rk clearly heard hisment. "Perhaps they hired all creative minds however I am still worried about the digits. I mean how many mountains of wealth they are going to umte at the end of portal game?" rk waved his hand in the air as if creating imaginary mountains.


    Team head sighed. "Both of you shoulde out of your imagination or else we won''t be part of that wealth any longer." He reminded them that theirst two quest were still iplete.


    Only then rk happened to see that the previous quest area vanished slowly and the water surrounded. He hurriedly ran toward the dry part which was new quest area. Now that all of them looked around, there was nothing other than water surrounding and the small ind where they standing.


    "Hah, see where it brought us." rkmented. His imaginations shattered thinking that perhaps the third level decided to corner them. It was simr scenario. All of them had same thoughts.


    The small ind might have weed the new visitors however currently it was facing crises. It was part of Exazand but knowing the threat hovering there, someone coward broke the linking chains. Now the Old Wood came under threat because this ind could not stable its grounds on the wavy waters.


    Sooner orter the ind would sink in the water.


    ...


    Old Wood


    The team members felt the unstable ground. "It is actually floating on the water? Are we going to die in case the quest remained iplete?" Orin asked again. He was much afraid from the game dead especially in the portal.


    He still remembered the deaths of miserable opponents. "Do not talk nonsense." Junan red him for the first time. "Nobody will talk about whether we are going toplete the task or not. None of you should spoil the beginning of the quest with your stupid doubt." Junan strictly spoke.


    His temper bombarded team members with harsh tone. They stood silent. Team head was here to make every possible act in order toplete the damn level. They were not here for discussion of possibility or impossibility. The team should necessary work more than best leaving no room for questioning.


    "So what is the clue?" Albert asked. He knew why team head was boiling with temper. The remaining time reached at the red mark. The third levelpletion should necessarily bepleted in the next three hours.


    It was tough enough that cool head Albert was trying to control his nervousness. They looked at Orin. "Save the Old Wood in order to open thest quest ''Fourteenth Cure''. The chains of the ground is broken now. The team has limited time before Old Wood sink in the water." The golden clue carried no more riddle.


    "We know the problem however some inhabitants could clear out what we are supposed to do " Junan looked toward the random houses in the Old Wood.


    "Can we reunite the chains" Jake spoke. During the time team head was scolding others, Jake asked task panel to exin the problem. It was easiest solution suggested by the task panel. There were two more suggestions however they were time consuming.


    Junan stopped in the middle. Apparently the words of the younger yer were impractical however there was no harm if they check once. "Instead to going and search the residents this idea is better. Maybe the chains are still avable that we can repair?" Team head spoke.


    "All those with good swimming skill shoulde forward. Take a dive and see the front part which is making distance. If you see any broken chain, inform immediately."


    Sashi and rk walked forward. They jumped in the water to follow the orders. The clear water let them easily search the surrounding. The waves were trying to force them against the ind and inside rocky part however they were trying their best to remain safe.


    Soon they found the broken chains hanging around the rock. They came back and informed. They found the problem however it was going to be tough as to how they could pull the ind in order to repair the chains.


    "See we are again at the dead end." Orin whispered. He did not want to make team head angry however he was seriously worried. Sashi and rk spent fifteen minutes already to search the chains.


    Jake could no more ask the task panel for perfect solution. He was looking at the distance between twonds. Since it was not long ago that they finish quest in the Exazand so the distance was not big. However the wavy water would surely increased the distance with the time.


    Team members were silent. Junan was thinking to go back and ask the residents while others were as clueless as they could be. Jake felt the sweat on his forehead after his eyes fell at the remaining time.


    Now he was thinking about the temporary solution which could mark the quest aspleted. The Eastern people were famous for their temporary yetughable solution. There were many videos as to how people solve problem no matter how hard the task could be.


    Jake was no exception. He was very familiar with ''Jugarhs'' It was term used for the particr people and their tricks.


    (The audience motionlessly looked at the live screen. None of the team yer was moving. They seemed helpless for the first time. Some of them started predicting that third level would be grave of this team. The audience could see the remaining time. Some of them kept sitting holding their breaths hoping that the team might find a way.


    They started liking this team and particrly supporting them on social media. Some of them searched and knew that this team belong to the ''Sovereign Rulers'' People liked the spirit of the yers of the ''Sovereign Rulers'')
