The Obstacle.is The Way Kindle Novels & Stories

Amma's question was posed with genuine worry, her motherly instincts urging her to address whatever discomfort Rithanya was experiencing. "Yes, Amma. I want something to drink. Cane juice?" Rithanya's response was soft, a contrast to the previous outburst. Her request for cane juice seemed like a yearning for refreshment—both for her parched throat and perhaps for her spirit. "Driver, please pull over when you see a cane juice shop," Amma instructed the driver before turning her attention back to Rithanya. A mother's concern and curiosity intertwined as she prompted, "So, tell me. How are things?"

But the women including Jazz was trailing behind, soon after the men came into view and with that view came the big ass obstacle they had to cross in order to get to the Cafeteria right behind it. “I know you fucking lying, who the fuck is doing all that dumb shit when we just got finished running like Flo Jo.” Essence said, slowing down and walking her way to Unique who stood waiting for her. He handed her some bottled water, which she drank so fast she had to think about where the top was, because she was sure she didn't even take the top off. “Why do they continue to play in our faces with the bull shit. Why the fuck would they put a big ass obstacle blocking our fucking way. Do we look l

The race wasn't the problem but the 'OBSTACLES' kept on the way. The first obstacle we met was grating cymbals. Here, two big cymbals made of silver and mercury clash with one another. The competitors had to endure the blaring sound of the cymbals before moving to the next obstacle, and as luck had it I escaped the first obstacle while some other competitors; so-called she-wolves, fell. The second obstacle was to pass through a ravaging fire where sets of sharp piercing arrows were hung. Just as I got there, I saw the notice board placed before the obstacle that competitors should withdraw if he or she could not pass through the phase.

It’s still going to hurt like hell when I get thrown into it, which I assume is happening soon. At the edge of the fields, Holt gestures toward a monstrous obstacle course, and my stomach twists with dread and anticipation. It’s enormous. It reminds me of the Obliterator at the Royal Camp—which I swore was designed by a sadist with a death wish—but this one’s even more intense. More sprawling. And just as twisted.

I nodded to Maureen and approached her, I need to pass this stage ASAP. If it's just about speed, I know I can overcome our obstacle course sooner than they expect. But I need to be quick and accurate. I can't make a mistake. This obstacle course is not just a simple obstacle course. "Listen, this obstacle course contains traps that might injure you. So, analyze everything before you proceed." Psalm speech. "Let's start now." We all nodded at what Savienna said. He chose the pair to enter and I thought we would be first but it turned out not to be.

"Rule 101, never literally believe what any of these guys say." Ash meant that it was ironic, and that the round wasn't simple like he had stated. "It's called the Obstacle Gauntlet. You have to scale through the terrain as a group, and there's a finish line. Whatever group gets there first gets points, the last group gets zero points. And...you must step on the finish line as a group, leave no one behind." He explained and instructed. "Sounds easy." I subconsciously let out and Ash and Cruz practically hushed me.

On the wide field, there were so many obstacles, such as three-step piles, a ditch, a low wall, a high jumping platform, a single plank bridge, a high wall, and so on. How would I be able to clear all of them in thirty seconds? It would only be possible if I grew wings and flew over them. "What? Do you have any objections?"

There's been no real time for getting to know each other in that way. Once this is all over, though, I would love to learn more. Maybe even meet them. Suddenly, Elena throws an arm over my chest. "Stop!" I gasp and grind to a halt. "What?" "Looks like it won't be so easy accessing the obelisk after all." I follow her gaze to see a wall of thick, thorny vines blocking our path. The vines look impenetrable, and I can see why Elena stopped us. We'll need to find a way around them if we want to get to the obelisk.

— Lap 2 — As I emerge from the obstacle course, I have barely a moment to catch my breath before the hail of arrows and spears rain down. I duck as low as I can in my seat while maneuvering the vehicle back and forth, dodging the projectiles piercing the air. My heart races, adrenaline pumping through my veins as I navigate this doom - The Gauntlet.

My child, ye are full of surprises! Maddie chuckles as she lays out the wood obstacles. "These are just in case ye manifest a physical power-, tossing things across the field, all that fun nonsense." "What about the herbs?" Selene's eyes bouquet hanging from a pole. "Oh, that's just to differentiate the obstacle items! It's also amusing to see yer face wondering what they are for!" Maddie walks to the center of the field. "Let's start. Distortion is simple. Imagine a picture in yer mind and then manifest. How about a waterfall?" Maddie suggests.
