Marc & Steven POV

⚠️WARNING: cuss words & violence

Song: Enta by DJ Kaboo

The air smelt of rain, the ground was wet, puddles of water scattered across the floor. With each step I took, the crunch of the wet gravel would shift, causing some of the jackals to turn their attentions towards me. As I looked around the corner, I saw five jackals, each in a different section of the village. "Ok, if I go around the corner, go through each section between the buildings, take the jackals out one by one...that could work." I said under my breath. "Steven, I'm going to need you to take control of the body for a moment once we get around the corner. I'm going to use one of your truncheons to try and stab them. The crescent moon isn't going to do much against that thing." "The what?" I mentally face palmed. "Your sticks." "Oh, Got it. Go around, summon the suit, grab my sticks, give you back control. I can do that." Steven spoke back the plan just to be sure of himself. I hurriedly went around the corner and tried to see where the jackal is. But I can't see shit from how dark it is. The only light that was around was the fire next to the flag. I went around the corner slowly, Steven took control of the body and held one of his truncheons in his hand. I then took back control and rushed the jackal. I stabbed its neck the best I could so it could barely make any noise. The light breathless squeal released from its mouth before I finished it off by stabbing my crescent moon into its heart...if it even had a heart. The quiet sounds of steps seemed to approach me as I quietly placed the dead jackal on the floor. "Shit" "Shit" me and Steven both thought as we quickly climbed up to the top of one of the buildings. I laid flat on the ground as I saw the dark figure of some jackals sniffing around. One started to sniff the ground, which made my heart drop. I carefully watched as they started to eat one of their own kind. "That's disgusting." I just nodded at his statement. I began to slowly crawl backwards as I tried to not to be seen before I rose up. I stopped to see the distance from the other building to where I was. "I can make that." I tilted my head slightly in an agreement with my own thoughts. I ran as fast as I could towards the ledge before leaping into the air onto the next building. "Just run. Get in and get out as quickly as you can." I thought before jumping across to the next roof, approaching the building with the flag in it as quickly as possible. "Marc, we need to try and play this safe! We don't know what kind of traps might be up here." "We don't have time to be slow Steven. There is a timer, I just know there is. Even if there isn't one to show us that we are being timed, I just know there's one only the council can see. And if we are going to be slow and end up not getting the flag, I'm blaming you. We get there, get out as quickly as possible, then come back." I heard Steven tsk at me. "Easier said than done." I could mentally tell he rolled his eyes as his voice was laced with sass. "Or I could give you control and you try and figure it out, how about that? Remember the last time you tried to fight one of these?" "Yea, well I didn't know I was an avatar of an Egyptian god! And besides I've gotten better. Remember when we fought against Harrow? I did pretty good there mate." "Steven. Shush. I need to focus." "You're only saying that because I proved a poin-" "shut it." I slid slightly as I could barely see the last ledge of the roof to try and stop myself. The light from the fire made it only easier to see when you were close, which was still wasn't useful. I saw the distance between where I stood and the tall building. "Steven, I need you to get the other truncheon out again." Steven then took control and held his second truncheon before giving me back control. I breathed in and out to calm myself as I began to walk backwards slowly before stopping at a good distance away from the ledge.

Y/N

It had been hours before Marc had went. I watched as he was about to attempt the same method I did. I narrowed my eyes as I saw he didn't have anything that could latch onto the roof, no where for him to swing across, no zip line. All I saw was his truncheons in his hands. And that was when the realization hit me. "He's crazy..." he was going to jump and use his truncheon as a way to climb up. He has guts, I'll give him that. It was as though I was watching a movie, waiting to see what would happen next, siting at the edge of my seat.
