Another week or so later

Blake having fully recovered from that fight with Stryke is now wandering about a town when hears

?: Hey did you hear the challenge is happing today!

?: Yeah, I wonder if the king will actually be taken down

?: don't forget they need to get through his guards first

Blake over hears this and decides to walk over

Blake: Hey what are you guys talking about

?: oh you must be a traveler, basically

It happens once a year, the winner gets too become ruler of the village, but the challenge is not easy, believe me

Blake: oh really what is it?

Man: Well first the challenger needs to take on the Ruler's guard, they are beasts that reside in a dungeon beneath the village, they say very few are able to beat them but if you do, you get the right to challenge the Ruler for his throne

Blake: Amazing does the Ruler change often

Man: that's the thing..it hasn't changed for a really long time, not since the current Ruler appeared apparently he may of even been the first, they say he's kept alive by his unbelievable magic powers and everytime someone challenges him, two things happen

Blake looks interested

Man: firstly they lose in a one sided beatdown which the chief seems to revel in, next they are never seen again, some say they are banished, some say the chief kills them, others say they are thrown into the dungeon as food for the guards

Blake: well then..heh it sounds interesting

Man: you seem strong kid, I wish you the best of luck, but do you really want to rule

Blake: nah I just wanna see who this guy is

Blake disappeared into the wind and after a lot of moving he found himself in front of a woman

Blake: Hey are you still taking sign ups for the competition

Woman: Yes indeed I am, do you need it explained too you

Blake: nope I had a helpful person explain it to me moments ago

Woman: well that's great, what is your name

Blake: my name is Blake

Woman: traveller huh, hoping to settle down in luxury

Blake: we'll see

Woman: I guess we will, alright let me stamp this

She stamps something and gives it too Blake

Woman: this will get you in the dungeon, it also has directions on the back

Blake turns it over and sees the directions

Blake: thank you

Woman: no worries and good luck

Blake nods: thanks

He disappears again going in the direction of the dungeon

"If you think this is going fast well don't worry it'll be good"

He eventually makes it too a a gate that seems too open into a tunnel

Their are two guards blocking it

Guard: State your buisness

Blake: too take the challenge

Guard smiles a little: present your ticket
