A Journy for Freedom

Fire dancing

Author:
In this chapter, we will see if Scot and Poland accomplished the last of the four obstacles to save Philip. So let's begin.

(Scot's POV)
Lvl. 2
We woke up early once we heard an alarm, but I don't know where it came frome.
Maybe it's the alarm of "the voice" so he would be able to wake us up. The platform for level 2 was raised. Although it doesn't seem dangerous as level 1. It had two giant inflatable balls, and at the corner, if the platform were a set of sticks.

After a couple of seconds of starting the voice spoke up.
"For today's first challenge you will be balancing on top of the round inflatable ball while juggling burning sticks. To make this more interesting Scot and Poland will still be cuffed together"

"Then what is the other ball supposed to be for ay lassy?"
"And here's the twist, to make it easier for you guys...

Philip will be joining you, you may ir may not know this but Philip is an expert in fire dancing. Just follow his instructions carefully.
If you complete this task Philip will be set free, however if you fail you three will get your first punishment. Hopefully you will fail , but this is a rather easy task I must say. Oh and also , if you move your ball to far to the left or right a trap will be set off. Good luck! You might need it"

Here is an example of how good they are -w-
(Back to the story)

Phil got lowered down slowly , when he was low enough the cage opened up, he stepped out looking very confident.

The voice spoke up again,
"I will only give you 5 mins to plan your strategies, once that 5 mins are up no more extensions. 5 mins starts now"

The 5 mins started and we began asking Phil on what are the best strategies on juggling the flaming torches. He explained and answered are questions one by one , and once the 5 mins were over we felt, kinda ready.

Author : it's kinda like this ( skip to 4:20)

We began clumbing on top of our rubber balls , at least it was chained to the ground , but once we stood up on it the cahins broke in half.
Me and poland struggled to stay on , but Philip effortlessly rilled the ball closer to us so the juggling will be less difficult.

"You only get 3 tries for this round." The voice said. "If you drop your torches or stumble off your ball you will have another try. But if your third try was a fail you three shall face the consequences. Once you here a horn blare you shall beguin the juggling"

*HONK!*
And with that we started , the first try was difficult , Philip however seemed emotionless about it and seemed rather calm. As I was staring at Phil trying to focus like him , Poland tripped on his large wings, "Aaah!" We both yelled as we fell of the ball.
We both fell on our face , fortunately nothing broke. We were just bruised.

"Trial number 2!" The voice yelled as we climbed back on top of our ball. "You need to relax and not iver think the entire situation!"
Philip yelled , he was still on top of his ball with his flaming torches, which surprised me.
Me and Poalnd nodded in response . During our second trial . It was easier now that we know a couple of things that we shouldn't do. Also Poland began raising his wings up so he wouldn't trip on ut again.

Second trial wasn't very successful though , Philp even if a professional fire dancer , he still managed to butn his hand and drop  the torch. Apparently he didn't wear his fire proof gloves which he always had with him. The preassure was on and , this time we found fire proof gloves to wear. "Ok we need to juggle for at least 3p secobds to be able to move on to the next level" Poland said . "We need to be careful and execute our strategies perfectly " Philip said in a loud and clear tone.

*HONK!*
The horn blared , we all started juggling , making sure that we don't drop any if the torches , we made sure that we didn't trip. Although we were trying our hardest we still mananged to move the ball to far to the right. 3p secs were almost up when we did that. Snakes and other vemenous reptiles began climbing our ball. So , to avoid them we moved back and front to shake them off. Phil began to panic but still made an effort to maintain his posture until the second horn for the third trial blares.

A snake befan climbing up my leg and yet I tried to continue, trying not to anger it.
Until....

*HONK!*

It was the horn signaling that we can stop.
Fortunately for me the loudness of the horn scared away the snake. Holes opened up under each and every vemenous reptile in the room.

"WE DID IT!" Phil and Poland yelled .
"Yes we did !" I yelled in excitement.
"Is it suddenly hotter to you guys too, or is it just me ?" Poland asked .
"Masasanay ka din "Phil told Poland , who seemed to be confused.
( Translation: You'll eventually get used to it)

"Alright what's next!!!" Poland yelled in excitement.
"Ano pa man yan, handa na ako"
(What ever it is , i'm ready)
"Alright let's do this!"
I yelled as excitedly as Poland.

A cage was then lowered down and our smiles turned into frowns. "Viet?"
We all said together , shocked at what we were seeing.
Inside the cage was a weak and beaten up country.

"Now look at this fella," the voice suddenly said during the silence.
"He was getting a wee bit too aggressive during his stay." A new voice said , which made us perplexed. "Great now we need to beat two of you. " Phil murmured.
"So we decided to teach him a little lesson ."
The first voice , whome we would call
( so it wouldn't be confusing) Lorenzo.

*this is a hint for you to find out who the first voice is.*

And the second one Ciara
* also a hint*
"Oh this will be fun," They said in unison.
And because of their tone I knew that the next level will be more challenging.
