Laceless and Prince now stand amongst the rest to show off their straight and accuracy with the wild game of axe throw or swing. "Alright let's go!" Laceless beams with happiness as he takes hold of Princes hand, dragging themselves through the building toward the back.

"Today We Are Gathered To See Which Man..Or Women!" The announcer gestures toward the few ladies amongst crowd. "Can Aim Their Axe On The Spot! I Wish You All Luck!" The crowd cheers now pairing in groups of two bringing their partners to the area they must stand in.

Of course Laceless takes Prince by the hand and they both stand in the zone they must be in. The target is placed in front of them at least seven feet away or more. So you basically must have a good arm for this game. The announcer goes around and hands all the folks their axe and then stands toward the back.

"Wait! So we have to throw these things at that target!?" Prince holds his axe with some problems. Laceless nods with joy and walks beside Prince taking his hands. "You shouldn't hold it like that" Laceless helps Princes by gripping the axe correctly.

Now positioned the right way Laceless blushes nervously and backs away feeling his face flush with embarrassment. "S-Sorry..I shouldn't have laid a hand on you unless you gave an okay.." Prince grips the axe tighter with his blush covering his face.

"I-it's fine..honestly..." the boys fall quiet not knowing who should speak up first but then the announcers voice boomed through their quiet.
"Let's Start! Ready! And Go!" He shouts which makes everyone around start throwing their axe at the target.

"Laceless I don't know how to throw an axe!" Prince whines clenching the items that's placed in his hands. "It's alright. Look. Let your arms lean back then throw forward with as much force!" Laceless did a demonstration for Prince while he spoke.

"Alright.." Prince shy fully said as he does what he was showed. And in an instant he got it far enough to where it landed in the black zone. Both astonished by the accuracy of the winding hurl. "Oh my cod Laceless I did It!!" Prince jumps out of exhilaration.

"You Did!" Laceless praises his teammate and gives a high five to congratulate his strike. Continuing on both boys are phenomenal taking their aims, and making every second in their little minutes count.

"Three!"

The announcer screams out toward the crowd as he walks around. It's now almost coming to an end. The folks in the area have to take one final swing just to win this contest. Laceless and Prince are both extremely delighted with the progress they made.

So now only one of them must take one swing for their team win. "I think you should give it a try Prince" Laceless hands the axe over for the young King to take. The smaller sun yellow squid shows a friendly smile, knowing Prince can do it.

"...I'm still very new at this though...you should take the win. You're really great at this!" Prince protested with a shy yet frighten grin. Laceless sighs out softly and walks over taking Princes hands in his.

He places the axe in the others palms and closes his fingers shut, pushing it gently toward his chest.

"Experience the moment in your own way" Laceless smiles wide with confidence and steps away, raising his hand for the announcer to come over. "Sir! My partner will be standing in for the end" Prince tenses up and looks down coming to realization that he still holds the axe.

"A-Ah! W-Wait! Laceless!..."

"Good Luck! I Believe In You!!" Laceless runs off where the ones who stepped down are at. All stand back behind their partner and watch them from a far. "Okay...okay...I got this..." Prince weakly spoke gripping more and more.

{ it's doesn't matter if you win or not...you just gotta try on your own }

Laceless seems to beam intensely as he stands in the back watching the young King nervously hold the items he has. "ALRIGHT! On Your Marks, Get Set! Throw!!" The man shouted.

All others around. Men and women take breaths and make aim. Some land in well pointed area others miss and some just straight up got in a dead zone.
Prince holds his ground as he freezes with terror.

{ I don't want to lose! Not when he's here watching...I don't think a King should...lose... }

Prince then stops his tense full grip and loosens up thinking back on what he just thought. "Experience The Moment In My Own Way! Even if that means I miss!" Prince grips once again and made his arms linger back then with a forceful thrust he hurled it forward at the target.

And in a split second Prince landed a hit on the first red mark. "..AHHHAA!! Laceless I Hit It! I Hit It!!"
The young King cheers with his arms springing in the air with victory. Laceless laughs and rushes over with his arms wide, taking the king in for an embrace.

"Prince!...you did great" Laceless pulls away and stares into the young Kings eyes. They stare at each other's direction, admiring one another's eyes. The announcer then makes all back off from the area and start to tally up their points.

"Whatever happens..I'm just glad I got to do this with you!" Prince reaches down and holds Laceless'
They both stand together and wait for the points to come in. To determine the winner.
