Chapter 41 The First Challenge

  • Lucy’s POV
  • The time was 0530 hours and we were both kneeling where the bridge started. Malena was busy casting her spells and chanting doing her thing. If this was in any other day and it wasn’t me ready to be the alligators' meal, I would have paid attention to what she was saying but no, I was totally scared out of my wits and all I heard her say was pure gibberish. Not meaning any disrespect to her craft, I was totally petrified. She finished and informed us to carry on with the challenge and that was at 6am. Our tasks included being able to cross the rickety bridge to the other side, perform a ritual bath on the other side and cross back to the other side. All this we had to do before dusk. The swamp was about seven miles from one end to the other and the bridge was about 890 feet above it. ‘Okay, at least we have plenty of time.’ I thought to myself.
  • The journey began and we started off gently on the bridge. We had to be very careful because one mistake, we are goners, it might cost the both of us. Aunt was a little brave and opted to go in front. I made sure to follow every one of her steps to avoid making mistakes. The three miles went by smoothly and I was even beginning to doubt if this should have been classified as a challenge at all.
