Part- 16 The Challanges
"You want me.. To join a small group of rabbits... That use explosives!?"
"Yes."
"Aslong as I get the weapons I'm okay with it!"
Varex sighed.
"It's more than just the explosions. We fight wolves, rabbits, foxes and just about anyone who try to do evil. We are trying to do this stealthily."
"Why? you have powdered fire!?"
"Thats why, if anyone else found out then they would use it. And probably not in the way we want to. Everyone does bad deeds, you killed vanilla, wolves kill rabbits, rabbits try to kill wolves. If anyone got their hands on this then they would end society as we know it."
Invertin thought about this. Not everyone was evil! Tiergan did nothing wrong!... Of course, killing is evil, he did that. Invertin did that.. Vixen did that...
"I accept."
"Good, first there is some training though."
"Training!?"
Later...
They are at the council It is a large circular room carved into the side of a mountain, a stone table and stone chairs are in the centre with doors around the outside, curtains coming down from the ceiling were decorated with each of the different colours except for black and pink. Invertin looked up at the curtains, each one had a symbol, the red had a fire symbol, the orange had a lightning symbol, the green had an earth symbol, the blue had a water symbol and in the middle was the white, which had a sun symbol. A rabbit in white robes walked out of one of the doors. (Hiriad)
"Welcome Varex, and Invertin. Are you ready to join us?"
Invertin nodded.
"Good, you must master the trials of all the elements. The element of earth, of Lightning, of fire, of water, of though, of darkness, and light. Are you ready for the challange of earth?"
Invertin nodded again.
"Good, go through that door."
Hiriad pointed at a door to the far left. When he went in, he was in a room made of hard rock, with a green curtain on the far wall. In the middle was a large stalacmite with a rock balancing on the top. Next to it was a rabbit in green robes.
"Welcome, in this challange, the rock will roll down and.. Well you'll know what to do from there."
The rabbit kicked the stalacmite and it cracked, the rock fell off and rolled towards Invertin, he ran out of the way, but noticed, it was heading to the main room! It would kill Hiriad! Invertin kicked the stalacmite, and the crack grew, the top of the stalacmite fell off and slid down, Invertin jumped on it on it's way down and rode it, he caught up with the rock and kicked the stalacmite tip in the side and jumped off, the stalacmite tip rolled sideways and slammed into the rock and pushed it away.
"Very good, you have completed the earth challange.."
Invertin swept his fore head and headed for the next room..
The next room was made of metal, a large lump of metal was in the middle, an orange curtain was hanging from the ceiling and a rabbit in orange robes was standing on the piece of metal with something in his hand.
"Here is the challange of Lightning, since Lightning is an uncontrolled element, we are using it's brother element, metal. All you have to do is beat me."
Invertin got into a combat stance, this would be easy! Unfortuanatly the thing in the rabbits hand was a very strong magnet, strong enough to control the piece of metal with. The piece of metal flew at Invertin, who jumped out of the way, he tried to jump on top but he just got pushed off, Invertin looked around for something to stop him, he saw a knife on the floor, he threw it at the rabbit, the magnet attracted it so only the handle hit the rabbit
"Congratulations, you've beaten me with my own weapon!"
Invertin went to the next room, this one was made of wood, and the only light source was 2 lit torches on the wall. A red curtain was on the ceiling and a rabbit in red robes was in the middle.
"This challange is a deadly one, stop the fire, or perish."
He walked out the door, and slammed it behind him, the torches fell and set the floor on fire. Invertin tried stamping out the fire, that just burned his paw, he tried blowing out the fire, that just got him out of breath, wait.. What was the next challange?
"The element of earth, of Lightning, of fire, of water, of though, of darkness, and light."
The challange of water! Thats it! He opened the door to the next room and water poured out and flooded the room, it put out the fire too. Invertin swam to the next room, which was also flooded, it was made of rock and had a tunnel on the floor, the blue curtain was there of course. A blue rabbit was swimming above the tunnel, he pointed down the tunnel and did a swimming action. Invertin swam down the tunnel, it was long, it had forks, and Invertin couldn't hold his breath for much longer, he saw something pink on the top of the tunnel, he swam up to it, and ended up in a room with pink smoke swirling around. He heard a voice.
"Here you must find out what your purpose is, why is it that you continue to struggle for life?"
"Because if I don't then the wolves will keep on being ruled by that pig."
"No, there are alot of reasons, why do you hate your brother?"
"How do you know about-"
"Tiergan tells us everything."
"I hate my brother because he killed my father.. And even before I knew that he ruined my life."
"How?"
"..That is personal."
"This is the challange of the mind. You must open up your mind."
"....He.. He was the reason I studied Tiergan, he was the reason I got kicked out of my own pack. He was the one who decided it was a bad thing to study rabbits."
"He was your downfall."
"Yes."
"And what about Vixen?"
"What about her?"
"What are your feelings for her?"
"We're just friends."
"No, you want to be more than that."
Invertin just looked at his feet. He didn't want to be anything more than friends. Did he?
"You have finished this challange, here is the next."
Black smoke entered the room, Invertin couldn't breath, he was suffocating.
"Find the exit"
"How?"
Invertin was choking.
"Forget your sight, darkness is an illusion to those who use the're other sences, follow your ears and your nose.
Invertin smelled for anything but smoke, he got a rabbit trail, he closed his eyes and followed it. He followed it until it stopped and opened his eyes. He was in a completely white room, Hiriad was standing in the middle.
"Here is the challange of light."
Suddenly Wisdom and lies appeared in front of him
"What the?"
Here is where you learn about us
We are illusions of the mind, if you havent worked out, but we are acutally one and the same
"Then who are you really!?"
Everything apart from them became misty and faded out of focus. Lies and wisdom walked together and created one grey wolf
"We are Invertin."
He ran into Invertin and there was a bright light, when it faded, Invertin was in the white room again, and Hiriad had a box in his hands
"Well done, you have completed all the challanges. You are now a prophet of the Order"
"But, for the light challange I didn't do anything!"
"You learned that good and evil are illusions, and are actually one and the same."
"How?"
"Giving someone money will lead to them getting robbed, taking money will lead to you having too much and giving it away."
"...I guess."
"You will understand it more later."
Hiriad opened the box and handed Invertin some grey robes.
"What element are these?"
"Those have no element, we need to find what element fits you before we can give you one. Just wearing these robes does not prove your loyalty, you must do somthing for us"
Invertin put on the robes.
"What did you have in mind?"
