Cowardice 7

Adolash waited for the three until they are completely out of sight. He wanted to make sure that those three will make it for the third game.

For an hour and a half, Adolash waited to the same spot with the intention of stopping anyone that will get past him.

"If I stay here to cut the line, they will have a sure spot for maybe 60th to 70th place. Hmmmm, I can't wait for the next games", Adolash said talking to his self.

Meanwhile, in the very lead of the race. Titan Blade and Deko already made it in first and second place.

"That was easier than expected Deko, you're good thinking nailed our spot", Titan Blade complimented Deko.

"No, it's not only me, it's also with your speed and strength", Deko humbly answered.

"Hmmmm, what a good team of really promising contenders", a woman with tanned skin had just entered the temple said.

The woman is accompanied with a 'nautilus' and an onslaught behind her. These three would be the 4th to 5th placer for the race, making them qualified for the third game.

"Chaka, don't be too friendly with them, you might need to kill them soon you know", the 'nautilus' said to the woman with an Australian accent.

"Don't worry 'nauty' I'm just making an impression, I just don't want them to think that I'm an anti social or something", the woman replied.

"Let's just wait over there till the second game is over, it will still be a while before the third game starts anyway", the onslaught suggests to it's associates.

Meanwhile, in the 'God's ' place, things are getting a little messed up. "Three of your entries have already qualified Catalpa", Therakulina said to the 'God' next to her.

"That is to be expected, I chose those three in particular so they could win in an event as a group", Catalpa stated with assurance

"How about your entry 'Lord Zeus'", a big man with a monacle asks.

"The kid sure is talented, but he has some issues with that attitude", another 'God' commented.

"Those three with the giant and the human teamed up with knowing their sponsors are different, should we disqualify them 'Lord Zeus'?", the big man with the monacle asks to Zeus.

"No", Zeus answers with a word. In Zeus' mind, that question was very stupid. Answering a 'yes' from such a question would damage not only the name of the event but the name of Zeus as well.

It's still three kilometers away before Sarah, Grunt and Moggy reach the temple. Sarah has already recovered some of her strength, thanks to Moggy carrying her. Meanwhile, Grunt who has been running for a while, decided to ride behind Moggy again.

"Giant, I need to save some for the final obstacle of this race", Grunt said.

"Final obstacle? What do you mean? How did you know that?, Moggy asked.

"I don't know either but I can sense something dangerous ahead of us, and it's not one of the contenders", Grunt answered a final statement before resting.

"Moggy, I'm okay now, you can put me down now",Sarah requested.

"No, just rest there, I will make sure you will make it for the third game", Moggy answered as decline.

"You're so sweet, I wish I had someone like you", Sarah said while making eye contact with Moggy. Sarah is not playing making fun of anyones emotions here, she is just simply falling for Moggy here.

Moggy kept running without saying anything. Deep inside, Moggy was really happy hearing that.

Moggy and company got past through few more obstacles with out making Grunt and Sarah do any effort. In this few obstacle, Moggy really shined, he did a really good job.

Now, the final obstacle for the second game. It was the same old man with a cane. Behind the old man with a cane is a few meters away before the temple.

"Giant, stop", Grunt stopped Moggy from running. Grunt then approaches the 'joker'.

"Which one is the important one, the God or it's worshipers?", the old man with the cane asks Grunt. This question is serious, a wrong answer could lead to death for the three of them.
