The sky was foggy but the weather was hot in district one, it felt like the whole district was boiling under the hot temperature, the distance between the borders and center was so long, the mages from district 2 knew already the hardships of that road, but the people from district 5 were too comfortable in the borders, they haven't been doing much and therefore they felt so tired as they were passing by that forest.

It has been 2 days since the triple full moons ended yet the forest was very hot, it was not burning this time and that's how they knew that people from district 1 stopped it.

The smell of burning was still in the air, it felt like the forest was exhaling heavy warm breaths on their skins which made them very scared to take a shortcut inside of the forest.

Their road back to the palace was so quiet, too quiet which made both Heigl and Yogev, and Felix feel so bad.

Heigl walked next to Yogev when they were just half an hour away from that palace, he was surrounded by a lot of mages yet unlike all the other times Heigl approached him.

Yogev smiled at him then waved at him to get closer to him which he did, then asked those who were accompanying him to stay away to talk to him.

They all witnessed the kid's bravery and that is why they felt different about him this time, Heigl looked now more worthy of respect in their eyes even when he is so young.

" What you did back then was amazing," Yogev said to him the moment he started to walk next to him.

" Don't show confusion or weakness in front of them, not in front of people from district1, not in front of people from district 5, and certainly not in front of people from our district..if you act confused once they will eat you alive " Heigl said while keeping his eyes on the road.

" Are you giving me advice, kid !" Yogev said when he saw the look of concern in Heigl's eyes.

"I am not concerned about you, all i care about is the person who is going to lead our people, that bastard Chris is thirsty for blood, this rude guy Felix only thinks about his as*** , he doesn't even think about his people, you are the only one that thinks about the people from our district and i really hate to see you go away or be stepped upon"

" Don't worry kid, i am not an easy target, this old man here still has some trick or two" Yogev patted Heigl's head.

" We have been absent for so long, i wonder what happened there"historical

" Don't worry, those mages we left hid all of them in a good way, don't worry, everything will be okay once we reach the palace" Yogev assured him.

They kept on walking next to each other for the next half an hour, and when they almost arrived near the palace they walked fastly.

" WHAAAT ...WHAT IN THE FU**** HAPPENED HERE? " One of the mages said when he reached the field next to the palace.

He started to yell and go in circles, reaching for things they couldn't see, as a result, all of them hurried to reach them .

And the surprise was, the veil created by the 10 mages was no longer there, dozens of people were thrown to the ground with fatal injuries, and all of them were dead,

The mages started to go crazy because they left their families here thinking that they were protecting them from any harm, when in fact they left them here to be killed mercilessly.

One of the mages started to scream as if his soul was being extracted from his body when he saw his pregnant woman stabbed in her womb and surrounded by blood everywhere, he lost his wife and little fetus, and that made his senses go numb after a huge breakdown.

The loss was tremendous on district 2's side, the people they lost were not that strong, they would have not been a help in a battle or on survival tests but they were a huge emotional support.

Yogev was looking at his people with eyes filled with anger, he didn't know what was the next step anyway, these people he was leading had no hope for the future in their eyes without their loved ones, and if he wanted to rule them there was only one method .

And for the sake of his plan to survive with all of them he was going to use it despite it being immoral.

He turned his head toward Heigl and said:" Call out for Felix now, he has to see how far people from district 1 are going to take this"

Heigl hesitated to obey him then said:" We should bury the bodies, we should honor them , sir..you don't want to mess with your people that way ...do it and you will lose all of their support, you will look like a crucial heartless leader who only thinks about himself and his plans"

Yogev stepped back when he saw the look on Heigl's eyes then said:" I am not..i feel angry and i want to do the same to them"

" Save it, sir..now you should create an unbreakable bond with your people"

"Yoo..Heigl, how do you know this? "

" It is not the time to chat, we have to start "

Heigl was looking all around him, he saw a scene that was so scary, what happened in his district was awful but it was not in the same intensity as this one, what happened here was inhuman, these people shared with them all horrors of Delwias Island, yet they chose to betray them in the first test, and for that, he was never going to let that pass.

"What happened here, the people, who killed all of these people? "

Felix said the moment he saw the corpse on the ground, he looked very surprised and horrified by the chaos that was in front of him .
