• "I AM GOING TO EAT YOU, INCINERATE YOU, AND THEN I WILL DANCE IN YOUR ASHES YOU LITTLE... LITTLE... AH, CRAP IT!" it seemed like it had been an eternity that Hinr was trying to kick the weird bulldog thing's butt. Obviously, he wasn't having much success.

    In fact, he was even hanging upside-down while the evil dog was hanging him by the pant leg. Too bad, so sad.

    The bulldog swung its head and released Hinr, sending him crashing into a stone wall nearby, sending debris all over the place. Hinr recovered, got up, and threw a huge hunk of rock into the bulldog's face.

    "AW, COME ON!!!" hollered Hinr in fury as the rock just split in half within contact with the bulldog. The bulldog actually smirked and then breathed fire into Hinr. The crowd gasped as the flames engulfed Hinr. Yet another being who tried to conquer the test, but yet another who failed. As the crowd started drooping their heads and walking out, another huge ball of flame appeared at the place where Hinr was standing.

    As the fireball diminished, a humanoid shape formed in its center. Then, the flames hardened to become flesh and bones and guts and whatever was inside Hinr's body was regenerated. Yet again the crowd gasped. Then, huge columns of water rose from the ground around Hinr and broke up into little droplets.

    Then, half of the droplets turned into huge icicles that glinted in the "sun". After that, half of the droplets mixed with the dust to form mud. All the mud lurched towards the beast and trapped it in the hardened Earth.

    Then all the icicles pierced the foul dog's body.

    All of a sudden, Hinr woke up in huge sunlight on a bank right next to a river surrounding a mountain. As he adjusted, he saw the hole in the mountain which he had jumped from.

    Hinr smiled. He was finally back in the world of the living.
