Using a saveSepheran stared at the first course he was set to. A matching game of cards...it was pure chance. He would not be able to do anything about it. Taking a deep breath he reached out for his first card. Without even pondering which to grab next he let his instinct guide him to another card and hoped for the best.

Gathering in the classroom, sans mats, Olivia took a moment to locate Amarus and Faustus for good measure, to see how they were fairing today. Though she was unable to really tell from body language alone, they seemed to be... well, here and functioning at least. Much like herself, though she wondered if their bodies felt like jell-o and their minds like mush. That bad-bad place had left her still pretty exhausted even with the rest she had gotten afterwards. Along the way, she spotted Willow and briefly wondered if she too had gone to visit the rather bad place as they had - and who else, for that matter.
It was no time to dwell, as they went on their little field trip to a new location of smaller islands connected by bridges with beautiful fish swimming about in the ponds below. Olivia's blue eyes watched them for a bit, their slow trek here and there, so peaceful like they didn't have a care in the world. The lotus drifting in several places brought a smile to her face for the moment as she turned to Invictus for his daily instructions.
Testing their luck. And all their previous lessons were going to come together for this last task. Olivia nodded in understanding as she made herself ready to cross the first bridge with her new charm in hand. It was a simple coin and as she flipped it over a few times, there seemed to be a rather nice feeling drifting off from it. Like it was going to help her in this in some way.
Crossing over the bridge, Olivia found a small table with a pile of beautiful looking gold strands with a note and a timer. Walking over, she picked up the note to guessing it was meant to be read. They were instructions, simple and clear. She had five minutes to find a thin beading needle in the pile.
Like a needle in a haystack. Literally but with different components. This was one of the few idioms that Olivia understood and she understood the challenge now.
With a soft ping, the timer went off without her even touching it. Automatic, Olivia froze from surprise, taking too much precious time to recover before her dark fingers went working into the strands to find her prize. Where where where, the minutes ticked by as she started to create a mess of things, gold flying everywhere in her search.
tick ... tick.. tick...
DING!
The buzzer went off, making her jump once again. Gold strands everywhere and even in her hair. But no needle.
She had failed in her task, her face fell.
But she was at least able to continue on.

Of course...his instincts weren't meant for matching games and so he grabbed the wrong one by mistake. For some weird reason though there was another card under the one he grabbed and this was the matching card. What a lucky save!

Olivia moved a bit slower over the bridge and to the next task that would press her luck. She was disappointed in her inability to pass the first one. What could the next one be? More searches? Would she have to fight something? The ghoul had no idea what she would find on the next little island.
Her eyes lifted from the ground when she finally crossed over, wondering what she was going to find.
There was a younger clansman, dressed ornately like so many she passed in the halls day to day. He was smiling brightly with his hands behind his back, either waiting politely or.. perhaps with a mischievous air in the way he was standing and waiting for her.
Olivia was about to ask him what she was meant to do and if he had something to do with the task, but the boil simply held out both hands, palms closed like he was hiding something.
"Which one?"
The ghoul blinked, unsure of what this meant and hesitantly reached out and tapped his right hand. The young clansman smiled softly and opened his right hand, revealing a small bell. "Correct!" He told her simply with a nod.
That was it? Olivia made ready to speak, to ask him but he ushered her on with a little wave.
Huh.

Sacrificing 5 luckThe next course seemed a bit tricky, this was one he had experience in though. It was testing the scents and matching them to the correct ones. While he had practice in this, it was something he also knew could prove to be difficult. His attempt at matching was wrong at first, until one of the blocks he didn't pick fell to the right place by itself. Hey he would take what he could get!

These islands were so peculiar, that it was actually making Olivia a little nervous. Where were the others, she asked herself looking around to see if she could see any of her classmates as she traveled to the third island and the third task. Even from the top of curve, she couldn't see anyone.
Maybe she could find them at the end, which at least helped carry Olivia's spirit up and over.
What waited for her was a simple wooden box, the top was segmented in a grid like fashion. Each little square seemed to have the same weak paper that so many of the walls were made out of. And like the first island, there was a little neatly written note explaining what she was meant to do.
Punch the holes out and try not to get the wrong one. Okay. Gently, Olivia pushed on one of the little squares, ripping a hole in the paper. Nothing happened, she tried it again a few more times as if making a simple little pattern.
This was kind of fun, she smiled.
Until her finger punched through one piece of the grid. There was a bad sounding pop and the wooden box seemed to melt right before her eyes before it was a puddle of.. well wood and paper.
The remaining bits of paper that seemed to still look like paper, spelled out simply 'fail.'
Oh.
She had done pretty well in the last one too. Olivia sighed and moved onto the next island.

She had failed two and only managed to secure one win, Olivia normally wasn't pessimistic but right now - given how muddled her brain was from the alcove - she wasn't seeing a bright side to much of this.
Maybe she would encounter another pleasant small child with a really simple game for her this time, like the second island she went on.
There was a clansman at least this time, standing next to another wooden box with pegs protruding from the front of it. It was bigger than the one that had exploded on her and didn't seem to be set up in such a way that would leave her surprised and frightened. The horseman ushered her over, sweeping sleeves billowing as they waved her over to complete in the fourth task at hand.
Olivia straightened her posture up and made her way slowly over. There were little disks for her to hold onto and the clansman did a quick demonstration of what she was supposed to do. Hold the disk at the top, release it and it would then bounce down the pegs until it settled in a section at the bottom. Now that she was getting a better look at it, there were symbols on the bottom that Olivia couldn't make heads or tails of.
She didn't have time to ask and was pulled closer to try her luck at the peg game. Olivia held her disk at the top and let it go. It hit several pegs, enough to send it straight to the other side where it then got to the bottom with a click. From the smile on the ghoul's face, Olivia had hit a good spot. So she tried her chances again, watching the disk fall and land a second time. Once again getting a small smile, and this time with a nod.
The third disk seemed to dance across the pegs much more than the other two, nearly going upwards and out until it finally descended down and right in the center.
"Well done," the clansman told her softly still wearing the soft smile on her face. "You have passed and may move to the end of the course. You are done."
Olivia blinked. "I have one more though..."
"For your success at this game, you are able to finish a little early."
"Oh..." Olivia blinked again, her eyes brightening from the idea. Who was she to argue with that? "Th-thank you..." She added in with a stiff bow and made her way to the end.
Her fingers found their way into her pocket where she had placed the charm, letting her fingers graze against the sides of it. And she wondered if she would be allowed to keep it, it had brought her luck. Not in the beginning but at least in the end.
