So all of you probably go to a school that has regular classes. Those boring subjects, Social Studies, English...BORING.
Well I used to be in that kind of school, but then, one day, my parents moved to a place where it's not even on a map!

Onc...
{Will} They stared at me and chuckled. "You got some nerve," one said as he took a step forward towards me until someone stepped in and stopped the group from stepping any closer. "Learn to back off will you Chris?" He said seeing them look at me and back off. Chris and the other boys glared at me and walked over to their stations. The guy looked at me and sighed. "Sorry about that, my brother's a hand full," he said making me look at him. Both his eyes were different colours. His left eye was a pure bright blue colour while his right eye was a light hazel brown. I crossed my eyebrows and then realized I was staring for too long, he ended up clearing his throat and chuckled. I looked away. "Sorry," I apologized. "Don't worry about it, it is odd. I'm a hybrid. Names Jackson," he said, lifting his hand forward offering me a handshake. I took his hand and shook it. "Will," I responded back. We put our hands down and looked up towards the man who blew the horn. "So, who's in the maze right now in your team?" Jackson asked making me turn to the exit of the maze. "My friend Rencie, you?" I asked seeing him shake his head. "I'm not in the race, these races get too competitive and I've had bad experience with it," he answered making me cross my eyebrows and look at him. I thought about it for a moment wondering if I should ask what happened or not. "Too competitive? Isn't that every race?" I asked seeing him shrug. "Not as competitive these races. These races were created by the gods, a test to see who's worthy to become a future Olympian," Jackson replied making me look at him. "If your friend makes it passed this maze, you guys are one of the lucky ones, my teammate from two years ago never made it out himself, he was pulled out with a spreading infection on his stomach. He was stung by god knows what," he said making me look at the exit of the maze. What kind race is this? A death wish?
{Rencie} I was already halfway into the race. I'm surprised I didn't run into any of the monsters yet, but if I made it halfway without seeing any, I might end up running into a big one. Good job, you just scared yourself. I turned another corner and kept looking forward and back every single time I heard someone scream or something rustle in the bush Walls around me. But as soon as I stopped midway before I turned to a different corner, I heard something growling from behind me. I slowly turned around, staying as still as I can until I eventually faced the thing. I nearly gasped as soon as I saw the thing, it was as bigger than a large bear, almost half the height of the maze walls. It's long curved tusks pointed upward on both sides of its snout, I could see it puffing air from both its nostrils. There were many red scars scattered all over its body and one large scar over its one eye, leaving that eye to be pure white while the other was black. "Oh shit," I whispered realizing what it was. The Calydonian Boar.

In the books, it said that Artemis had sent out this large boar to destroy the region of Calydon. To punish those who have wronged or let Artemis down. But the thing that's really getting to me is, why the hell is it alive?!? This things been dead for centuries. I saw one of hooves slide back and lift off the ground...stomping back down onto the ground, hearing it continue to huff and puff...it's eyes were locked on me, ready to start chasing me as soon as I even made one move. I took a deep breath and thought about it for a moment. I can't use my powers. I then looked over at its tusks, trying to figure out if I can manage to climb up onto its snout and run up into its back and hold onto it to see how far it goes. I took another deep breath and seconds later...I ran towards it seeing it growl and bolt towards me. I continued to run until I got a hold of both its tusks and pull myself onto its snout but the force of it running forward got me to fly towards its back, I quickly grabbed onto its fur to keep me from falling off and planted my stomach onto its back. I looked forward seeing the boar turn down different corners of the maze. I could feel it kicking it's hind legs back trying to toss me into the air but I had a good grip on it. I grunted every time it shook its head until eventually, once it turned me into another corner there was another monster slithering around in front of us. I gasped seeing it was a giant amphisbaena. A serpent with a head on each end of its body. Once the boar came closer to the serpent, the two heads had stood up forming a "u" shape with its body and looked directly towards us. I screamed seeing it hiss at me and start to slither towards me and the boar. I panicked and as soon as one serpent headshot right at me causing me to push myself off the boar and jumping up into the air seeing it shoot by underneath me. I realized the other head was passing by making me kick the head and land onto the boar again. I turned back seeing the serpent had crashed into one of the maze walls. The boar had turned about 3 times until the last time it turned I could see the opening. I gasped seeing the rest of the other contestants waiting on the outside. I started to panic. I didn't want this thing to run out of the maze. But I was only a few feet away to the exit, I started to shout at people telling them to move outta the way until a blue force field had suddenly illuminated about a foot outside the maze causing the boar to come to a complete stop sending me flying into the air towards Will. I screamed seeing Will's eyes widen. "Rencie!" Will screamed as I end up tackling him to the ground. He groaned making me panic and get off him, trying to help him up. "Oh god, I'm sorry Will, are you ok?" I asked seeing him cough and shake the dust off it his. "Ok, I'm fine...I need to go!" He screamed out realizing the race was still on. Will immediately ran towards the rope ladder and started to climb up onto the wooden structure.
