Alys sputtered water everywhere as Aaron pulled her from the water and she scooted back sharply from the edge, fear evident on her face as she pulled her legs tight to her chest. Her entire body was shaking hugely and it was obvious to anyone who looked. When she was asked if she was okay, Alys literally couldn't form words to reply. It was like she'd shut down or something.


------------

"Oh boo hoo" Carmen replied to the girl monotonously like she couldn't care less. "She looked like she needed a little push to get moving is all" She gave a slight shrug before her poker face was almost ruined. Oh dear... Ethan was pissed.... Her body spun round as he grabbed her and she winced ever so slightly but grit her teeth. "It's fine Ethan, she was fine and she didn't die so get over it" Carmen said as she pulled her hand from his grasp. "Now if you'll excuse me I believe I have a river to cross." With that she set off, jumping from platform to platform, finding it so much easier than the cliff.
 
Delilah agreed to what Aaron said and made sure to let Carmen go first. '' Aileen. Take care of Alys while I take care of business, '' she said a bit with poison as she jumped from platform to platform finally reaching to Carmen. Her eyes fixeting at her and her eyebrows narrowed. She gritted her teeth finally reaching the same platform as Carmen, bumping into her. She grabbed th girls shoulder and threw her in the river like she was nothing. '' Be nice to be threated nice biatch!'' she shouted before jumping to the shore middle fingering the girl. She looked at Eliza and Aaron and smiled to them. '' Nothing feels better than a little bit of justice.'' she stated as she started walking down the mud path
 
Biya's eyes widened in shock and concern as she saw the man in front of her suddenly collide with a tree after looking over at her. He promptly got up and started moving again more quickly now, as if to escape her, but she was worried about him and started running to try catching up. That was a mistake. Suddenly, the once very solid ground turned very slippery and her legs nearly flew out from under her. Years of practicing standing on a horse allowed her to keep herself upright, but this was nothing like a horse, and she couldn't seem to stop herself. Pressing her lips together to stop herself from screaming, she careened through the forest, slamming into Jesus and accidentally dragging him with her. ((In case you're wondering, Jazzy, I'm laughing a lot right now. @Jazz))

Parker swam over to the group that was huddling a blonde girl who had been pushed into the river. He was a bit late coming over, considering he had been focused on another demi god, making sure they were safe but he had finally realized someone had been pushed in. Parker pulled himself onto the slow moving platforms and held his hand out for Aileen to take, practically ignoring the others.Looking past the next obstacle he spotted a man jump off another cliff. He laughed grabbing Aileen's arm and pulling her on the platform. "Aileen! Look! We get to go cliff jumping!" That's when Parker heard a gagging noise and looked over at Eliza, barely catching sight of her vomiting into the river. "Oh.. Kay."

Parker practically pulled Aileen through the next obstacle and onto the cliff, completely ignoring Delilah's instructions for Aileen. "Okay.. Aileen? Are you ready?" He asked, overly excited.

Jesus actually squealed the moment Biya tackled him to the ground. His face in the mud and pretty much eating dirt. His hair was now all over the place and his clothes were ruined. They were speeding in every direction unsure their final destination. He tried breathing losing breath and he pulled up his face only to receive a wave of mud. Finally, they stopped. Biya was over him and he couldn't breath at all.

Anna
Anna spent no time as soon as she was over. She stared at the waterfall and shook her head. "Not jumping down that." She said as she turned into the forest path. She could see that there was a lot of mud ahead and she tried to control her speed, in which she ended up failing miserably. She slid onto her butt painfully and she let out a small cry. "Ouch." She grumbled as she got up, her different colored eyes glaring around as she continued down the slope.

Fiona
Fiona could hear a lot of talking going on but she decided to move on. She looked at the platforms and she already knew that she might actually fall in. She sighed and started across the platforms. She was about halfway across when she felt herself slipping. She let out a squeal and had to drop to her knees, holding on for dear life. She let out a groan as she looked up, trying to regain her balance, holding out her arms. Eventually, she got back on her feet and kept going across, flopping onto the ground on the other side.
 
Biya had been trying so desperately and, I might add, rather unsuccessfully, to pull herself upright while unable to release her grip on the man, that she noticed neither the squeal, nor the fact that he was sliding along face-first and therefore couldn't breathe. When they finally slid to a stop, every last one of her muscles was screaming in exhaustion and she found herself fully sprawled on top of the man. She jumped off of him the minute she caught her bearings and helped him sit upright, wiping some of the mud from his face. "I'm so sorry." She croaked, a little hoarse from the effort not to scream earlier. "Are you okay?" She asked, politely, trying to thump him on the back to help him cough up any mud in his system. She didn't look around to notice their next challenge, looming in front of them.
 
Carmen barely had time to react as she was tossed into the river and she was full blown scowling when she came up for air. "Are you freaking kidding me?!" she yelled, severely pissed now. With a shake of her head as she pushed her hair back off her face, Carmen started swimming to the edge, glad she was only in shorts and a tank top from the shoot. As she pulled herself onto the shore and saw the choice she had, stood alongside the twins, Carmen felt a bit of insanity creep into her. "Screw this" she muttered before taking a running leap off the cliff, quickest way to get away from that little witch who'd shoved her in. Revenge would come later she decided.
 
Jesus looked at Biya and wipped his eyes making him look like some kind of pottery. His long loose hair was all over the place and just a mess. Mud in his mouth, he spitted what remained after he coughed and thank god for the brown mud on his face or else she would see the crimson red cheek. '' It couldn't be helped. It's probably that Centaur's doing, '' he said as he looked upwards. A huge three with a ladder. How was he suppose to do this with this clothes? He looked at the cliff a few yards away. The tree's obviously led there, but there was another path on the side. Like a second road.

'' I assume this...leads to the goldern gate or some sort?'' he said cursing Chiron in his mind. He felt the illusion everywhere. It felt so weird and so real. Or maybe it was real? He wasn't sure. But there was a lot of mystical energy around here. How he could feel it? Jesus passes his days meditating.
 
Eliza watched as the brunette was pushed into the water around the same time Eliza had thrown up. She had began to laugh as the brunette got up and Eliza could see her throw up stuck on the back of her shirt and hair. Green was a good color on her. She turned to face the boy the brunette was with. "Well, are you going to go tell her she has vomit on her or are you going to stand there dumbfounded?"She said, laughing as she watched the girl run out of sight. She was an idiot. A bitchy idiot. "Aaron, come on.. Can we go now?"
 
Aaron nodded, '' Yes. I can't believe we are last, '' he said as he started jogging towards the cliff. Before he could do anything, he looked to his side and saw the scenery slightly change and could see Jesus on the side and back at the waterfall. His clothes annoyed him so he pulled off his hoodie and threw it to the side and left his sport bag on the side. He pulled off his shoes and looked at Eliza and Delilah, both obviously terrified. Delilah was still glaring at Carmen when she jumped and then her eyes landed on a butterfly from the jungle. She screamed in horror and didn't even realise as she falled from the cliff.
 
Aileen nodded to them, before she smiled gently to the girl. "You'll get through this, ok? you'll manage just fine, just think of the water as soft jello it's no danger to fall into, and if anything happens" she pointed at Aaron. "He will help you, and if not, I'll kick his ass when we get to the camp" She spoke with a smile that was much more natural now that she was in water, than when on land.
Though it didn't take long before she was dragged onto the rotating plates by her brother, behind Deliah who knocked the other girl into the water, both ending up with moving quickly across and over to the muddy ground on the other side, making big eyes when she saw the cliff jumping.
"Oh darling brother, we were born to do this" she laughed, just fixing her hair quickly to make sure it would not go around her face. After a quick high five with Parker, she took some steps back, before she ran forward, jumping out and diving like her old coach told her to do when jumping from heights.

Ethan was about to snap something more at Carmen when she walked off, and watched as the french girl pushed her into the water. That was just good for the little model. She could have good of learning some manners. He followed in a slow, but steady tempo, stopping just behind a girl who slipped on her own feet. So he was about to lean down and help when she then moved further, and swiftly followed in step. When he saw the difference between having to jump, or go through the forest, his choice was easy. Forest. He would not be ruining his clothes with water. So he started on the muddy road, where he met the blonde wiht oil in her hair, making her way slowly, though her jeans now were covered with dirt. Yet, they made their way down towards the trees where someone else were.
 
What was he talk- Ohhhh... Biya followed his gaze up to see the ladder disappearing into the treetop. She looked back at him and instantly saw the problem. His bun had fallen out and his hair was all over his face, but the real problem was his mud-splattered monk's robes. Climbing up a tree in those would not be particularly easy. The Mongolian woman, her black hair very practically tied into a long pony tail, took a small black plastic comb from her pocket and handed it to him, still looking up at the tree. It was one of those things she carried with her always, because most women found combing their hair a gesture both of comfort and civility. She gave it to the man before her now just because it seemed like he could use it. "I'll go up first, to see what's ahead, and then come back down, alright?" She told him in a calm but gentle, no-nonsense tone of voice. Without waiting for an answer, she went over to the tree, shook her arms out a bit to relax them after that wild ride, and began climbing slowly but steadily, like before. (@Jazz)
 
"This world is out to get me! Holy shit! I can not jump that! I AM NOT GOING TO JUMP THAT!" Eliza started laughing hysterically as she stared down at the water below. Her stomach was churning just looking at it. This was not happening! This could not happen! That stupid Chiron! He knew-and she knew he knew-that heights.. Heights were the one thing she couldn't handle. And here she was.. Looking off of a cliff! A fucking cliff! The girl grabbed the sides of her head and fell to the floor. She could not handle this. Her head was hurting and her mind was telling her to go back. She would have to go through the forest.. That forest that probably lead to something was than this.
 
Parker had not waited for his sister to jump in the water, he was already stepping back, running, and jumping as soon as she had agreed they were born for this. He felt the air whip his face and he could practically feel the mountain type structure behind his back. He always loved to go cliff diving.. And what was funny was that he hadn't felt the slightest bit scared.. Maybe it was the adrenaline taking over or maybe it was the comfort that he would soon feel the water.. The first few times he had cliff dived it hadn't gone smoothly.. Let's just say that the whole front side if his body was left red for half a week. And Aileen hadn't made an effort to not laugh every time she saw him. Finally, Parker had felt the cold water slowly tickle his body and then he was underwater. Okay.. This was it.. He had spotted the other's in the river quickly and surfaced. He looked to his side, spotting Aileen and swam closer toward her. "Okay.. Come on, Ai.. We can do this!"
 
Fiona
Fiona smiled as she looked at the paths ahead. She looked over the edge of the water fall. "Hmm...." She said, looking out at the water. "Well if I learned anything in the work world, it's that things go faster when you chose the harder way." She said to no one. She took a few steps back, trying to remember what it was like to dive before running and jumping off the cliff. She looked everywhere as she was suspended in pure air, but then she looked down. She could see the ground fast approaching and she let out a scream, curling around her head. She hit the surface of the water with a thud, creating a large splash. She ended up going deeper down than she though and she tried to bring herself up, it was more difficult than she though. She struggled, the water tugging at her limbs as she struggled towards the surface. She pulled with her arms, which didn't do much and she struggled to the surface. She barely managed to reach the surface of the water, sucking in a breath before the water pulled her back under. She started towards the edge with new energy, not ready to give up yet.
 
Aileen felt the cold of the water hit her like a thousand needles, and it almost felt like she was at home, in a way. The cold water, the sound of moving water, the sound of Parkers voice over it. It was what being was to her. Feeling the way she should do. With blood pumping through her veins.
She saw Parker swim towards her though, and nodded to his words. When she turned though, she saw something. Crocodiles. Well wasn't that just a joy?! "Park!" She nodded towards the animal before she dived under water again, looking around to see if there was a way to get off from them. She could see a tunnel of sorts. Maybe there was something in there? So she kicked into Parkers leg before she started swimming towards it, all of her under water.
 
Jesus nodded as he slowly combed his hair and he rolled his eyes seeing the amounts of nots now. He picked up his elastic that fell of and after fixing his hair a bit, he made a bun. He still had mud, but it wasn't too distracting or abundant. Jesus took of a few layers leaving him just in a pair of baggy white pants and a red cloth over his shoulder attached to his pants.

Aaron looked at Eliza, '' Eli. It's either the waterfall or those...Tree's. '' he said '' Choose, fast. '' he said but his answer was cut short when the ground beneath them started crumbling. Aaron fell, he noticed the rocks were connected with wires and pipes. All of this was mecanic? He crashed on his back and felt a great amount of pain. No time to think. Delilah grabbed him and Fiona, '' There is crocodiles chasing us!'' she shouted scared as she tried dragging them but they were so heavy

George felt like he was going to die once he reached the very top of the cliff. He pulled himself over and rested on his back, panting harshly. If he survived this, he was definitely going to get in shape. I should stop telling lies, he thought briefly. After another moment's rest, he pushed himself up to his feet. His legs were wobbly and they felt like absolute jelly. And to think that was only the beginning of this whole obstacle course. He had a long, long way to go.

Biting his bottom lip, his blue eyes scanned the water rushing by. It was rapid and dangerous. There were a few platforms though, but they didn't seem all that trustworthy. Some seemednto even be rotating. Deciding not to dwell on that fact that he could fall and possibly drown, the Brit made his way onto the first platform, already on the verge of slipping. He hopped to the next one before hopping to the very last one. Once he got to the other side, he immediately took the path to the right. Forest was good. Forest meant animals and he got along with many animals.

What he didn't expect was mud, which caused him to face plant. He would have appreaciated it more if he had fell on his back, but he couldn't decide. Wiping the mud from his eyes as he got back to his feet slowly, George took a deep breath before continuing down the slippery, muddy path, stumbling like any newborn, long-legged mammal when they tried to walk for the first time.
 
Fiona
Fiona could feel something grab her arm and she pulled herself back to the surface, catching her breath. She stared at the girl who had grabbed her and she yelled. "The what!" As she started to panic. She looked behind her and sure enough, crocodiles where coming after them. She let the girl keep hold of her as she started helping her swim. "Let's get out of here." She said, strands of blue hair sticking to her face as she helped this girl ride along. She was going to survive this test, and she was sure getting eaten was not a way to survive.​
