It was so suffocating. There were no windows in the carriage. The wine had already started to stink. We have been travelling for hours but still haven't touched down the destination.

"Any problem,sir." the skeleton man asked politely. Thats when I noticed he'd seeing from the beginning from his rear view mirror. I noticed his empty eye sockets blankly staring at me. His skull was sparkling white without a spec of impurity. Well even dead take care of their looks.

"Umm... You know.. Its been a long jouney." I hesitated to speak with the dead and it was kinda awkward but I somehow managed to maintain the train of my words." And its a bit suffocating here. So can I get please get down and get some fresh air.

Without saying anything the skeleton man slowed down the carriage. The door opened automatically.

I stepped down the carriage. The sudden super-duper-awesome blast of air refreshed a new life in me. It took some time for my eyes to adapt the light, but when I opened my eyes.. It looked like heaven. A complete horizon. Clear blue sky and the land filled with grazing maizes. The maizes waved from the wind as if waving me goodbyes.

The air brushed my white hairs. It had the same touch as the touch of my mom hands. My mom had the touch of air. My parents worked in the airforce. My dad was the best pilot out their and my mom was his co-pilot. Their team could the best in air, my dad controlled the plane like his bird pet and my mom.. She had the power to control the wind. Their team with the plane has won many battles unscratched. The enemies were never able to even touch their plane. Their team was known as 'The flying cheetah' because the were fast, lethal and THE BEST.

At that moment a idea clicked in my mind. Like my mom I was the master of air. I still remember the last day of life-taking training in which she taught me almost every spell she knew. I still wish I could I have better suicided rather than participating in this game but damn the terms and condition. It stated that if any contestant dies before the games. His family members will be slaughtered to death and even after death the souls of the contestant and his or her family will continue to face the torture for eternity.

At that moment I could blast away the carriage and run for life... Or yes I could dissolve in air and runaway. Yes I can do that. I closed my eyes gathering focus to dissolve myself. I could feel the urge to free myself from the slaughter.

Suddenly I felt a jolt of pain in my backhead.

I realised that I have been hit with somethingon the back of my head. My vision was starting to go blur when I turned back and saw the dim vision of the skeleton madman with a steel rod in his hand.

I hit the ground and my vision turned completely black.
