The next day, was the start of my new adventure. Nope, it's our adventure now.

Together, the black Knights lay down some new team rules, and vote, who would lead our team. Well, Shu wasn't happy with Matthew being the team leader, so we had to.

After countless number of hours of debates and wars we came up with a decision. Matthew's again chosen as the team leader. Of course, Shu becomes furious over his defeat and I can say that just by looking at the frown on his face!

Then, we design the team cloaks. It took a while, but we decide to use black coloured cloaks with the symbol of a black dragon. Ofcourse, we decided to take the design reference from the legendary duel tournament Matthew was talking about.

The cloaks appears in front of us in an instant as soon as we designed it. After that, not even a few minutes later, another quest had shown up.

A messenger rings the door bell and hastily tells us that he had found a gate on the other end of the town which leads to the woods. He says that there's a mysterious gate keeper, an AI guarding the gate. So we, the black Knights decide to check it out.

Upon reaching, we find a huge crowd of people blocked the view. It's nearly impossible to get through the crowd!

Suddenly I could feel the pressure again. Someone behind us commands, "Step aside people, and let us, the red dragons go in!"

The whole crowd suddenly splits, making a way in between. I look back, to see the red dragons walk pass by, and between the crowd. Following them, we get through the crowd as well.

And in front of us, there's a huge golden gate, surrounded by a net of energy shield, blocking our sight towards the other side. A tall, well built medieval gatekeeper as mentioned, stood right in front of the gate, holding his spear with a firm grip.

Ashley, the leader of the red dragons, looks at the gatekeeper and orders, " I, Ashlee, the leader of the red dragons, command you to let us past these gates!" Her voice being simple, yet very commanding.

The gatekeeper lifts his spear, and bangs the edge to the ground. He turns towards us and speaks in a hoarse tone, "Greetings for clearing the Clasender town players! But the next quest is not gonna be as easy as it was until now. So, do not get yourselves too high!"

He pauses for a second and warns, "Well, there are chances of getting yourself killed, and nobody would ever know. If you accept this quest, let me ask you this... are you ready to die?"

"Yes" Ashley sounds confident "I am not scared of death, especially when it comes to protecting my people!"

"Okay then! I shall let you pass. But there's one more condition! You need a minimum of ten teams to get through this gate. And if you go in, there's no turning back."

Now, there's a huge commotion within the crowd, and many people looked hesitant. Matthew turns towards the crowd, and shouts, "I, Matthew of the black Knights, would want to speak out, before you make your decision."

He pauses for a minute, takes a deep breath and starts speaking again, "I know you want to survive, and the only best option is to stay back. But, can you stay here and just look at innocent people lose their lives and regret it later, or would you rather come with us and become the heroes of the world! I know you are scared of losing your lives, but everyone is scared, and so are we. I know, I can't change the way you think, but I can only say this, stay back to save yourself, come with us to save those you love, and thousands of others".

We surround him patting on the back. It seems like we had made the best choice on choosing our leader, to which finally, Shu agrees as well.

After his speech, few teams decide to show up. Now, we have thirteen teams standing by the gate. The gate keeper shouts, "Now, I shall let you pass these gates, into a new world. This is a quest of do or die. Kill 100 Grievers to succeed this quest, and then, you shall unlock the path of the dark woods and the gate to a new city!"

The gates start to open, and the path in front of us, brighten up. Beyond that, were the dark woods, a dark forest where you may never know what might happen to you. The red dragons take the lead, as they sprint forward. The black knights, were more excited than they ought to be, because it was our first quest, after the final formation of the team!

As the black knights and the other teams enter the dark woods, the gates behind us close. And in front of us, is a deep forest. The wood's color being pure black as coal, with tall and huge trees, being able to cover the heavens with its branches.

The atmosphere started to grow more intense, as we could hear the grievers howl. Yes, the battle had begun.

Before we knew it everyone charged ahead. The black Knights, move slowly, staying alert for nearby Grievers. The first one we encountered, were three low levelled Grievers charging right at us. Matthew and Shu step forward.

Matthew looks at Shu excitedly and says, "Okay Shu, let's keep a challenge. Whoever kills the least Grievers, gives the whole team a treat. What about it?"

"Fine with me! Don't come back crying that you lost", Shu mocks Matthew.

"You are the one who would do that", Matthew replies.

Matthew draws out his sword and Shu equips his blasters. Together, they knock out two Grievers. I aim for the third griever with my sniper gun, and paralyze it. Sarah springs forward, and takes down the griever.

"Well, that was easy!", Shu grins as he says.

"Well you cannot be sure as you go deeper Shu.", I reply. Yup, noone knew what lies ahead of us. All we could see was a huge dark forest in front of us, and distant howl's and the sounds of weapons as time flies by.
