First Stygian Diviner:Apocalypse

"Excuse me! Are you talking to me ? " Ethyl said with a look of disgust towards the old man he was talking to her, he could be a crazy person or psychic to know what she was thinking about.

" I am not a psychic if you are wondering, you kept looking at the measurement room as if you were trying to escape this place and I know why would anyone hate to go there, and being weak is not one of them"He winked at her with a smile on his face.

"What do you want from me ! i never asked you to do any favor for me and certainly this made up story is not real and even if it was, i would never ask a creepy person for help"Ethyl said firmly to him.

"Well, i ll be there, right under the oak tree waiting for you.When you stop being a coward and accept my help, just call my name, ah my name is Jivan".

Ethyl didn't reply to him however she kept following him until he reached the spot he mentioned before

Ethyl was terrified, she couldn't just back off and stay calm, everything was messing with her head

Just a hundred person passed the first part of the practical test, and most of them were not scared of the last part because they all knew that they would pass the test.

For the past hours she kept thinking endlessly because she knew that there was no way to pass the test unless she got help and Jivan's help was the only one available.

When the first test ended she walked immediately towards him and said:"What do you want in exchange!"

" your sweet pure skin"

" My skin!Are you a cannibal ? answer me "She yelled at him at the end.

"Well i can't call myself that but i am closer to it in some ways"

" What in the hell are you saying, you old creepy pervert !"

"Wooaaaah, surely I am hated by the younger people…."

Ethyl interrupted him saying: " I don't need to hear about your drama, tell me what should i do to pass this part"

"The payment first!"

" Okay ..okay"

Ethyl grabbed a knife from her pocket then said:"Okay , if i find out that you played with me i will kill you "

She romved a part of her arm skin despite of all the pain she experienced and gave it to Jivan who kept drowing that stupid smile on his face.

" Now we are talking," He said .

Ethyl gave it to him, and he looked as if he got some sort of a magical tool. He took a small jar full of unknown liquid and put it there just to stay fresh until the exam is finished  later.

Ethyl put her hand on the cut she made in her skin, and started to heal herself and ease the pain she was feeling.

Jivan looked at her with pride and said: "You are strong for a girl, i thought that you will ran away from me and reject my offer for help"

"I am not hear to bond with you, the test is about to happen and i need to pass it with minimum damage"

"Okay…okay little girl…come here with me l"

Jivan walked her far away from the other participants, and behind a huge tree he gave her a portion he was carrying with him.

" What is this ! "She said.

Jivan handed her the bottle that contained a blue weird liquid and said with a weird smile on his face:" Well you should drink this"

"Are you sying that this stupid liquid is going to help me pass the measurement room without problem!"

" It is not a stupid liquid, i made this portion to countain the divine energy and minimise its quantity for an hour, i knew about this test and that's why i made it"

Ethyl took the portion from him and started to look at it deeply then said after minutes of thinking:" You made this for yourself, which means that you yourself have an incredible divine energy, is that right!"

" You can say so!"

"Then, why did you wait until this year's annual evaluation!"

"I wasn't going to level up, even this year, but something came up"He added a smile to his face .

"And why are you helping me ? "

"You certainly know why "He glared at her without adding anything else.He just waved at her leaving her with that portion and some heavy thoughts.

Ethyl was hesitant, she didn't know who this man was and his character didn't serve him well, he was just a creepy old dude that was making weird faces with his creepy smile.

Some of those who passed before her were preparing themselves to pass in the measurement room, her hand was shaking, it was either she drank it blindly or faced a fate worse than Lucas's and that was out of option.

She had a goal and she would achieve it if she survived this place, she was the only one afraid and that gave her a hard time .

She drank the portion with her eyes closed when she couldn't decide what to do, her heart started to beat fastly, it felt like it was going to explode if she made a single move so she sat under a tree looking at the ground all dizzy .

Her mind went blank for a second, and that lasted for ten minutes before that affect started to fade.

She couldn't feel any change in her body but all she knew was that she did all she could, maybe, miraculously she would pass even if this portion didn't work eventually.

There were a few before her who passed the test, she had to walk there and pretend like she was normal like everyone else, and that's what she did .

She walked towards the measurement room with a smile on her face, her dress was dirty because she sat on the mud before but at this moment none of that mattered, she had to pass .
