THE BIG EGG

Most of the viewers decided that they were not going to sleep tonight as they wanted to see who would make it to the top five.When the contestants arrived at the venue, they all went through their separate doors. Elsa looked around her room and noticed that cameras had been installed inside. She was grateful for the bright lights inside the room as she knew they would help to keep her awake. There was no chair to sit down. The only other things in her room were the table and the big egg. Elsa realized that this game would require her to stand for more than twelve hours. She knew it wasn't going to be easy but she was prepared to do it.As she waited for the sound of the gong, she thought about Caden. Initially, she had really wanted him to become the number one Ruler while she didn't mind being the second or third. But now she didn't care anymore. She promised herself that if the sun smiled at her and she had the opportunity to snatch his position, she would surely do it.The gong f

THE BULL'S HORNS

As all the contestants walked back to the tent, Caden noticed that Elsa was limping. At first, he wondered how she came by the stab wound but after thinking about it, he realized her thighs were okay when she entered her room the day before. This could only mean that her wound was self-inflicted. He couldn't help but find her really impressive when he figured out that she must have stabbed herself in order to stay awake.When they all got to the tents, the other contestants buried their heads in shame and got on the chariot which drove them out of the Ulundi forest. Elsa was feeling sleepy but she knew it wasn't time for that yet. She first cleaned her wound and applied the special oil to ease the pain. She felt a little relief but still couldn't walk properly. She silently prayed that the next game wouldn't need her to make too much use of her legs before drifting off to sleep.Caden went straight into his tent and slept off. Miguel on the other hand couldn't believe that Elsa was

THE BULL'S HORNS

When Elsa heard the eldest council member mention the bull, she suspected that she would have to fight an animal so she carried some powdered pepper from her supply bag, wrapped it in a cloth, and made sure her sheath knife was sharp enough to help her fight.The other contestants carried what they thought they would need and together, they all followed the brown arrow. They finally arrived at their destination and the first thing that caught Elsa's eyes were the different types of weapons that had been heaped by the side. There were five separate rooms on a single line but the doors were locked. The contestants quickly figured out that the setting of this game would be like the fifth game. They will all be separated and will play the game inside their respective rooms.Just as they were discussing among themselves, the gong sounded and the eldest council member began to speak; "In today's game, you are expected to hunt. Inside each of these five rooms are Bulls with two horns and t

REGRET

Miguel entered his room and noticed that the bull was on the other side. He wanted to strike it on its nose since he was sure that the bull would become afraid and concede. However, he knew the only way he could achieve this was to walk closer to the bull. He took off his sandals and quietly tiptoed towards where the bull was while holding his sword in his hand. The bull finally noticed him just as he got in front of it. Without wasting any time, he attacked the bull's nose with his sword, injuring it severely and causing it to bleed. Rather than cower as he had expected, the bull attacked him and in the process pierced his left hand with one of its horns. Miguel was sent flying and hit his back painfully on a tree. The sword fell from his right hand but he got up and picked it up again. His left hand was seriously bleeding and his body was in a lot of pain but that was the least of his problems as the bleeding bull charged towards him in a bid to finish him off.He began running a

THE BOOBY TRAPS

Elsa got ready for her eighth game and waited for the sound of the gong along with the other contestants. Soon enough, the gong sounded and the eldest council member began speaking."You are all welcome once again to the eighth day of the Ulundi contest. Today's game is going to test your reflexes and your resilience. It is called, 'the booby traps'. This game is probably the simplest you have played so far.A part of the forest has been specifically prepared for this game. Follow the white arrow and it will lead you to the location Once you are all there, you will be given further instructions on what to do."As they all followed the arrow into the forest, Elsa looked at her thigh which had not fully healed. Being a hunter herself, she knew a lot about traps so she hoped that the booby traps' weren't dangerous or anything as she could not afford to sustain more injuries.When they finally got to the location, they all stopped and waited for the eldest council member to continue speak

HIGHLINING

Miguel on the other hand was thinking that if he could beat Dawson and ring the bell before him, he would move up to the third position. They both started walking quickly into the forest and tried to get ahead of each other but they were feeling really weak and occasionally had to stop and rest for a while.Back at the capital, Eric Jett looked at his son and wished that he would hurry. If he could beat Dawson and quickly get to the tree, he would end up as the winner because Elsa and Caden had already been caught in booby traps.Dawson and Miguel finally got closer to where the bell was. From where they stood, they could both see Elsa and Caden trying to free themselves from their traps. Dawson realized that since he was in second position if he could be the first to ring the bell, he would finally beat Caden and rise to the first position.With this realization, he ran with all his might, leaving Miguel struggling behind. However, just as he got close to Elsa and Caden, Elsa finally

COULD HE HAVE DROWNED?

The moment he heard the sound of the gong, Caden quickly got onto his rope and began moving. He stretched his two arms apart and suspended them in the air. Seeing this, Dawson also got onto his rope, whereas, Elsa and Miguel stood watching the both of them. Caden's body shook but he struggled to balance himself as he took one step at a time. Dawson tried to do the same thing but after taking a few steps, he lost his balance and fell. He screamed as he plunged down and fortunately ended up inside the river.Elsa looked at Caden and wondered why he was so good. From the look of things, she would never be able to beat him. As Becky watched Elsa on the screen, she felt that Elsa had decided to sit this game out and she couldn't blame her.After what Elsa suffered the last time she was in a river, any right-thinking person in her shoes would also be afraid to take such a risk. Even if Elsa was going to lose because of that, it was better for her to be alive than dead.Dawson struggled and

CREEPING ME OUT

As Elsa watched Caden moving with his hands, she suddenly had an idea. She quickly got on the rope but rather than move with her legs, she wrapped her hands around the rope. When she also began dangling from the rope like Caden, she lifted her body and wrapped her legs around the rope. The sun shone directly on her face as she was facing the sky. She wanted to close her eyes but she felt was too risky. She needed to look at the ropes as she moved with her hands to avoid any accidents so she bore through it.Becky's heart was in her mouth as she watched Elsa. She squeezed her hands so hard that her nails dug into the skin on her palms. Jesse's mother who sat beside her slowly tapped her back to help her remain calm as she seemed to be shaking.Jesse's mother had spared no effort in trying to win Becky over. She kept bringing food for Becky and each time, Becky politely declined her offer as she clearly knew her intentions. Even Gavin Blake knew that his wife was up to no good but that

I WILL MAKE YOU PAY FOR IT

She went directly to the hut Becky shared with Elsa close to the entrance of the forest.When she got there, however, she realized that Becky was not at home. It was at that moment that she realized that Becky must have decided to watch her daughter's performance in the Ulundi contest.She quickly made her way to the viewing center and true enough, saw Becky in the company of Gavin Blake and his wife. She quickly came down from her horse and walked over to her. Becky was surprised when she saw her as she knew that all the Rulers would be at the capital and it was only normal for their queens to also be there.The surprise on Becky's face quickly disappeared and she turned her attention back to the screen. Riley tapped her back and said "I need to speak with you privately"Becky ignored her but this only infuriated her because she was used to receiving

THE GUAMPE TREE

When the last Ulundi game was revealed to the viewers, there were different reactions from them. Becky immediately began crying tears of joy as she was now sure that Elsa would come back as a Ruler. Gavin Blake congratulated her immediately. Being a second Ruler was something that most men could never accomplish, no matter how hard they tried. But Elsa did it. She made them proud. When she first went there, she was disadvantaged and looked down upon by everyone but now she had earned everyone's trust and respect. Their lives were surely going to change when she came back as a Ruler.Jesse's mother stared at Becky and her husband with a dumbfounded expression on her face. Even though she now had faith in Elsa that she would succeed, they had not even begun the game yet. Why were Becky and her husband celebrating as if the game was over?
