Sprinting across the field of green, my heart thumps, trying to break free. The shouts and screams fill my ears as arrows rain down onto me. Dodging right and left, and all around i reach the end of my journey. Below, the rushing water churns and gurgles waiting to kill me. Glancing back and forth, i jump. The air slams into me, trying to save me as i plummet to my death. But i won't. Chanting at the top of my lungs i slow to a stop. No one can defeat me.
