“Where am I”, I yelled while standing up, “what is this place” I whispered, I started walking for a bit until I felt the ground shiver, and again and again with still greater force.

At the moment the shiver stopped. In the silence I heard a different whistling sound of something whipping terribly fast through the air and, glancing fearfully, saw two or three bushes uprooted and tossed away.

Beside me there were four explosive devise’s shaped like metal eggs stuffed inside a navy type bag, I picked up the bag, and heard a noise, I turned around and saw a silver knife lying by a rock.

This might be useful I thought, so I picked it up and chucked in my pocket, suddenly a snake like creature sword through the dark black sky landing in front of me, poison was dripping from its fangs, the creatures body was covered with a metal like armour, it was to times the size of a bus, its eyes were staring at me, like it was about to strike.

Without hesitation, I grabbed two metal eggs and through them simultaneously, then quickly ran to a nearby rock, hearing the sound of the metal eggs impact. I looked up to see what was happening, the creature was out of site because of the dust, after a few min the dust started to disappear, it looked like metal eggs didn’t do any damage, it just made the creature more angry.

I grabbed the last  few eggs, ignoring the pain I ripped out the ring and with all my strength I through it, the egg ripped through the hemisphere and landed on the head of the creature causing it to fall, ”here’s my chance” I whispered as I grabbed the remaining eggs and troughed it.

The egg missed the creature, and landed by a nearby rock, I prepared to run but it was too late, the creature grabbed me by its tale.

I plucked at it with my left arm, but it was like trying to bend a rock. It held me with amazing precision, tight but not crushing, and it lifted me as it might lift a mouse. Except a mouse could bite, and I could do nothing against the hard gleaming surface that held me.

I was lifted up, up, the ground shrank below me. I was steeple-high, higher. I looked up, and saw a silver light coming from the sky, then I remembered the silver knife I found, I reached down to my pocket, and felt the knife, “it’s still there”, with all my strength I reached down, and grabbed the knife.

Pain leapt in my arm again, but I ignored it. I hurled the knife with all my strength, and what accuracy I could muster I troughed it. I thought at first that I had missed, but the knife ricocheted inside the armour. The tentacle continued to carry me forward.

Despair came back that my last chance gone. But at the instant I felt the tale holding me relax and fall away. A few moments later the creature had fallen, fountain of dust spouted into the air, leaving darkness, I was lying on the floor helpless, until I heard a deep voice “well done Shinigami you have passed the test”, then a hand reached out with a niddle, injecting some sort of chemical into my body.
