He would take a few deep breaths, and open his eyes to look at his peers

A few moments later, he would see Zeke's body relax. He stays silent outside of his ragged breathing.

Yeza is on the ground at this point, screaming and convulsing violently.

Darius would go to her side, placing a hand in hers. "You can do this." He whispers

She let's out one last loud shriek, squeezing his hand with all her might as her blue eyes shoot open, her muscles relaxing moments after.

He smiles at her "Morning." He offers, standing and extending a hand to help her do the same.

She gives him a dazed look, weakly reaching up for his hand.

"Very good. Next test will be a test of your agility," Lazarus says as Nico drops something into the fire.

Immediately the landscape around them shifts and they are standing right at the entrance to a large forest with three apparent paths.

"These paths are obstacle courses set up to test you. In additional to the natural hurdles you will have to pass, there will also be arrows occasionally aimed at you. Make it to the other side in time and alive."

"Do we get to choose which path?" Darius asks, "Can we work together?"

The brothers all grin at Darius, seemingly pleased with his questions. "All that is required is that you survive."

For a moment, it almost seems like there is relief on Yeza's face. Curious, considering that she never shows emotion.

Zeke shrugs and smiles. "The more the merrier," he says. "Which path should we take?"

Darius would take a moment to study the paths and see if anything makes its self apparent in the way of most/least travelled, and best/worst terrain

The middle path looks significantly more traveled than the others. Close inspections would have Darius seeing a tangle of thorns not far into the right path.

"I think the middle is the most travelled, which means more initiates choose it. Or that more foes do...either way though, the right will have the roughest terrain it seems. Left may be our safe bet, thoughts?" Darius asks, standing up and looking the others over "And do you have weapons?"

Yeza shrugs. "No weapons and no opinions," she says, looking toward Zeke.

"Well, middle seems like a trap. Most tests would be set up that way. The left path looks good, but that makes me skeptical. I've heard that the evil you know is better than the evil you don't."
