Up: Game 3  Up: Game 3 Outline

Post Battle Stress

By now your adrenaline is up, your blood ringing in your ears as your heart pounds, you've never been in REAL combat before, well, you the training room was like combat but you outclassed the trainees. These guys however, were a lot stronger. The only reason you’re really matching them is the new body, which reacts much faster and seems to be working on reflex. No sooner do you think of something, you’re doing it. Still, it is the same as handing a postal worker a really big gun and dropping him into the middle of world war 2, while your body is fine, your mind is screaming, and your body, no matter how designed for this is reacting to it. Your legs are shaking unsteadily, your heart beating a mile to the minute.

You can let this get to you, you tell yourself, and you still got a ways to go. Trying to bite down on your anxiety, you turn to the direction of the castle and begin running again, the effort helping to vent the stress your feeling. Soon you can see the castle gates, you think of what could be waiting for you, Ogres, Trolls, and any number of nasty creatures and surprises. And these will be more like the others, seasoned warriors. Better get started, before you get cold feet. You pick up speed and charge...
