Bab 204: Chess

Everyone was surprised to see a huge chessboard. It was something strange and unbelievable.

"Welcome to the next challenge and maybe even the final challenge. It will be up to you." Said the mask flying up to the group.

"Chess is a worthy game to put your lives on the line, isn't it?"

"What are the rules?" Asked Ayla.

"It's simple, two of you will play, and the rest of you will bet on who wins. The losers will die. That goes for the players and those who make the bets."

"How do we determine who will play?" Finch muttered.

"Huh, it was all decided a long time ago, during the first challenge. As you all know, chess has two sides, white and black. They are two opposite colors that are as far apart as possible. You could say it's the first and last color."

No one understood what the mask was talking about. Ayla waited with trepidation to find out who would play.
