章 61: Soren Vylor

"A little more, just a little more." Soren kept repeating the same phrase to himself like a mantra, reaching out his hand to grab another rock on the side of the cliff, propelling himself upward.

All around him kids similar to his age, were grabbing onto the rocky mountain, holding on for dear life while trying their best to reach the top.

Soren was just about to take another step when a sudden scream caught his attention. This time he didn't even look to check what had happened. Another one had fallen, it was as simple as that. Besides these screams had become way too familiar the higher they climbed up.

Originally they had started with over a thousand kids. Yet now only less than a hundred remains, all of them in grave shape, yet still refusing to let go.
