บท 170: 170-Too Many Victories

Helanie:

"I am ready for my attack," Lamar yelled, holding his herb tightly in his hand. Penn was making sure that neither he nor Lamar stayed too far from me. I was sure they were worried that if I were alone and the Frogster attacked, I would get hurt. But that was exactly what I wanted to change. I didn't want to be dependent on anyone. They had their own test to pass; they shouldn't be babysitting me.

"Got it," Penn said, giving him a thumbs up, and I nodded in agreement. I thought facing the Frogster would be terrifying, but it wasn't that scary at all.

I watched Lamar throw the herb he brought at the Frogster, but it only made the creature go crazy. The Frogster barely moved, and we knew in that moment it had failed.

We jumped around, trying to confuse the Frogster enough that it wouldn't focus on just one of us. I could hear shouts and screams outside the cage—some cheering for us, others filled with worry.
