233 Second Stage of the Competition (2)

Once the students were handed over the basic necessities, they lined up to enter the portals. Each student was given a flare torch just before they entered different portals. 

Adrianna took the flare torch from Professor Ziu. Just before she entered, he cautioned her, "Be careful." Adrianna nodded enthusiastically and entered the portal. What she stepped out into was unimaginable. There were snow covered mountains everywhere. It was a dessert of snow. She looked around in all directions. Except her there was no one. She spotted some pine trees that were covered in snow that looked like tiny dots from where she was. Their green spiky leaves were trying to poke their way out of snow.
