C 15. Pressure

Each choice they make, either left or right, leads to different destinations. Like Samuel that takes right all the time, if anyone makes the same decision they will reach the city as Samuel and his clans.

Three weeks was not an easy time for the Strong Bone clan as they transverse Endless passage! They have the notion of giving up so much time but due to their pride and previous training, they were able to persevere.

Daniel might have helped any way possible to make them keep moving as the mental pressure kept washing on their mind increased, but the real reason was Samuel himself.

If Strong Bone clans members will know the situation of the other group, they will kiss his feet in appreciation.

From the first ten gates onward, which was about 80-120 Km from the hundred meters first entrance door, tents and abodes were established because they can no longer move forward.

The reason is the same mental pressure and fatigue that was complained about by the Strong Bone clan. The pressure weighs on everyone's shoulders whether they are a child or not, strong or weak.

People of different nations were strewn in different passages of the Endless passage. One th8ng that looked comm9n on them is the robes that they were given when they reached the entrance.

"How can we tackle this problem?" A person said in a circle of other people. Their age and height varied, but none were older than twenty. One thing more common is they look tired and are sweating profusely.

"I think we should force our way forward, sitting here is not a solution, it can only delay us, and we become more…"

"Hold it, half of my people are out and…"

"Half!? You do know that I'm the only one standing in my clansmen…."

"Calm yourself, we are getting agitated for no reason. We should think of solutions, not relay our problems. Okay. The youngest among them said.

He seems to be suffering less than them. As his eyes are clear white as opposed to the rest, also he doesn't sweat.

"Okay, I assume I should take the position of temporary leader." The kid said. No one shows denial.

"Okay, I have travelled back and forth of the gates and I found many are in our situation. Factions are being created.

Those that came from the surface unite, and the mountain world kingdom also unite. They decided to aud each other, but that was not important as there are other groups that aren't suffering the pressure.

Or to say that they feel minimal effects of the pressure. They were jugg8ng when they entered door 58 and even when they were talking with us, they were moving around.

They helped some of them, but because their route did not bring them here you did not see them."

"You should have gone to the point," one of them said.

"Okay, I suggest those that can move carry others, and we keep moving. The pressure is in our head, not our body, so we still have our body strength.

The Ocean Empire people are the last to enter the door from where the bubble pops out.

The prince desired to see every one method and also record the different nations from the Surface world and Mountain world.

As a leader, he made a mental note of people that he needed to make acquaintance with, and there were a lot.

Another thing is, he has a device that calculates and predicts to him the battle strength and danger level of every group.

His guards also are making different observations to learn how best to prepare in case one of those people become the enemy of the prince. As they have only one job, to serve and protect the prince till their very end.

And as he came from a country that was hailed as the strongest, there was bound to be an abundance of enemies for them. In fact, some of them lamented that why would the emperor allow the crown prince to come here without a single Orbiter as a guard.

None of the guards are Orbiter, but they were equipped with the best artefact their kingdom has to offer. Yet, an Orbiter is still better.

And that is why, High Elder Mora wanted to take the prince to the maze until they reached the Mother City safely. His wish is to protect the Prince, nothing else.

After everyone enters the first door, the prince gestures for everyone to follow him. He kept his sister by his side and made sure everything she did was under his watch, despite the fact that she also has her own guards too.

It takes them days to reach the end of their destination as opposed to the city, they reached a desert. A giant gemray overhead, basking them with light and heat.

They too surfers from the hindrance of the pressure, but the prince was smart enough to take a drastic measure just like Samuel and bulldoze his way through the passages.

They have some of their royal guards that go to coma and some become retarded, but everything was able to be solved fast.

In fact, the prince was able to bring out a humanoid constructs that help them in carrying people that can't move forward.

And for some reason they did not meet anyone on their way, as if the prince picked a complicated turn of doors that did not lead them to anyone

...

He looked at his people and everything was to his liking. There is a good disguise on all of them.

From now onward there is no more Prince or Princess. They will behave and act as members of the Nora Clan. And because he knew that the several single double doors lead to different destinations that lead to Orb Collectors, they have no fear as every one is dispersed.

He looked at his palm size Glass ID and pinpoint the location of an Orb collector, he led them forward.
