Perception

Even as the sun rose towards the zenith, the bustling training grounds of the City Guard found no peace. Although quite a few City guards had passed the obstacle course once or twice, they were far from completing the mandated 15 repetitions. 

Commander Povnar steeled his heart and ignored the wailing of his City Guards to watch the attempts of the Harbingers. 

In the past half an hour, the Harbingers led by Samar had attempted the course quite a few times. They were caked in mud and bruised from the Earthen Spikes but the light in their eyes had not dimmed.

Now, Samar was ready to take another gander at the course!

"Whoosh!" Samar exhaled deeply as he stood in front of the mud pit, his eyes scanning the reptiles disturbed by the City Guards. He mapped their course and dived into the mud pit, crawling his way to the other side.
