Just then a tall, lean man appeared in front of Jayde, he had striking silver hair with pale blue eyes, the attractiveness of his face was marred by his sneer.
"So this is our contractor," the man said, his eyes showing disgust "Really Number One, the contractors of Doha are getting worse each time, you really scraped the bottom of the barrel for this one"
"White!" Isha said reproachfully.
"Oh please Number One, look at her, sh*t look at those puny little arms, does she even have the strength to lift a sword, and you expect her to save —"
"White, enough!" Isha interrupted angrily.
Watching the interactions between the two made Jayde realize that she had made a serious mistake, she had been treating Isha like one of the AI computers back in the Federation, which was a serious miscalculation on her part.
From the little bit of the conversation that she had overheard, she came to the conclusion that this artifact seemed to have its own agenda. She was no longer in the Federation, but in another dimension which had its own rules, and she needed to adjust her mindset, she couldn't expect things to go the same as it would in the Federation.
Just then Isha took a deep calming breath, turning to Jayde he introduced White.
"Jayde this is White —"
"Mr. White" White interrupted
"This is Mr. White your new teacher" Isha continued
"I haven't agreed to take her as my student" White said disdainfully "She needs to pass my assessment first, only then will she be worthy to be my student"
And with that statement, White waved his hand, and Jayde found herself sucked into a new place.
Looking around she found that she was in an open prairie, the area in front of her was as flat at as a pancake, and as wide as an ocean, there were no mountains, no hills, nothing to block the view to the horizon, huge fields of tall yellow grass gently swaying in the breeze, as far as the eye can see.
"Really the power that these entities had was quite disconcerting," she thought to herself.
Jayde heard White's disembodied voice "The assessment test is simple. You just need to survive until the end of the test"
Jayde doubted that the test was as simple as White said, he did not strike her as a simple character, and he came across quite disgusted having her as a student. Jayde was convinced that whatever this "assessment test" was, he had set it up for her to fail.
Just then, as to confirm Jayde judgment, multiple howls pieced through the air.
A pack of beasts appeared on the horizon, taking out her sword, Jayde analyzed the creatures approaching.
The beasts, although bipedal, seemed to be an expert on all fours. Their heads resembled wolves from old Earth history, their eyes glowed red. Their bodies were muscular and covered in black fur, their hands and feet were tipped with serrated claws. Just by looking at them you could see these were apex predators, designed to rip and shred their prey — and their current prey was Jayde.
One of the beasts lifted its head and howled, it seemed to be communicating with its packmates.
The pack split, surrounding Jayde. In that frozen split second between standoff and fighting Jayde could see their red eyes glowing with hunger and madness. Not giving them a second to respond Jayde leapt into the air, her sword swinging, the sun reflecting off the metal, expertly slicing the jugular of the beast nearest to her.
Not waiting to see the beast fall, Jayde immediately charged the next creature.
The beasts howled in fury when they saw one of their packmates fall, viciously they attacked Jayde. With her sword swinging back and forth Jayde desperately tried to defend herself, her agile body arching and swaying she avoided those deadly claws. Her sword ruthlessly harvesting the lift of any creature that got to close.
Soon the yellow grass was darkly stained with blood as the creatures corpses began to pile up.
A sudden gush of pain jolted through Jayde chest. Looking down with disbelief, Jayde saw one of the beasts arm's sticking out of her chest. It had snuck up on her, and punch through her back, penetrating her chest.
Her chest ached terribly, her arms lost strength and her legs began to weaken. Her tongue was soaked in the taste of blood, as her mouth filled with blood. With her lips coated in blood, Jayde's eyes began to darken.
Falling ever so slowly, the terrible ache that filled her chest had faded away to an icy numbness. Blackness started to fill the edges of Jayde's vision and the only thing she could hear was the slowing down of her own heartbeat.
Then Jayde's fragile, human heartbeat one last time.
