Keeping items of the old for future references was always a very good choice for any person or organization to follow , as it will surely come in handy at any point in time. If all these weren't stored right here at the basement which was now referred to as the stone cave, maybe Mason and others before him wouldn't even know the things they knew right now. Standing in front of the huge framed picture on the wall, Mason could see the picture of his ancestor, Stark himself,the very first person who had actually created the Starks. Noticing that Claire had now moved on to the next picture which was positioned far after a few more pictures, Mason's eyes darted as he gently took a few steps forward and was now standing right beside Claire. Now he could clearly see the picture she was staring at, it was a picture of a lady who seemed to be in her early 40s, she had a slight smile on her face and a head full with silver hairs which was braided in pairs as they ran down her back with a f
The Stark was more like a brotherhood, although it doesn't accommodate evil, it has been a brotherhood few years after lord stark himself, the original creator of the Starks created the Stark company in his name.He had initially created the company for just his direct bloodline which consisted of his family, kids and their generations to come. But then there was no way it would grow if it was only meant to be managed by only his direct bloodlines, so he had created a brotherhood, which grew to be more like the pillars of the Starks. This brotherhood was more like a clan, which consists of anyone who was found trustworthy, and dedicated to serving the Starks till their last breath. But it was actually more of those having the blood of Lord Stark in their veins. This brotherhood has been the main power of the Starks , they have held the Starks and have successfully taken the Starks to the top making it one of the most powerful companies in the world. Out of the seven great companie
The initiation trials were something that was done to those eligible for the crown and the leadership of the Starks. These trials were done to test or rather to build the participant in question, it tests their durability, how long they would survive in there. Although one could die in there, it was less likely to be the case, as no one in the history of the Starks had died while carrying out the initiation trials. There was a belief that says, if one was a true bloodline of Lord Stark, the founder of the Starks, then they won't die inside the trial space no matter how long they seem to stay in there. But if a person who was not a direct or true bloodline of lord Stark enters the trial space, then they would surely die. No one really knows how true this was as it had never been tested before. The initiation trials were like a game, divided into stages, with each stage designed for a different purpose, and somehow it gets tougher by each stage. As Mason stood on the step, hand still
It all seemed like a dream to Mason, he was totally shocked and confused with what was happening around him, he had only seen things like this in the movies, never had he thought that he would withness or come across something like this. Was it a kind of technology? Or was it magic ? Or witchcraft? Mason was so confused that he felt his knees weakening. Earlier when he touched the glowing exit at the top of the staircase which was written on a kind of hard material something had happened, something that left his mouth wide open even up to this moment. As soon as his palm touched the exit, the whole of his surroundings began to change right in front of him. The topography, the terrain and every other thing changed , it wasn't just a little change, it was a huge change that had made him begin to wonder if it was a kind of new technology or maybe it was magic or witchcraft. The once blue room began to varnish, huge thick trees sprouted out of the ground, in place of the blue ceiling,
The second stage of the initiation trial was one that was far more difficult than the first, it was one that involved a life and death situation, although no one in history had actually died in the second stage, no one had dealt with the red eyed beast this easily. At the bottom of a cliff, just beside a large waterfall, a boy could be seen coughing out water, his whole body drenched and soaked from the strand of hair on his head to the sole of his shoes. The water could be seen streaming past his feet as he struggled to get back to his feet, standing beside the river bank with water dripping from his body. By his left hand side was a large creature with dark furs, a pool of black blood could be seen mixing with the running water beside the beast.Streams of black blood could also be seen gushing out of its head, as its head could be seen resting at the top of a small sized rock while the rest of its body was submerged in water. Looking at the creature closely one could tell that
It's been two days since Mason started his initiation trial, even up to this moment, the young master was still very much unaware that what he was passing through right now was the initiation trial. Although he knew about the initiation, but had never heard of the trials, not like Claire, old Greg or the rest of the council would have told him what was inside the initiation Chambers if he was to know about the trials anyway. It was like a custom to them that words or rather information about the initiation trials should be kept a secret from the participants, as this was the only way to be sure that they would come out of the situation in their own capabilities. This was an old custom and since it was established it had been effective till date. Struggling past the leaves and bushes, although Mason was still strong due to the antidote he took earlier, he knew this strength wouldn't last long, so he knew he needed to be quick, Quick in finding the second antidote.He was uncertain
Passing through and dodging the dangling weird fruits wouldn't be that difficult if Mason had been at his peak condition.With dizzy eyes he was able to cross it, but then something had caught his attention immediately he got to the last fruit which somehow was larger than the rest. Its weird nature was so obvious that Mason had to stop and stare. As he looked at it, Mason's eyes widened when he made a discovery, one that had never crossed his mind since he began trying to walk through the dangling fruits. Just at the top of the giant oblong blue fruit, Mason could see a little hole, which somehow looked like it was recently made. Taking two steps further, Mason squinted his eyes and lowered his head a little so that he was now at the same level as the fruit, staring directly into the little hole.Mason could see a kind of light bluish liquid trickling out of the hole rolling down the body of the fruit. As he looked into the hole, the young master could see that there was a shiny
Standing there in front of the blue beast who had already moved, ready to attack, Mason was frightened but he knew if he didn't do anything he would be blasted away or even killed in this one attack.He was already feeling the effect of the first antidote wearing off,it was clear it's time was almost over, he needed the second antidote so bad, it was more of a life and death situation, and now was not the time to be a coward.now wasn't the time to be a hero either, it was the time to think smart.Like the saying that goes ' he who fights and run away lives to fight another day' Now was not the time to run away, because If he was to run away he wouldn't live to see the next day not to talk of fighting again. What Mason needed was a plan.So thinking fast , a quick idea popped up in the young master's head, one which he was sure would get him out of this situation. Although it was a stupid idea, one that had even made the council members outside yell at the top of their voices, but th
