The individual challenge

As always Robert took charge and moved towards the old man.

“So we have decided to take the individual challenge. We don't like the outcome of playing against each others. I know Liam too well for that.” said Robert as an answer to the Eternal challenge.

“Very well, I will conjure a portal for each one of you and you will step through and face your inner demon. Some of your challenges will respect the law of reality of your world, but some don't so be prepared for anything.” said the old man to the group while making some movement with his hand.

At the same moment, five red portals appear in front of each member of the group. They could feel some heat emanating from the portal and suddenly they start to fear what might be lurking on the other side.

“Wait a minute. I think we accept the deal a little bit too quickly to my taste. We don't even know what wait for us on the other side.” said Anna stepping in front of Robert.

“Don't be afraid, my dear Anna. You must step inside on your own free will. I won't **** you inside and you can always change your mind and choose the other challenges. You must perform one, at least it is the rules.” explain the old man.

“Can we at least have a clue of what's on the other side. That will help me make my choice. And it will be my choice and no others.” said Anna is trying to sound confident like when she debate on women's equality.

“It's not against the rules. So I will give you some hints of what await you on the other side. Like I said before, you will face your dark side or deepest fear, but you won't be thrown in a room full of spiders or something like that. It's deeper than that and far more personal. Robert you think of yourself has responsibilities, but are trying to control everything. Sarah so shy, so sweet, so innocent with the proper push you may become a different person. Melody so proud of your beautiful body what will you become if you lose it. Liam always eager to joke and make fun of girls are you hiding some insecurity. And you Anna given the proper incentive will you give up your principles for new desire.” said the Eternal.
