"Hi guys," Dedrick (centaur) said to the final three. "It’s like old times, huh? Like I never left."
"Except now you’re the announcer," Ranzkin (gnome) said.
"Yes. You may have noticed Kailen the Fairy was taken in the night by the will of the island."
"Voted off, you mean," William (werewolf) said.
"Umm… yes." Dedrick absently stomped a hoof in the dewy morning grass. "Is everyone ready for an exciting game?"
William groaned. "Yes! Get on with it already."
Dedrick frowned. "Paige doesn’t look too ready."
Paige (zombie) looked up at Dedrick, "What?"
"This is her one hour of human form," Ranzkin said. I gave her something for the pain of her broken arm and hydra bite. She’s as here as she’s going to be."
"Okay, I guess. Your last challenge dealt with elements of water, today’s game will have fire. It’s called Fire Fall. The first person to traverse the blazing labyrinth and recover the fist sized golden pearl wins the game, but be careful of falling flaming feathers, as phoenix/hawk hybrids will be recording the event from above."
"Sounds simple enough," William said. "Where’s the maze? I don’t see any smoke."
Ash colored puffs suddenly rose in the western sky from. Trails of sparks followed the paths of circling birds beyond the wood.
"Looks like they just lit it," Ranzkin said. "Lets call a truce until we find the entrance."
I don't want my Marvel touching my Disney. It'll get infected!
