EMBERS
Initiation Night

The night of determination arrived. The night is the third and final stage of the recruitment of new cosmic members. The night of judgment will be held tonight at exactly twelve o'clock in the evening and end at five o'clock in the morning.

The two best groups at the elimination stage five days ago had already been announced. The two groups were a group of two led by a student named River and a group of four who were Sairish groups. The two groups are already gathering in cosmic space at this time to carry out the night of determination.

Before the night of the decider began, Edgar stood in cosmic space to give a speech and explain the tasks and rules of the deciding night to the participants.

On this fateful night, Edgar and three other cosmic members wore dark red cosmic alma mater suits with subordinates of long black cloth pants. While the participants wear long shirts and subordinates training pants that are both black. Each participant is also required to bring lighting supplies in the form of a flashlight.

"We the organizers congratulated the two best groups who had passed the elimination stage five days ago. Applause to appreciate your hard work" Edgar said. The participants also clapped their hands.

"On the night of this Friday, you will carry out the third and final stage of recruitment activities for new cosmic members, namely the night of determination. Tonight you will again fight for five quota to become new cosmic members. We will give you three missions. We have placed the mission in six places in this school. Each group is working on their mission in a different place. The group that most quickly completes the mission with the perfect result will be the winner. Understood?"

"Unclear Brother!" the participants answered Edgar.

The finished Edgar gave a retreated welcome sitting in his chair. This time it was Hugo who stood up to give the map a hint.

"Here I hold two maps that contain road directions for you to come to the place of the three missions. We will give you a map. Remember, this map should not be lost. Understood?"

"Understand, Brother!" answer the participants to Hugo.

Each leader of the group comes forward to Hugo to take a map of the clues from Hugo.

Hugo sat down after completing his task. This time it was Vivian who stood up to give the ID Cards to the participants.

"We will also give the identity card of the participant to you. Just like the clue map earlier, this identity card also should not be lost. Understood?"

"Understand, Brother!"

Vivian sat back down. This time Agam as the cosmic chairman stood up to open the night determination activities.

"Before I open the night of determination, I will give you a warning message first. You have to listen carefully" said Agam in a serious tone. He began giving warning messages to the participants.

"In this school there are ghosts. The name of the ghost is Bara. The ghost of Bara is a school student like us. The ghostly features of the sinister pale white-faced Bara, her body soaked, she wears a red cosmic alma mater suit like us, she also carries a school bag on her back. You lucky ones will be terrorized and harmed only by the ghost of Bara. If you're unlucky, you could be dead. Therefore, if you meet the ghost of Bara when completing the mission later, you must immediately run and hide to save yourself. Understood?"

Participants did not answer. They immediately whispered after Agam said the warning message. They're talking about Bara's ghost. They know very well the ghost of Bara who is being talked about by Agam because they have often heard rumors about the ghost of Bara in this school. And they are now afraid and hesitant to follow the night of determination. They don't want to be met and preyed upon by Bara's ghost. They don't want to die silly.

Agam who is sensitive to the fear of the participants at this time also tried to calm them by giving a little advice that they carry out the night of determination calmly without getting terror from the ghost of Bara.

"You don't have to be afraid. You'll be safe if you stick together and protect each other until the night of decisiveness is over. That's what the group is for. The key is only one, you can not split or wander alone. Do not separate yourself from your group. Understood?"

"Understand, Brother!"

Agam lit the torch and lifted the torch up then Agam said, "Well, hereby I am Agam as the cosmic chairman opening the night of the determination by lighting this torch. The night of our determination begins. You can all split from now on according to your respective groups. Good luck to you all!"

"Thank you, brother!" the participants told Agam. They left to start their deciding night with their respective groups.

"Sairish!"

Sairish who had left the room with her group mates had to stop her steps when Agam suddenly called out to her. The cosmic chief approached Sairish and gently rubbed the top of Sairish's head.

"Be careful. I love you. Don't die, Sairish" Agam told Sairish.

Sairish replied with a smile. Then he went back to running after his friends.
