Temple Run. Chapter 7. So Close, Yet So Far

King Cedric, filled with anticipation and excitement for the upcoming 7th temple run, began preparing himself for the grand challenge that lay ahead. As he strolled through the regal corridors of his palace, his eyes met with a black raven guard who caught his attention.

The guard possessed an air of mystery and strength that intrigued the king. With dark hair, mesmerizing blue eyes, and an athletic physique, he exuded a captivating presence. King Cedric found himself unable to divert his gaze, admiring the soldier’s finely sculpted legs, adorned with a subtle layer of dark leg hair.

An intuition surged within the king as he sensed a potential participant for the imminent temple run. He deeply believed that this guard, with his alluring and compelling aura, possessed the qualities needed to face the arduous challenges that awaited them.

Eager to act upon his intuition, King Cedric summoned Gerhard, his trusted confidant and the leader of the black ravens, to discuss his discovery. With a confident smile, the king pointed out the soldier whom he had taken an interest in, explaining his desire for him to partake in the temple run as the seventh participant.

As Gerhard listened attentively to the king’s request, his smile widened. He revealed that the soldier’s name was Pat, a dedicated member of the black ravens known for his unwavering loyalty and exceptional skills. Gerhard assured the king that Pat possessed the perfect combination of physical prowess, mental fortitude, and bravery needed to succeed in the temple run.

King Cedric, reassured by Gerhard’s assessment, felt immense satisfaction in having entrusted Pat with this honor. He knew that under Gerhard’s guidance, Pat would undoubtedly rise to the challenge, prepared to face the trials that awaited him in the temple run.

With the exciting news settled, King Cedric envisioned the journey ahead, turning his attention towards looking forward to Pat’s death and eagerly anticipating the how it would unwind.

Pat was a 21-year-old member of the renowned Black Ravens. Right after completing his schooling, Pat made the conscious decision to join the Black Ravens, enticed by the opportunity it offered to engage in high-level sports and be part of a distinguished group. Pat’s journey began with a passion for physical excellence, and his dedication quickly led him to excel in the Black Ravens’ soccer team, where he earned the position of star striker.

Representing the Black Ravens soccer team, Pat was not only an excellent player but also emerged as the face of the team. His exceptional skills and undeniable talent on the field gained him a substantial following, becoming a fan favorite among supporters. Pat’s electric performances and ability to score goals effortlessly set him apart and solidified his reputation as a force to be reckoned with.

When Pat wasn’t patrolling the grounds or dazzling spectators on the soccer field, he could be found honing his physique at the gym. His commitment to maintaining peak physical fitness was unwavering.

 Pat’s sculpted legs and captivating body attracted attention beyond the realm of sports, leading him to engage in the world of modeling. As a sought-after underwear model, his  appearances were eagerly anticipated, and people awaited glimpses of his fine physique showcased in various photo shoots.

Pat’s modeling endeavors expanded further, granting him the privilege of participating in esteemed fashion shows and walking the runways for renowned clothing designers. Amidst the luminosity of the fashion industry, Pat’s charisma and appeal shone brightly, capturing the attention and admiration of both enthusiasts and industry professionals alike.

Beyond the limelight, Pat held a special place in his heart for his younger sister. His adoration and strong familial bonds transcended his successful progression within the Black Ravens. Pat’s achievements resonated deeply with his entire family, as they took great pride in his journey and the person he had become. Their unwavering support served as a foundation for Pat, strengthening his resolve to face the challenges of the temple run with unwavering determination and the love of his loved ones firmly in his heart.

As King Cedric contemplated his decision, he felt a strong inclination to request Pat’s presence in the royal chamber. Aware of Pat’s illustrious reputation within the Black Ravens, the king desired a personal meeting to discuss an important matter. Through Gerhard, a message was swiftly dispatched to summon the captivating warrior, emphasizing the urgency and importance of his visit to the king.

As Pat stood outside the door to the king’s chamber, a sense of unease washed over him. He couldn’t help but wonder what he had done wrong to warrant a direct summons from the king himself. Thoughts raced through his mind, questioning his actions or potential mistakes that might have caught the king’s attention.

Summoning his courage, Pat knocked on the door, and Gerhard’s commanding voice echoed through the chamber, granting him entrance. As he stepped into the room, he respectfully executed the Black Raven code, a clenched fist across his chest, symbolizing his loyalty and commitment to the king and the Black Ravens.

King Cedric gestured for Pat to approach, and the black raven obediently moved closer. With a welcoming smile, the king extended his hand, shaking Pat’s with firmness and dignity. He expressed his knowledge of Pat’s achievements and the positive reputation he had earned through his unwavering dedication and remarkable skills.

Grateful for the king’s kind words, Pat humbly thanked him, his voice reflecting his genuine appreciation for the recognition bestowed upon him. With the pleasantries exchanged, the king swiftly moved to the crux of the matter. King Cedric disclosed the honor bestowed upon Pat, revealing that he had been selected to represent the Black Ravens in the next temple run.

A mixture of shock and profound responsibility overwhelmed Pat at that moment. He had witnessed the unforgiving severity of the temple run, knowing that it had claimed the lives of all past participants, including the first Black Raven entrant, Matt. However, he quickly composed himself, realizing that showing fear would only undermine the king’s trust in him. With humility in his words, Pat thanked the king for choosing him and vowed not to let him down.

King Cedric, impressed by Pat’s resolve and unwavering determination, reassured him that he had faith in his abilities, expressing his belief that Pat would achieve great things within the formidable temple. With the king’s words resonating deeply within him, Pat left the royal chamber with a renewed sense of purpose, ready to embark on the perilous journey that lay ahead.

Pat’s participation in the upcoming temple run was shrouded in secrecy, known only to a select few individuals. King Cedric and Gerhard, in their strategic wisdom, had decided to keep Pat’s involvement under wraps until the opportune moment. This clandestine approach aimed to maximize the impact of his revelation and heighten the suspense surrounding the grand event.

The plan was carefully devised, with the intention of surprising not only the kingdom’s inhabitants but also other members of the Black Ravens. Pat’s identity would be unveiled on the televised interview, where all participants traditionally shared some insight into their motivations and strategies.

The chosen few who held knowledge of Pat’s inclusion were entrusted to maintain absolute confidentiality until the appointed time. They understood the significance of keeping this information hidden, recognizing the immense impact a surprise addition like Pat could have on the proceedings of the temple run.

As anticipation and speculation swirled among the kingdom’s populace, unaware of the secret that had been carefully guarded, the air crackled with excitement.

As evening descended, Pat took a much-needed respite from the whirlwind of anticipation surrounding the temple run and sought solace in the comforting presence of his family. Unbeknownst to them, Pat had been selected as a participant in the upcoming challenge, and they had only discovered this life-altering news when they watched his captivating TV interview.

When Pat’s family realized that he had been chosen for the temple run, a mixture of fear and concern washed over them. Their love for Pat outweighed any desire for him to succeed in the treacherous endeavor. They saw the inherent dangers and unpredictable nature of the temple run, and their hearts ached at the prospect of losing him.

In tears that mirrored their love and worry, Pat’s family pleaded with him not to embark on this perilous journey. Their fears and concerns were palpable, their desperation showcasing their unyielding love for him. They wished above all else to keep him safe and protected from harm.

Although reluctance lingered in their hearts, Pat’s family understood the strength of his conviction and the immense pride he held for his role as a Black Raven. With heavy hearts, they offered their blessings and support, praying fervently for his safety throughout the harrowing journey that awaited him.

That evening, under the warmth of their embrace, Pat drew strength from his family’s love. He cherished the moments spent with them and carried their unwavering support as a beacon of hope in the face of adversity.

Adorned in his sleek black raven uniform, his presence commanded attention as the crowd erupted into a frenzy, their cheers reverberating through the air, reaching a crescendo that echoed in the hearts of all who witnessed the spectacle.

With unwavering poise, Pat received a handshake from King Cedric, a symbol of the monarch’s trust and steadfast belief in his abilities. The weight of this gesture was not lost on Pat, as he absorbed the well-wishes bestowed upon him, embracing the profound significance of the moment.

As the crowd’s cheers reached a deafening crescendo, King Cedric raised Pat’s hand aloft, basking in the awe-inspiring validation that he, the sexy black raven, had garnered from the kingdom he represented. The powerful visual of the king’s endorsement left no doubt about Pat’s mettle and determination to succeed in the challenges that awaited him within the temple’s depths.

This gesture held the weight of tradition and camaraderie, a connection that elevated Pat’s presence from mere participant to a symbol of unity and honor.

With each stride, Pat exuded an aura of unwavering determination as he made his way toward the imposing temple doors. The crowd’s cheering served as a powerful affirmation, fueling his resolve and reminding him of the countless souls cheering him on from the sidelines. At this pivotal moment in his life, Pat embodied strength and grace, embodying the spirit of the black ravens and their legacy.

As the TV cameras zoomed in, capturing every movement and expression on Pat’s face, his eyes remained fixed on the path ahead. With each step, he embraced the challenges and risks awaiting him within the temple, ready to carve his name in the annals of history. The weight of expectation and the support of an entire kingdom propelled him toward the temple doors, where he would meet his destiny head-on.

As Pat crossed the threshold into the treacherous temple, his heartbeat with a mixture of adrenaline and unwavering courage. Every step he took was a testament to his bravery, as he ventured into the unknown depths. The weight of the temple’s reputation did not deter him; instead, it fueled his determination to conquer the challenges that lay ahead.

Taking a moment to gather himself, Pat stood at the entrance and surveyed his surroundings. The air was thick with a palpable sense of danger, each corner of the temple shrouded in mystery. Despite the daunting atmosphere, Pat remained composed, his mind focused on the task at hand. With a deep breath, he reaffirmed his commitment to triumph over the trials that awaited him.

A surge of confidence surged through Pat’s veins as he continued deeper into the temple. With each calculated step, he exuded an unwavering belief in his own abilities. The years of training and preparation had honed his skills, imbuing him with the certainty of success. Though the path ahead was treacherous and filled with hidden traps, Pat’s resolve remained unbreakable.

With the instincts of a seasoned warrior, Pat skillfully maneuvered through the temple’s labyrinthine passages, maintaining a keen eye for danger. The traps hidden within the temple’s interior seemed determined to impede his progress, but quick reflexes and instinct allowed him to deftly dodge them. The confidence he felt in his abilities propelled him forward, each successful evasion reinforcing his belief in his own prowess.

As the temple’s challenges intensified, Pat faced them head-on, unwavering in his determination. The confidence he exuded was not based on arrogance, but on a deep understanding of his own capabilities. He remained vigilant, never allowing his guard to falter, while moving with a sense of purpose that belied the dangers that lurked in every shadow.

With courage as his companion and bravery as his guide, Pat pressed forward, driven by the knowledge that success lay just beyond each dangerous twist and turn. The trials that awaited him within the temple would test his mettle, but his conviction remained unbreakable.

As Pat continued to progress through the treacherous temple, his earlier confidence evolved into a sense of cockiness. He knew that all eyes were on him, eager to witness the true essence of a Black Raven in action. With each move, he intentionally flaunted his skills, showcasing the strength and prowess that defined a member of this esteemed group. This display was not only to prove his abilities but also to inspire awe and admiration in those who watched from afar.

While Pat exuded confidence, he did not discount the dangers that lurked within the temple. He had narrowly escaped death on multiple occasions by utilizing his intelligence and quick thinking to avoid the clutches of the Reaper. These close encounters with demise heightened his awareness and made him even more determined to overcome the challenges that lay ahead.

As Pat ventured further into the depths of the temple, a chilling sight awaited him. He came across the decomposing body of the last participant to enter, Maxim. The sight of Maxim’s lifeless form, still adorned with arrows that had ended his journey, served as a stark reminder of the perilous nature of the temple run. The arrows seemed to mockingly protrude from his chest, a grim testament to the unforgiving challenges that Pat must now face.

It was evident that scavengers within the temple had not wasted any time in making a gruesome feast of Maxim’s remains. The harrowing sight of the partially consumed body served as a gruesome reminder of the unforgiving nature of the temple and the presence of unseen predators within its walls. The realization that even death did not grant reprieve from the relentless trials only strengthened Pat’s resolve to persevere.

In a calculated move, Pat decided to acquire one of the arrows that had caused Maxim’s demise. With a solemn determination, he delicately pulled an arrow from the corpse, recognizing its potential as a tool for survival. This grisly memento served as a reminder of the fragility of life within the temple and the need for resourcefulness in the face of adversity.

As he carefully stored the arrow, Pat grimly acknowledged its significance—the potential to tip the scales in his favor if the situation demanded. In this dangerous game of wits and survival, the arrow became a symbol of his resiliency and unwavering determination to emerge victorious from the temple’s clutches.

As Pat ventured further into the depths of the temple, he came across a harrowing sight. He reached a section where the walls silently told a tale of tragedy, marking the spot where Hamish had met a gruesome end. The walls bore the ominous signs of his demise, stained with the unmistakable traces of blood and bearing the haunting imprint of Hamish’s body.

With a mix of cautious reverence and determination, Pat carefully walked by these walls. Each step was deliberate, calculated to avoid disturbing the memories of Hamish’s tragic fate. The sight of the bloody imprint served as a potent reminder of the dangers that awaited within the temple, urging Pat to remain vigilant and focused.

As Pat continued his journey, he suddenly came upon the skull of Isaiah, the very first participant in this treacherous trial.

The skull lay silent and ominous, a chilling reminder of the creature that had brutally claimed Isaiah’s life. Pat’s heart raced as he hurried past, a sense of urgency and unease permeating his every movement. He knew all too well that the creature that took Isaiah’s life could still be lurking nearby, waiting for another opportunity to strike.

In this moment, the air seemed to thicken with a palpable tension. Pat’s senses sharpened, his instincts urging him to maintain a swift pace and avoid any temptation to linger. The presence of Isaiah’s skull highlighted the unforgiving nature of the temple, leaving no room for complacency. With every step, Pat remained acutely aware of the potential dangers that lay hidden within the shadows, propelling him forward with a newfound sense of urgency and caution.

As Pat continued to venture deeper into the treacherous temple, his heart pounding with a mixture of anticipation and caution, he suddenly came to a halt. Before him lay the skeletal remains of Matt, the very first participant of the Black Raven group. The sight chilled him to the core, his breath catching in his throat.

Recognizing Matt by the familiar red cape, now tattered and stained with the remnants of decay and sorrow, Pat felt a pang of grief for his fallen comrade. The sight of his skeletal remains served as a grim reminder of the risks they all faced within the temple’s unforgiving embrace.

Unable to contain his emotions, Pat instinctively reached towards his chest, forming the sign of the black Raven code as a quiet tribute to Matt. The gesture held a mix of solemnity and reverence, acknowledging the sacrifice made by the fallen Black Raven.

But there was no time to dwell on the loss. Pat knew that if he allowed himself to be consumed by grief or fear, he would meet the same fate as Matt. With a determined resolve shining in his eyes, he pushed forward, a renewed sense of urgency in his every step.

The skeletal remains of Matt acted as a stark reminder of the fragility of their existence within the temple’s relentless trials. Each decision Pat made, each move he calculated, held the potential to mean the difference between life and death. Keeping his wits about him became even more crucial as he navigated further into the unknown, where the shadows seemed to whisper danger at every turn.

With Matt’s memory etched in his mind, Pat pushed aside the haunting image of his fallen colleague and forged ahead. The weight of the mission, the legacy of the Black Ravens, and the lingering presence of death fueled his resolve. The temple tests were far from over, and Pat knew that only through unwavering focus and the sheer strength of his will could he hope to survive.

The audience watched in suspense as Pat effortlessly maneuvered through the temple’s treacherous obstacles. His every step seemed calculated, his instincts sharp, and the crowd couldn’t help but be captivated by his skill and grace under pressure. Pat was fast becoming an audience favorite, eliciting cheers and applause with each successful passage.

Within the temple, as Pat continued his journey, he stumbled upon a gruesome sight. The regurgitated remains of Matty the sexy wrestler, his singlet lay discarded, a gruesome testament to the giant snake that had devoured him.

Pat recognized the significance of this gruesome find, knowing that he was nearing the lair of the deadly serpent. His heart raced with a mixture of anticipation and caution, understanding the threat that awaited him in the creature’s domain.

While the audience fervently rooted for Pat’s success, unknown to them, King Cedric sat with a twisted smile playing upon his lips. He relished in the anticipation, fully aware of the dangers and perils that awaited Pat if he managed to reach the end of the temple. Each successful participant only heightened the king’s pleasure, as he derived a sinister satisfaction from witnessing these young men meet their demise.

Although the temple run appeared to be set up as mere entertainment, a cruel spectacle designed for the audience’s enjoyment, the reality was far darker. King Cedric’s sadistic enjoyment of seeing attractive young men lose their lives added a chilling undercurrent to the seemingly innocent competition. The allure of danger and the thirst for bloodshed drove the king’s twisted pleasure, hidden behind a facade of enthralled spectators unaware of the true depths of his malicious intentions.

Pat had been trudging through the temple for what felt like hours, battling peril after peril. He had narrowly escaped death several times, his quick thinking and agility saving him from the clutches of certain doom. Each near miss only served to increase the tension and excitement among the watching crowd.

But as Pat pressed forward, his weariness fading into determination, a glimmer of hope appeared before him. A sign with the words “Congratulations, you are near the exit” adorned the path, causing a smile to spread across Pat’s face. He felt a surge of pride, knowing that he was on the brink of becoming the first to escape the treacherous depths of the temple.

The crowd erupted into celebratory cheers, elated by the sight of Pat approaching the end. The energy in the room soared as they let their enthusiasm fill the air. However, as Pat continued his final steps, a deafening roar suddenly bellowed through the temple, extinguishing the premature celebrations.

Unknown to the majority, but known to a select few, King Cedric had stationed a menacing Minotaur at the end of the temple. It was a formidable creature, its visage striking fear into the hearts of anyone who dared to face it. A fearsome amalgamation of man and bull, the Minotaur possessed a shaggy bovine head, adorned with colossal, curving horns. Its muscular body was covered in coarse hair, and its long, sharp claws held the potential for brutal carnage.

King Cedric had placed the Minotaur as the ultimate test of strength and courage. He knew that this monstrous beast could easily dispatch any participant that reached the end of the temple, yet also understood that if anyone managed to defeat the Minotaur, they would truly be deserving of their freedom.

The Minotaur possessed an insatiable craving for human flesh, making it a relentless adversary. Its favored method of attack was a head-down charge, snorting and stamping with the force and determination of a raging bull. Should the Minotaur close the distance, its razor-sharp claws would slash and slice with deadly precision, inflicting grave wounds upon its foes.

As Pat stood, unaware of the monumental challenge that awaited him, the air tensed with anticipation. The cheering crowd fell into an anxious hush, their eyes fixed on the formidable Minotaur lurking just beyond Pat’s sight. The temple run, which had initially seemed like a mere game show, now revealed its true nature – a bloodthirsty arena where survival hung by a thread, and only the strongest would emerge victorious.

As the deafening roar shook the temple, Pat’s senses sharpened and his heart raced with trepidation. Moving with utmost caution, he treaded carefully, his every step deliberate and measured. The roar was now accompanied by another noise, one that grew louder and closer, intensifying Pat’s unease.

And then, through the dim light, Pat caught sight of the Minotaur – a colossal, monstrous creature that sent a shiver down his spine. The realization struck him like a weight, his heart sinking with the knowledge that he was now faced with an intense battle to escape the wrath of this ferocious beast.

Luckily, Pat’s quick thinking kicked in, and he recalled the arrow he had taken from Maxim’s lifeless body. The memory sparked determination within him. Seeking cover, Pat stealthily positioned himself, luring the Minotaur towards him, hoping to take advantage of its size and strength.

With bated breath, Pat crouched in his hiding place, adrenaline coursing through his veins. As the man-eating beast passed by, Pat burst forth, lunging with all his might, stabbing the Minotaur in the back with the arrow. The Minotaur let out a fierce roar, the sound echoing throughout the temple, as it turned, enraged, to confront its attacker.

Pat’s heart pounded in his chest as he faced the wrath of the charging Minotaur. The monstrous creature lowered its head, horns poised to strike, and charged mercilessly at Pat. A cry of pain escaped Pat’s lips as the Minotaur impaled him in the abdomen, leaving him gasping for breath.

Blood dripped ominously from one of the beast’s horns as Pat desperately clenched his wound, dropping to his knees in a mixture of agony and determination. He knew it was a battle against time, against the monstrous odds stacked against him.

But before Pat could gather his waning strength, the Minotaur struck again, swift and ruthless. With a sudden swipe of its claw, the beast sliced Pat’s throat, ending his struggle and silencing his cries.

Shock filled Pat’s face as he gurgled from the throat wound, betrayal and uncertainty etched upon his features. With a devastating finality, he fell backwards onto his knees, his body trembling in the grasp of death’s cold embrace.

In the wake of this tragic battle, the temple remained silent, the audience left in shock and disbelief, their momentary joy transformed into despair. The Minotaur stood victorious, a grim reminder of the treacherous world lurking behind the facade of entertainment, leaving a lingering question of what dark desires were truly at play within the heart of King Cedric.

The watching audience, who had been filled with anticipation and excitement, were now struck with shock and disbelief as they witnessed Pat’s brutal death. They sat in stunned silence, their faces frozen in horror and their hearts heavy with sorrow. The air in the temple grew heavy with the weight of the tragedy that had unfolded before their eyes.

In the midst of the horrified spectators, Pat’s family burst into inconsolable sobs. Their sorrow knew no bounds as they grappled with the unbearable pain of witnessing their loved one’s demise. Tears streamed down their faces, intermingling with anguish and disbelief, as they mourned the loss of a son, a brother, and a cherished member of their family.

Meanwhile, King Cedric, seated upon his throne, wore a twisted grin on his face. His eyes glinted with sadistic pleasure, reveling in the sight of Pat’s demise. The king’s excitement, fueled by a thirst for power and control, grew as he watched life slip away from a participant who had dared to challenge the depths of his temple.

As the audience sat transfixed in shock, their gazes were drawn to the Minotaur, who stood unfazed by the carnage it had wrought. The monstrous creature bent down, its predatory instincts taking hold, as it prepared to feast upon Pat’s lifeless body.

Grim fascination held everyone captive as they watched the Minotaur devour Pat’s remains. The beast tore into his flesh with primal ferocity, sharp teeth ripping through muscle and sinew. Blood stained its shaggy fur as it consumed every morsel, wasting nothing.

In the gruesome feast, the Minotaur exhibited its insatiable hunger, its jaws crunching bones and gulping down chunks of flesh. The macabre scene unfolded with horrid detail, as the once vibrant body of Pat was reduced to a meal for this remorseless creature.

The watching audience, filled with shock and sorrow, could hardly bear witness to such a grotesque display. Gasps and whispers filled the air as the reality of the horror that had unfolded settled upon them, forever etching the memory of Pat’s tragic demise within their minds.

In the aftermath of Pat’s tragic death in the temple run, the TV host, Carey Hazelness, now somberly discussed the devastating turn of events. Her voice carried a tone of disbelief and sadness as she recounted the horrors that had unfolded before their eyes.
