《Bastion Of Heroes》Chapter 8
Advertisement
Like a rabbit in the woods, Seth jumped from rooftop to rooftop as he made his way towards a certain area. The houses in his neighborhood were all two to three stories so Seth didn’t have to spend too much effort as he moved past each house. He tried to keep his movement as quiet as possible in order to not disturb the people living in the houses he passed. More so than anything, the idea of moving as silently as possible was engrained into him by his master than actually caring about his surroundings. Currently, Seth didn’t have to worry too much about walking bystanders since most would never imagine someone running on rooftops.
Seth’s current destination was a building looming in the distance in the abandoned district. The abandon district has earned its name due to the number of deserted buildings in the area. It was once a thriving area, but for some odd reason businesses in this area began to fail. Most companies and stores moved out in hopes of making fortune elsewhere, leaving only empty buildings behind. Some brave companies had tried to move into the abandon district before to test their luck, but their ventures never went far. Therefore, businesses stopped investing into the area and the nickname the abandon district stuck.
At the pace that Seth was running, it had only taken him 10 minutes before his destination laid right in front of him. An abandoned office building, one of the many in this district. Seth jumped across the street and grabbed onto a 4th floor window still and then launched himself to the roof.
Seth landed himself on to the open roof a light thud. There were already a few people there, each wearing a mask of their own. A few took a curious glance at him before returning their gaze at a connected building with the roof that was one floor lower than the current one they were standing on.

Seth walked over to the opposite end of the roof to view the scene that everyone else was interested in. The roof below them was open and flat. However, there was 5 drones hovering above it. The drones had 4 helicopter blades spinning to keep it afloat. Four of the drones had cameras attached along with lights shining on the roof. The fifth drone was hovering above the rest, carrying a small speaker below it while holding a digital clock on top stating 10:58
Seth observed the other people around. The mask of each person was different, Some mask were the shapeof animals such as horse or a dog, while others wore simple face mask that only covered their mouth. There were a few who wore mask of famous celebrities or cartoon figures.
A few of the people in the crowd were chatting with each other. Some were prdeciting how the night would go. Others were asking what bets were made and how much was put in. However, majority of the people kept to themselves as they were waiting for the main event.
Seth looked downward on the empty scenery before him. He was waiting for the clock to hit 11. That was when the entertainment was going to began.
10:59
The voices slowly died down as the clock began to inch closer to 11. When the clock showed 11, a voice boomed out from the speakers.
“WELCOME ONE AND ALL! YOU KNOW WHY YOU’RE HERE, I KNOW WHY I’M HERE, SO LET’S NOT WASTE ANY TIME! WELCOME TO THE ROOFTOP CHALLENAGE!”
“If you’re here then you know the rules, but for first time viewers I'll explain the rules for their benefit. ONE! All fights are unofficial! That means all combatants participate at their own risk! “

Bone And Amber: The Inside Story On The Return Of The Dinosaurs
A miracle has been achieved: non-avian, Mesozoic dinosaurs have been brought back to life - not by a technical university or a government programme, but by a venture capitalist concern, for reasons of profit. The social, economic, and political ripples of this development will do much more than enable the simple launch of a theme park for the rich: they will change the world. FAQ: Do I need to know anything about the Jurassic Park franchise to enjoy this? No. This story is not exactly a Jurassic Park fanfic - it is a story about the de-extinction of Mesozoic dinosaurs. While the story begins with some of the events depicted in the Jurassic Park universe, it is very much its own creature, and designed for readers with no prior knowledge of the franchise. It will begin to diverge quite quickly, as well: the dramatic focus will not be on people running around tropical islands trying to be eaten. The whole point of the exercise is to explore the profound consequences and ripples an event like the mass-cloning of extinct animals would generate.Do I need to know anything about dinosaurs to enjoy this? Also no! Sensing a theme yet? Although, if I’ve done my homework correctly, a newbie to the subject will be able to pick up something - not just about the animals themselves, but about their role as a vehicle to better understand the history of life on Earth, and the application of the scientific method to a sadly fragmentary puzzle.Without further ado, please enjoy!
