Chunin Exams, Forst of Death!

Durane walked into the forest of death expecting Suki to follow where he stopped under a tree.

Suki folowed Durane into 'The Forest of Death'."Any idea what the item would be Durane" she asked him.

"I don't know what the item will be but I think i'm starting to figure out the riddle.

The Sky Dark, The Ground Light Forever It will Remain in the Cold breath of Death.

The Sky dark must refer to night. Whilst the ground light refers to one spot in the dark where there is light, but that's as far as I've gotten. Got any ideas?"

"Well it's got something to do with Death. Maybe it's an dead animal but the body would be where the sky is Dark and the ground is light" Suki racked her brain for any information that would help her and Durane figure out this riddle.

"Dead animal...Or maybe a deadly one..." Durane thought about it a bit more. "Regardless of it's status, where do we look?" Durane asked." There has to be some where special in the forest where the light is on the ground while it's night time...But where? " Durane pondered his question in his mind a bit longer.

"Where could a place like that be?" Suki racked her brain again. "The ground light could be refering to a fire but the sky would be dark because it would be night?" Suki shrugged.

"But there's no natural way to make a fire, it would have to be forced, and if it were forced we could burn it anywhere..." Hmmm Durane thought to himself where can you find deadly creatures at night already, let alone have a way to make the ground light there...

"No fire isn't always forced it can happen naturally" Suki looked at Durane. "It could've happened recently and killed something or someone".

Have you seen or heard of any fires in this forest lately?

"No I haven't but still" Suki looked at her feet. "waht about a full moon?" It could light the ground" Suki looked up at Durane.

" Of course! Nice work. " Durane complimented but on the inside he was feeling a little bummed, how could he have not thought of it first was the pressure of the clan getting to him? " But where would the full moon light up? "

"Hmmm. we'll have to look for an open area but the moon will have to be above it for it to fully light tha ground" Suki smiled.

"Hmm... But wouldn't it light multiple areas?" Durane thought to himself... " Where do you think would the moon shine the most Suki?"

"Well there's a tower in the middle why don't we try there?" Suki asked Durane. "It would shine the brightest at the top of the tower" Suki said confidently.

" Good thinking " Durane complimented. Then he started walking towards the tower. " It's in the middle of the forest right? " Hmm I wonder what trouble will be there? Surely they can't expect us to fighting somthing on there... Can they? Hmmm.

"Other teams are after the same item though" Suki folowed Durane through the damp forest. "Who knows they may already be there"

"Maybe." Durane admitted "But unlikely we only just sat down ten minutes ago and already found out where it is by sheer brain power alone. It is unlikely that there is a team out there that is not only as smart as us, but faster, and at the same time has the same clue we have. But we shouldn't get cocky your right, if they'res a chance they're there we should probabally make haste." With that line finished Durane running with the pace of a jog but still using the speed he would use if he was running. "Tell me if you need a break" Durane said almost as a yell, just in case Suki hadn't started running when he had.

Suki was running next to Durane "I won't need a break anytime soon" She smiled as she started to run a bit faster than Durane "See if you can catch up to me!" Suki laughed.

"Heh alright, but try not to get too exhausted..." Durane started to go just a bit faster then Suki "Don't waste your energy too much though, one of my specialtys is speed." Durane looked up the tower... Could that really be it?

"One of my speciality's is Stamina" Suki was just behind Durane when she looked up at the tower. "Wow it's huge" She exclaimed.
