DJ: Nyx, primarily, is a jungle. For centuries, wala pang taong nakakapunta dun. All we know about that place is based on hearsays. But with the recent technologies now, hindi na nakakapagtaka na kaya nilang i-manipulate ang buong lugar. And if you will try to look closely on the map, napapalibutan ang buong Nyx ng maluwang na ilog…. And on the farthest edge, there are series of mountains… Anywhere could be the finish line… So you have to rely on clues…

Tumingin muna ito sa kanya.

DJ: But I may have one clue to share. The weather will always be your basis. The colder it gets, the nearer you are towards the finish line.

Napakunot naman siya.

Kathryn: At paano mo naman nalaman ang bagay na ‘yon?

DJ: May ilang libro akong nabasa. Hindi sinabi ng diretsahan. But it was implied.

Kathryn: There are books in the palace library talking about the past tournaments?

DJ: I told you that it was implied. I just got the hint. And besides, wala sa library ang dalawang libro na ‘yon. I got it from my dad’s office.

Kathryn: Okay, so at least I have one clue, right?

Tumango ito.

DJ: It is just one clue. But I have this feeling that it’s one of the most important clues. At ‘yon lang ang dapat mong malaman. Mas maganda kung magtitiwala ka na lang sa instincts mo. And besides, mas magiging realistic ang mga galaw mo.

Kathryn: B-Bakit may idea ka ba kung nasaan ang finish line?

DJ: Like I’ve said mas maganda kung magtitiwala ka pa rin sa instincts mo. Things could change. And the best way is to always rely on your instincts… Okay?

Hindi muna siya sumagot at tumitig muna dito… He clears his throat…

DJ: Uhmmm… You know, I get easily distracted if you’re looking at me like that, right?…

He smiles. Then, winks. Inikot naman niya ang mga mata sa ginawa nito…

Katsumi: Dude, pwede ba itigil mo muna pagpapa-cute jan? I’m a guy, you know. It’s just awkward…

DJ: You’re just jealous…

Katsumi: Yeah, right… Whatever…

Bago pa humaba ang pagtatalo ng dalawa ay sumabad na siya.

Kathryn: Stop it, guys… We’re seriously discussing the plan here, okay?… Let’s just focus…

Agad naman nagbalik sa pagiging seryoso ang mga ito.

DJ: Okay… So, like I’ve said there will be traps… Kaya mas makakabuti kung hindi ka magmamadali… Just take your time…

Katsumi: Tama siya, Kath. Maraming traps ang ilalapit sa ‘yo. So you need to be very careful…

DJ: If it’s possible, you can just walk. Kahit na nagmamadali sila… just walk, and be more observant…
