This is a lot of crap, I'm sooo sorry. I just... idk ok i just sort of wrote this without going back to change it. so everything is a one shot  "Picture this. 

A knife.

A dark room.

And fireball in your hand.

There's a monster chained on the other side of the room who is about to be released to feast on your flesh in ten seconds. The fireball in your hand is going to go out in five seconds, half the time that the monster is going to charge and then crunch your bones. The monster is immune to everything except one of the three: knife, dark room, fireball. You have ten seconds to figure it out. Now I suggest you take my words seriously, since your about to take this test right now." 

Lupa stands in front of a dark tunnel leading away into the crumbling earth, eerie sounds echo from inside and once in awhile a guttural scream can be picked up from the depths of the strange hole. The wolf goddess lashes her tail quickly as she growls at one of the demigod daughters of Venus who has been giggling with her group of friends. "Conquer or die." She says in a low rasping voice. "That is my way. If you do not conquer this task, Daughter of Venus, then do not expect to come out of that tunnel alive." 

The girl, Tristan, widens her hazel eyes. "Um...y-yes Lupa." She looked frightened, but muttered something to her friends. She walked to the other side, glaring at one of them as they giggled.

”Good. You won’t mind going first then, daughter of Venus?” She asked a question, but it wasn’t one. Tristan nodded, handing her dagger to the she-wolf. A tear trickled down her face, and Lupa whispered something to her. Tristan smiled, then laughed, but her face turned solemn as she walked in. We heard a scream, then Lupa rushed in. We had held in our breathes, but they were released as Lupa walked out without blood on her fur.

The next few weren’t as lucky, their bodies being dragged out with Lupa. Then it was my turn. I walked in, and held the fireball. I heard a go! in the distance.

I threw the fireball at the monster, then picked up the knife and threw that too. Then it was pure darkness. I waited a few seconds until Lupa came in. She turned on some sort of light, before turning to me. “Look what you have done, and determine your punishment” she glared, before walking out. There was a young girl, her face pale. I looked at her, pain in her eyes. There was golden dust on her, and the ground which was covered in blood.

”Tell my sister.” She coughed, blood coming out of her throat. “To shut up and drive.” She had scorch marks on her side, and a steaming gloop on the floor. I looked at her, and realised who she was. The other child of Venus, so that meant Tristan was her sister. The only one with a drink bottle. I nodded, and repeated what we all did to those who had… kicked the bucket.

”The wounded are never forgotten.” I said, not even remembering her name as chains wrapped around her wrists and ankles, her lifeless body hanging limply.
