Koma Inu's S Class Trials Part Three: Dakota vs. Umi

There is a light breeze passing by the area, and the air feels nothing like the heaviness the two previous trials had. Dakota approaches the wide area given up to the trials, and all the shifting sand she's ever walked across does not compare to what she sees ahead of her. It's almost like the sand is alive, slipping down into the center of the sand pit. She remembers momentarily of when she would catch ants and put them into the lion ants traps, and maybe that wasn't such a good idea because now she's afraid to approach the sand. She reaches up to her face, giving herself a quick slap on both of her cheeks. There is no crazy huge lion ant at the bottom of this quicksand, Dakota quit being a wimp. She tells herself, and then walks as close to the edge as she can, but still not touching the outer edge.
