Carter listened carefully as Ani knelt with them and explained the upcoming challenge. He spoke in English while the other elders addressed the larger group in Nukula.

“The next phase of Raku Nau is beginning. You will choose a tree, in the order that you have arrived,” he said. “Each one will hold the basket’s cord over your head. If your arm drops, the cord will tear the weave and release the atzo inside.”

“Atzo?” Jane asked.

“Blue paint,” Ani said. “It signifies death. The end of Raku Nau. Red is the fire that began it. Blue is the color that ends it.”

“That’s it?” Carter asked, looking at the prepared trees around them. “That doesn’t sound so hard.”

“No. It is very simple,” Ani said. “The question is, how long can you do this very simple thing? It is a test of the body, and of the mind.”

“You said five people won’t continue?” Vanessa asked.

“That’s correct,” Ani said.

Carter took a deep breath. Chizo would just love it if he blew this now. He had to focus. And he had to be strong, for himself, but also to help keep the others going.

“So we just have to last longer than five of them,” he said. “We can do this, you guys.”

“We have to,” Jane said.

And, of course, she was right. He just hoped they could pull this off. Because if not, it would all end right here.
