Not many tributes had died, maybe one here and two there. There were ten dead in all so far, leaving fourteen left to play.
The day was calm and peaceful, like always. They had extended on their house and even made a barn for their livestock and a few horses they found. Coraline was swimming in the ocean in front of their house, it had been a somewhat slow process, but she was getting better with her english which meant it wasn't as broken, much to everyone's relief.
Coraline suddenly perked up, something felt off then she saw it in the distance, something. . .red and orange? She started screaming in Inkling not really sure on what all to say at the moment. She crawled out of the water and took a few steps towards the color, it felt super warm over there.
A ball of fire suddenly whizzed by Coraline's face and the inkling jumped out of the way in time to avoid it. Coraline pulled herself up and started running towards Tenacity and Akane as a wall of fire started to pursue her.
Coraline was trying her best to be an easy passenger, but she continued to feel herself slipping from Tenacity's grasp.
Suddenly there was a hiss shortly followed by a fireball that whizzed by their heads making Tenacity jump, missing them by mere centimeters. It crashed into a tree nearby and the poor tree was engulfed. It was clear the fire walls were to get them moving, now the fun was just starting. And the only way to survive was to keep moving.
When she takes flight into the air the first thing she notices is the fact that there wasn't an enemy. In fact, the fire that appeared, was too organized to be natural. This was the work of the Gamemakers.
"Tch, like a bit of fire is enough to take us down!" Kayda mutters. She splits off into multiple different flocks of mockingbirds to ensure that she can't die from one attack... Just in case. "Come on, aim for me, blah blah blah, they can't hear me anyway so insert aggregating quote here." Kayda mumbles as she swoops around. Occasionally diving close to the flames only to come out unscathed. Their best chance of survival hung on a distraction, hopefully the Gamemakers took the bait.
Ba-dum
"Are you....
Ba-dum
Are you....
Ba-dum
Coming to the tree?
Ba-dum
A might-y strong oak...
Ba-dum
Fallen in the reeds...
Ba-dum
Strange winds did blow through here...
Ba-dum
And tipped the brothers three...
Ba-dum
Let's meet, at mid-night at the fallen three..."
Ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum...
His voice raised above the flames, calling out to the Gamemakers. Let my people go, as Moses cried to the Pharaoh.
"Are you, are you, coming to the trees?
The trip-let of oaks, hidden in the reeds.
Strange winds did blow through here,
And brothers are the three.
Let's meet- At mid-night at the fallen three.
Are you, are you, coming to the tree?
Where they strung up a man,
They say who murdered three.
Strange things have happened here, no stranger would it be-
If we met- At mid-night at the Hanging Tree."
He knew not why he sang as he did, he only knew that he had to run. He knew only that he had to believe in his legs, in his strength. His voice fed his might, his might carried him faster
"Kayda!" Akane wrestled from Tenacity's grasp and ran to her. "You okay?"
Tenacity
Coraline buried her face into Tenacity's jacket to avoid watching the incoming fireballs turn her into fried squid, but a loud BANG! made her and Tenacity look up. Akane was on her feet using every ounce of energy she had to keep the barage of fireballs from killing them at bay with a orange dome shield. It was clear she was straining, between the narrowed eyes and grit teeth and the slight trembling of arms from the effort.
