Author Games: The Last Cannon

TASK SEVEN: Into Our Woods/QF

Puzzle stands on the outer rim of the Gamemakers circle, clutching tightly to the railings as her anxiety takes flight. A few minutes later she bows her head and heaves a heavy sigh.

It was close, but still under the thick fog of burning ash and smoke, their bodies are identified.

District 5 Female - PETRA CALYPSO - bestsayings

District 5 Female - TARA STOLTMAN - EverydayAkwardness

District 6 Male - LIONEL ASTON - forever-unfulfilled

District 6 Female - GEORGINA TRAINE- MockingjayDivergence

District 7 Male - HYUNSHIK PARK - ElfOfResilience

District 11 Female - MIRIAM ROWEN - MagmaKepner [5]

District 12 Female - MINNIE HOWL - TheFactionless

"Don't feel bad!" Athena chirps, happy that her boys made it out alive... though barely. "There's always next year!"

Somehow Athena's words don't strike much comfort within Puzzle. Every year she roots for the outlining District and even with twice the amount of Tributes, the closest District to an outline is District Seven.

Aurelius smirks and moves away from the Gamemaking panel. The death toll was satisfactory enough for his liking. He turns to Malum, who has started to become a lot more active than usual. The older man looks at the large screen and watches each tribute recover from their wounds. The blast of the volcano destroyed so much that now it's anyones game. After a short while, the tributes begin to move away from the seeping lava, and take refuge at the cornucopia or in the depths of the jungle. 

"Let it rain." Malum says and nods politely. 

"Yes, sir." A man confirms and double taps the screen before him. Soon, a light downpour thickens and fills the arena with drinkable water. A nuisance to some, but sure to be a blessing to these last few survivors.

"What next?" Athena grins with excitement at the experienced Head Gamemaker. Verbally, he ignores her. And instead answers her question by sliding a red book out of his pocket. He looks back at the screen and frowns.

"I think it's time we gave our brave warriors a little rest."
