2046: Hjaltaer's story

The Games Keeper

Hjaltaer awoken as the lights brightened.

"Good Morning Hjaltaer" A female voice beckoned as he pulled himself off of his bed "What is the time Veronica?" Hjaltaer asked as he stood up slowly. "It is currently 06:00, and you are late for preparation as it's the Games tonight" Veronica reminded him.
Hjaltaer got dressed in his black leather overcoat, Black long sleeved shirt and his Black cargo pants.
Hjaltaer looked himself over twice and sighed as he left his dorm room noticing his Friend had left already.

"The Game will be tonight at 21:00" a male voice said over the speakers as Hjaltaer walked towards the canteen, he noticed a strange echo bouncing off of the walls as he walked. "run" he heard. Looking behind himself he noticed a child standing there frightened and crying "must be the voices and Hallucinations" Hjaltaer thought to himself as he ignored it and walked into the canteen.

"Hey! Hjal, Catch" a woman said when she threw an apple at Hjaltaer, catching it almost instantly Hjaltaer bit into the apple as he walked over to the group of teenagers "Hey Offa, how are you?" He asked as the group looked up at him
"I'm good thanks, you woke up pretty late for your usual" She replied with a soft and kind tone. "The group are excited for the Game, they're betting that you're going to be the new Games Keeper" Hjaltaer scoffed and laughed as he walked over to the food printer "I absolutely loathe this food" Hjaltaer said under his breath as the machine printed out his food, "I hope Terra becomes safe to farm on soon" He continued.
Picking up his food, Hjaltaer walked over to a empty table and sat down. Everyone stood up straight as fast as a bullet when a tall man walked in although Hjaltaer stayed sitting down and eating his food. Everyone sat down and continued on although they kept an eye on the man as he walked over to Hjaltaer. Stamping his foot into the ground and throwing Hjaltaer's food onto the ground he barked at Hjaltaer "PICK UP YOUR FOOD MUTT, NOW!!"
Hjaltaer stayed there.
"DID YOU NOT HEAR ME?! PICK UP YOUR MESS!" He screamed into Hjaltaer's ear.
Hjaltaer smiled and stood up slowly
"Sit down now child" Hjaltaer whispered slowly and clearly. The man looked at Hjaltaer and sat down into the food
"Good Mutt" Hjaltaer whispered as he walked out of the canteen, leaving everyone shocked and in awe.

"What was that?" Shadow asked as he looked at the man" He dominated the general's son" Shadow continued. The group looked at shadow and a tall man stood up with his food "well, whatever happened, I'm going to check on our leader" Constantine said as he left and put his tray into the holder. "I'm going to follow and see what's wrong" Atoc and Rhysa said at the same time.
" well make sure he can tell you two apart then!" Shadow jokes as they walked off with Constantine.

"Geez I hope he's okay. He's got to be the Games Keeper tonight" Offa said as she spat down onto the General's son and left for the armoury.
