PART I:
The Annual Game
Chapter 1:
The Focus
W I N T E R
"NOCK!" I loaded my bow with an arrow and I stretched its string. I locked my sight to the redded-eye and let my whole world shrink as I lend my focus to my bow and arrow, and that carcass on the wooden wall.
"I want you to aim the eye!" Napasinghap ako nang hawakan niya ang braso ko at saka iningat pa, nanindig ang balahibo ko sa katawan dahil sa bahagyang tumama ang daliri niya sa 'king harapan.
Gayoon pa man, hindi ko iyon ipinakita dahil tiyak na sisigawan na naman ako nito kapag nakikitaan niyang nawawala ako sa atensyon. And with that, ipapasok na naman nila ako sa Xiphos Hazard Response Unit kapag nakaapekto ito throughout the Test.
Attention, great!
Iyan ang pinaka mahalaga rito. Mawala na ang iyong memorya mula sa'yong nakaraan, makalimutan mo man ang iyong sarili, mahilo, masaktan, mabaliw maapektuhan sa mga nakikita, or worst mamatay ka man sa tindi ng tensyon at daloy na tinatawag nilang Iluzie Optica ay patuloy pa ring isasaksak sa kukote mo na isang kang Draft.
Draft ng mga Fallen Keepers.
And a Draft like me? I scoffed—should've trained every aspect of the mind, reflecting the outer status of it together with its inner. At iyon ang pinaka mahirap, ang makipag buno sa kalooban mo, lalo na kapag may nakaraan kang iniwan.
You have to lend your focus to the field you have chosen, nothing more and nothing less, focusing your attention on other things especially beyond the parameters they have set for you, would be your demise.
Love has no place in their dictionary. Being a Draft, you have to know and to feel that once you've entered in this field, you've already given up your forbidden hormones.
What are those? Depomine, Serotonin, Oxytocin, and Vasopressin. Those are the forbidden hormones, it's a neurotransmitter hormone in which it chemically stimulates your desire and affection, triggering an intense rush for pleasure especially for your opposite sex. Hence, they wanted to stop you from forming another species that could destroy everything that they have started in which they are the one who has happened to destroy it in the first place.
Sex? If you're a Draft, tiyak na mamatay kang virgin.
Love has no place in their dictionary, aye, but not for me. And yes, sa araw, araw na pamamalagi ko rito sa Iluzia Corpului Simulation, hindi mawaglit sa dibdib ko ang kaba na baka isang araw during sa test ko ay malaman nilang hindi ako naapektuhan doon sa gamot, at wala ni-isa sa mga iyon ang nakapag paalis ng pagmamahal sa 'king puso—ang maawa, ang malungkot, ang pagnanasa, ang mangarap, at iba pang emosyon, ganoon narin ang mga alaalang bumuo, nagtayo at nagwasak sa aking kabuuan, ay nanatiling nagsasayaw sa 'king diwa at kaisipan.
Ako parin ito, ako parin itong si Winter Alyssa Mccarthy. Kilalang-kilala ko parin ang sarili habang ang iba ay wala na silang matandaan, maski ang kanilang mga pinagmulan o kahit man lang ang sariling pangalan.
