《Do you want to play a game?》XXII
Advertisement
The classy music started playing again. I guess every time they want everyone's attention, they'll play it. I shrugged my shoulders and shifted my attention to the guards, who were positioned as normal.
"Attention. The second game will begin shortly. Please follow the staffs instructions and swiftly make you way towards the game hall. I will now repeat the instructions. " said the woman. She repeat the rules again and didn't say anything else. I, who was already finished eating, watched as the others scrambled to finish their meals before the game starts. We lined up for the second time today and we were escorted up the colourful stair way and into the game room.
The door opened and revealed a play set. But, like a really big one! I had a climbing frame, a slide and a set of swings. The walls were coloured a baby blue colour with clouds all over them. The floor was sand. All were brightly coloured. There was a few minutes of silence and I decided that I was gonna find 067. I found her easily enough so I stood next to her.
"Players, welcome to the second game. We will begin shortly."
"What game do you think we're gonna play?" I asked as I turned to face 067.
"No idea. But I think it's something to do with something sweet," she said and that's when we spotted 4 doors at the opposite end of the room. There was a shape on each which were triangle, circle, star and umbrella.
"Players, before the second game begins, choose one of the four available shapes you see on the wall. Once you've chosen your shapes, please stand in frount of it," spoke the PA woman.
We nodded at each other and I walked to the right with 067 next to me. I decided that I would stand infrount of the door with the umbrella. 067 looked at me and decided that she wanted the star. I smiled at her and watched as the guards weeled a trolley each out of a door. Each of the trolleys were stacked with small circular tins.

"The time to select your shape has ended. I will now explain the rules of the next game," said the woman, while the guards lined up in between us (who were also in lines) so that we were unable to switch shapes.
"All players, please take one case each from the table at the frount of your line."
I received my tin and went to sit at the top of the slide. One of the guards followed me to the top, watching ne like a hawk. Later, a man came up aswell, also with a guard.
"Please take a moment to open the case and check the contents."
I gently pulled the lid off and my heart fell.
"The second game is sugar honeycombs. The shape you have chosen is the shape you must remove from the honeycomb. The time limit is 10 minutes."

Armored
600 years have passed since the fall of civilization. The earth went through massive changes and core beasts now reign supreme. All that still exists of mankind are ruins and a scattering of walled cities. Festering pits of the worst humanity has to offer, protected by "knights" clad in a mech-like technology called armor. Nobles rule over everyone, little more than warlords. The middle class wants to make a buck and become nobles. And the rats want to survive. But everyone wants a piece of the ancient technology lost to mankind hundreds of years ago. Find one piece and it could change your life forever. For better or worse. This is my second attempt at a story. I haven't been writing for more than 3 or 4 months all combined. I hope to improve as I go. This is first and foremost a learning experience for me.

Nothing good.On her way home from a summer of trading, Olivia didn't want to hire a cursed werewolf as an escort, but he was the only one willing to guide her over the treacherous Navier mountains. Not only do they have to contend with bandits and dangerous animals lurking among the trees, but they also have to dodge unscrupulous war parties who are determined to track them down.They forgot one thing though - curses don't play by the rules.----------------Please note that this is NOT a love-at-first-sight or matebond werewolf style of book, nor does it have werewolf ranks like Alphas, Betas, or Omegas. This book isn't a horror story. It's more of a fantasy-adventure theme.This book has nothing in common with my other werewolf stories.New chapter will be posted every Tuesday at 8AM MST!
