《Demugad In The Battee of Blood》The Name's VALDEZ, LEO VALDEZ
Advertisement
The crowd was slow, everyone was fidgety and wanting to code or wire something new. Was moving the whole time waiting for the thing to start. Standing there I made a flying contraption out of paper from my pocket. It could fly on its own and kind of looked like a small version of Festus. I start looking around to see who was in the crowds, Hestia was in the female tributes crowd disguised as a twelve year old. Then Ariadne was in the adults crowd looking worried. I wonder if Dionysus had a half blood that they took care of in this crowd, or maybe she was just playing the part. Maybe she was concerned about me, doubtful though, I'm always the forgotten one. Then I start looking again, anywhere, for a possible god or goddess.
I see a man on the stage that was obviously from a different place than everyone else. He gets our attention, says his name (it's Julius) and puts on a small documentary. It wasn't as boring as feared but I still got sidetracked easily.
"Now time to choose the female tribute." Julius sticks his hand into the bowl on my right and plucks a paper from the middle of the bowl. "The female tribute is Electra..." I tune out before he finishes. A girl about 13 by her looks with light brown hair walks hesitantly out of the crowd. Julius waves her to come on and get closer. "Now, let's get onto our male tribute." I start to get anxious and start to doubt my decision to volunteer. I see that Julius plucked a name straight from the top the time. "The male tribute is By-"
"I.... I volunteer as tribute." I blurt out, was this rude to not let him finish? His face distorts in surprise, obviously his first time seeing a volunteer live. I start to leave slowly, the crowd parts around me, some more eager to than others. I get to the walkway and start to panic. What did I just do... Reyna would have been mad if I didn't follow the plan.

"Hello young man, hat is your name." He says, I want to say something snarky, just because I knew this girl beside me was doomed.
"The name's Valdez, Leo Valdez." James Bond? Really that's all I could come up with... ok well I guess I'm ready to die.

The Kodoku Game
In Japanese folklore, there once existed an ancient technique among alchemists for harvesting the strongest poison known to man. A poison so vicious, so horrendous, that a single drop could incapacitate an entire nation of humans, several times over. A poison so intense that a single drop could turn the tides of a war on its head. As potent as it appeared however, this poison could be harvested from the blood of a single insect alone- an insect the alchemist’s called the ‘Kodoku’. As lucrative as was attaining this poison however, the problem lied in identifying this insect- its appearance, shape and size changed from region to region and from continent to continent. Sometimes it took the appearance of a ladybug and other times a horned-beetle. In order to determine the identity of this special insect the alchemists came up with an ingenious method. They created an impregnable jar of clay out of the best sandstone they could find and placed hundreds of different insects into the same jar. The jar was made with such great mastery that it allowed no insects to escape and allowed no objects to enter. The laws of nature dictated that the insects would remain together in the jar forever. However, it turned out that as time went on, the insects’ hunger for food and power caused them to turn against each other- one insect ate another until only one remained. This sole insect contained a poison that far surpassed that of all the others and became stronger as it ate more and more insects. The alchemists at this point had succeeded in identifying the Kodoku and could extract it’s poison as long as they continued to feed it regularly. Although this folklore ends here, the actual story does not. One day, as the alchemists cheered in joy of having identified the Kodoku they so eagerly wanted, they forgot to close the lid on the very jar that was considered to be completely impregnable. This small gap was just large enough for the Kodoku inside to crawl out. Famished from not having been fed for weeks, the Kodoku ended up eating the very alchemists that nourished its growth until not even the bones remained. Yet, the Kodoku’s hunger didn’t seem to subside in the slightest. So it traveled to the next village and began eating whatever it could find there. Its poison made it unparalleled in strength and slowly but surely it began to dwindle down the population of the entire city. Yet its hunger only continued to grow. So it traveled to the next city over and ate all it could there. Very soon, the Kodoku couldn’t find any more food to eat. There was no one left to eat and no one left to spectate. So it stood there, by itself pondering what possibly was left to eat that could satiate its hunger. But there was one thing left that Kodoku realized it had never eaten. Itself.
