《Clato》chapter twenty-nine

Clyde got up and begun hopping on certain spots until he reached the safety of the cornucopia. "There are areas where you put your feet," Clyde explained to them. "You can see the patches where you have to jump."
Clove followed him, being extra careful. When she made it, she grabbed a packet of chips. She had been craving them ever since they had left. She hopped back.
"Who wants a snack?" She opened the packet and sat down, relaxing.
Cato shook his head. "I'm okay," he answered and sighed.
Marvel sat up. "Hey! Look!" He said, pointing at a long column of grey smoke coming from the forest.
Clove looked up. Now, that was more like a campfire. She thought that there must be one hell of a dumb tribute out there. She got up, stuffing her mouth with chips.
Cato was a bit tired, but he got up anyway and grabbed a weapon.
Clove made sure all her knives were in place. Marvel grabbed a spear.
Cato set off towards the smoke, yelling "Take care of the supplies!" to Clyde as he went.

Clyde was sitting down, he had a spear in his hands, waiting boredly.
Clove and Marvel followed Cato. They didn't see anyone else for about a mile.
There was a loud explosion.
Cato paused, listening, he was a bit dumbstruck for a moment. Then realised what caused that sound. He begun backpedaling, running back to the cornucopia.
"Find who lit the fire!" Clove yelled to Marvel as she took off after Cato. Clyde was going to pay for this.
Cato came raging onto the plain.
Bits of burnt debris littered down. His jaw dropped, the containers, burnt items were everywhere.
Clove screamed in anger.
"What the hell happened?!" Cato shouted furiously, approaching Clyde.

Clyde was backing away slowly.
"I-I don't know. Honest." Clyde stuttered, beginning to move faster.
Cato grabbed the boy in a chokehold, with a small twist to his head he was gone. Cato let the boy's limp body fall to the ground as the cannon went off.
* * *
"What the hell do we do now?" Clove asked, wishing she had killed Clyde when she was throwing her knives. "There's nothing left!"
Cato kicked a container.
He heard a cannon and looked up. "Wonder who that was."
A second cannon followed.
"Marvel might've found someone..." Clove trailed off. "We'll find out tonight, I guess."
Cato sighed. "It might be just the two of us.."
Clove looked at the ground. She began to get nervous. They were alone. She walked up to Cato and hugged him. Surely the Capitol would be fine with the district partners hugging.
Cato hugged her gently, a bit worried.
"Whoever blew it up must have thought of that," Cato frowned.
Clove looked around. It was going to get dark soon. "Maybe we could hunt animals?" She suggested.
"Yeah, we will." Cato murmured and looked around. "We need a new camp."

Tellus Stirs (Previously Earth AA)
The year is 2030. Earth is dying. War, pandemics, overwhelming pollution, species going extinct, climate change, etc. The so-called human race has brought more harm to their planet due to greed; their increased energy needs were on a path of decadence even with their increased technological advancements. Tactical Nukes were already used in conflicted zones in the fight for resources. The conclusion was a deep and frightening hum unleashed deep within the earth, heard by every living creature, and with it, civilization has ended. Those who survived wished they were slain along with their loved ones as the dead didn't have to endure what came after. Others took the opportunity to gain unimaginable power and prestige as a new age began. Chaos reigned as per the prophecies foretold in the past. Those who did not believe knew the signs were actual; these prophecies were no longer popular folk tales. Such titles, the Breaking, the Rapture, the Malhama, and many others, came at a high cost. After all, every city or densely populated area had been hit with natural disasters that encompassed tsunamis, Earthquakes, Firestorms, Typhoons, and hurricanes. Power, food, infrastructure. All of it was gone and what came after was worse as humans were no longer top of the food chain. Yet the imminent destruction of the 21st century re-opened a veil that had kept the world safe from hidden dangers, or maybe it was the other way around. Time will tell. In our story, the Protagonist rises from the ashes of the apocalypse. A desert child soldier nurtured by tragedy and death looking for an escape to fill the void in his heart. By chance, in his hand, he held a blade with immense possibilities.
