《Dependence - Book Two (Wattys 2013 Finalist)》Capitol Update: The Arena - Day Three
Advertisement
Piper Papillon’s POV:
‘’ Hello Panem! Day three of this year’s Hunger Games has sadly drawn to a close and wow! What an exciting day! Today saw the blood rain attraction hit the arena, and may I just say it was fantastic! Ten and a half hours of blood! Wow!
I think I can speak for all of us when I say today exceeded our expectations! Another two pairs of tributes went down today, and may I just add in the most spectacular ways possible! It was definitely a shock to see Ravina go, I honestly thought Echo was doomed. She was too tired after the swim with Osmo from the lighthouse to fight Ravina off.
She’s very lucky Gauze arrived when he did! I felt it was quite nice of them to shoot Adaline, they managed to kill her painlessly and quickly to spare her dying from the collar.
Gauze and Bliss have now paired with Echo and Osmo, and are now the biggest group of tributes left in the arena. I have high hopes for them and mark my words, I think they will go far! The real question is if it did come down to them in the end, who would win? Echo is weapon-less now that her bow is gone, but I can’t see Gauze killer her. It will be exciting!
The next deaths were Ellie and Caspian, which – if I admit – is quite unexpected. Min and Stitch managed to come across Ellie alone, and took great advantage of their situation. They managed to drag Ellie from her group, taking her outside the range of the collars so they would detonate. It also meant that Ellie could say goodbye to her brother, and likewise with Caspian and Lilly. I’m not going to lie, that was quite emotional!

So with day three drawn to a close, just ten tributes remain. Tomorrow is another day, with plenty of surprises in store for our tributes. They will be facing the third and final special attraction, voted for by you, the citizens of Panem. Like you all know, special attraction number three is the coma. One member of each pairing will fall into a deep sleep and their partner will have to rescue them or else they will be joining our fallen tributes.
Finally, the most important piece of news for you all. You will be voting for which tributes fall under the influence of the coma poison. So please, get voting! Send us in the names of the tributes you want to see fall into the coma as we will be taking your opinion into great account!
That’s all I have for you all for now, so until tomorrow, I’m Piper Papillon and that was you’re Capitol Update!’’

Tales of the Dragon God
Synopsis: House Vjorn is one of the founding Houses of the City of Trênt - The Final Frontier of North. Skye, the heir of the House lived a sheltered life until one day everything changed. He was fated by the dragons, a fate that only occurs once in a millenia and rivals the mythical creatures themselves. But the constant threats of a shadow organization that hunts people like him forces him on a long and arduous journey . Assasination, wide scale war, fights to the death, battle of wits, legendary duels and more await him on his travels as he tries to reach the pinnacle of existence. Let the Tales of the Dragon God begin- Prolouge: A dragon spanned his wings in full length furiously to propel himself further. Faster, he needs to be faster. A glowing black ring with runes etched in golden light appeared and hovered through his back as if a halo of an angel."Curse of Speed" he muttered under his breath and he zoomed through the horizon in a fashion no other dragons may dream of. "I need more speed or that damned thing might catch up to-" he said with a loud growl but before he could finish he saw a golden ring flash by only to stop at a few feet in front of him. A boy with black hair stood in front of him. Darkness enveloped his whole body, while the robes he was wearing was somewhat darker than the darkness. It was like he was staring to an abyss only to be swallowed by a void, an endless one at that. The only tinge of light came from the golden ring above his head. He looked at his face but he can't see any features that he could describe. Then his eyes wandered at the golden ring above his head. His sky-blue draconic eyes glowed with a golden hue. Looking closer, the ring was actually a crown embroided in sophisticated runes that even him a hundred thousand year old dragon cannot comprehend. "A million year old ring. It can't be that you killed-" but again, before he could finish dark ice formed in his snout gently crawling to his eyes. He retaliated by breathing his icy breath but even the absolute ice was frozen by the abyss black ice magic that was crawling through his body. And like the color of ice, darkness came upon him to never awake an eternal slumber. Death took over and a golden ring etched with black colored runes hovered above his corpse. Author's note: Hi!
