"Just know this: once we start, there's no turning back. The path we're on is paved with blood and fire. Are you ready for that?" "I've been ready for a long time" Quelkin replies, trying to ignore the immense pain in both his shoulder and back. 13 hours ago, Lotus Blossom said: She wielded the shardblade across Quelkin's torso, assisting Tondon in this attack. Quelkin jumps into the air trying to evade the blade but feels his legs go limp beneath him. He sees himself get closer to the ground but can't feel himself land. "No!" he shouts as realization of what just happened comes upon him. He reaches around himself on the ground until he finds a stick to wield against his opponents. One last hope he thinks as he raises his stick, knowing full well that it will do little against the axes, daggers, and sharblades being wielded against him. @Dragonheir @LightRinger @RoyalBeeMage @The Stormfather @Lotus Blossom Quote If I do die, which it seems very likely I would love to become some kind of monster @Edema Rue 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougella, HG Arena Dougella glances at the beast tears streaming down her face. Why? she thinks looking at the beautiful creature that lay beside her. "I..I..am so sorry" she chokes out, gripping the dagger and bringing it closer to the beast. The dagger quivers in her hand, almost sensing her uneasiness, and lack of willpower. Something hits her, a thought briefly passing through her mind, muddled from the atrocity of the Hunger Games, It is trying to take a challenge, Like me. She breathes harder tears falling down her face with renewed effort, and the dagger falls from her grip. Falling with a dull thud into the snow. "We are the deer" she mutters, through the tears, "The leashed deed that has a knife at it's throat, and the holders of that dagger is the Game Masters" she sits back, the fire heating her back as she watches the deer struggle, the spitting symbolism of her. @Edema Rue @J.

The Stormfather Posted June 18 Report Share Posted June 18 "I'm so sorry this had to happen, Quelkin. But, we're in the games. Your revolution, I would love to see it rise. I will aid in it's rise. I've been trying for a long time. We may have similar morals, but only one of everyone here can mak it out of this forsaken arena alive." Mark sighs. "And should I die in this place, I know that whoever kills me shall realize. That I don't want to survive if I cannot win. I should have died the second I entered this arena. rusts, I expected it. Now that I've helped kill someone else..." Never again. I swear. I will not be like before. "I can't." A tear goes into Mark's eye. " Ruin!" He shouts. He drops to his knees. No.... Sereine.... No... I can't see you die again! Never again! "May your soul find peace in the spiritual." He said. The mantra of who he had once been. Of whom he had been terrified of. Himself, yet someone else. His eyes seem to glaze over, and he stands calmly. "May you be one with the ones you love." he said. I can't be this person again! I cannot be the killer! Would I rather be killed? Ruin this world and it's politics. Ruin it all! Another man is dead. Just another death, one that no one will care about. "Quelkin, I will remember you. I will remember those who have been forgotten." Quote Time to ping a billion people. For Edema Rue, can Mark be an swear the edgedancer oath here? @LightRinger @Dragonheir @Lotus Blossom @Edema Rue @Unintelligenius @RoyalBeeMage 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
