Rings of a tree [Zions DP and Note]

[*]

Diana's form was a piece of home to him over the night. Every few hours or so, he'd wake up in fear that the two other guys they were with would be gone. He was afraid that they would seek to sever their heads from their bodies or drive a blade through their skulls. With every waking though, he was relieved immediately to find their sleeping souls still writhing from the day before. After his heart had settled he slept fitfully in the valley of yellow no longer a color but of a shade of darkness until the light had started to show through and their travels had became something of the future. Yellows dipped away after a while. His gaze kept straight on to Diana's back, watching and making sure that she was always to be protected like the little sisters he'd left at home. They were watching, he knew and a baby brother that knew of nothing going on. His absence made no difference to the two year old, but he longed to hear from his little sister's once more. The empty whisky bottle deep in his sack held two wilting sunflowers. One had been for Zeezee because she loved anything bright and cheerful. The other one was going to be given back to Jacobie so that she may know the sun will always shine wherever she was. He had plans to give them back the moment he reached home, but first he knew that he'd have to make it there. As the path turned so did his facial expressions when noises deafened his heart and his breaths sped up. This place was going to be one hell of a trip and only just now was the fun starting to begin. The clopping sound of hooves only alerted him to the forceful nature of the biggest creature to show itself, but not before the body of a creature, mighty and small, wrapped around his body in the blink of an eye. "DIANA..." His voice was naturally trying to alert her to the danger so that she could move. His intentions to keep her away but the creatures body slithered over his legs, wrapping around his stomach. "Fuck! Get the Fuck.. off!" Arms thrashed around wildly, fingernails clawing into the creature, but as the snake slithered higher and higher, the blood of his ally painted the ground. Red. Blue. Black. The colors faded in his mind and in a matter of seconds, he lost his breath with one final word. "Zee..." Deformity took over his body amidst the fight that had barely began. A warrior of his home brought down in the blink of an eye. The fight taken straight out of him. His hands fell to his side as the snake claimed his soon to be meal. In the tattered mail sack precariously discarded just a foot away, the wilted flowers in the whisky bottle continue to die just as the tribute who had picked them. ---------------------- Gamemakers: sbeeg, d6a georgie cham 🍓🐢 frankel and eulalie blake 1a 🍒 tris Thank you so very much for these games.

Keep making things fun and you guys are amazing. Sweetwater Saints alex 🐺 ghosty D6f Carmen Cantelou [aza]: Guys!!! I didn't get to write with you long enough and it shows. I hate to leave you guys so early on, but two games in a roll I've died first in my alliance leaving everyone to fend for yourselves. Sorry about that. Please fight for Zion and show that snake whose boss, okay? You are amazing writers and I hate that this was my first time writing with you guys and I don't get to soak up your beautiful words. Peace guys! marguerite harvard d2a (zori) Geeze! You are such an amazing person to me. Always supportive and ready to listen to anything I have to say. You've really been my sanity between last games which I ultimately adored and I was really looking forward to writing with you again. For now, keep it up! Good luck in the games! You are an amazing writer and friend! Knuckles: You are such a great friend and I honestly don't deserve such a caring and loving person like you. You are always willing to talk to me and I can honestly say that without you and several on this site, It would be a boring place. I wish you could have been in the games with me again. Keep writing and I look forward to seeing you in the games again at a later date! Oh! Sorry for wasting your moneys! XD That Armored chest plate was going to be beautiful. Tributes of the 81st: Keep things going smoothly and no harassing the Gamemakers, XD! Beat the odds even if 23 of us have to die. Write to your heart's content. Always do the fun thing. Be true to yourself and be true to others. Write your tribute's stories beautifully, okay? They deserve every moment you can give them. Lastly, to the site, I've had such a wonderful time preparing for these games even though I've been working tirelessly with two jobs and everything. I appreciate all the friendships I've gotten here. I've gained so much from this place and honestly, this place has been more home to me then anything when I was away from family. You guys helped to fill a void I needed and didn't know I had. I learned more about writing and got to read a ton of great things. I aspire to be like each and everyone one of you, so it is with me saying this, that this was my last games on the site. Real life just has gotten so packed and while I'll still be on social media and skype, I'll be back some day. That's what we all do I need to take some time to myself to see about RL for a while. It's been amazing fun guys. Keep doing the fun thing please. Love you all! Marr Zion Imani
