Chapter 02: Mayfield's Hunger Games

[wyvernjustice]

[A: 1336 Benny RoadCormag woke up like what he found to be the routine in this place. Just walking downstairs to see whatever his not!parents were doing. Today was different though. There seemed to be some sort of a parcel addressed to him. That never happened, he was always too young and unimportant to get a message. Well- it's not like he'd been

And what of those who will willingly go through with this? Are their deaths then necessary? To protect the greater good?

[wyvernjustice]

[Of course. He had been trained to kill and do anything in the name of an empire.]

I guess if one were to attack without remorse, they should be struck down.

[So he'd need to prepare for this fate himself.]

[doctor_creep]

I suppose, as long as you realize where your contradictions are, you'll do alright. Perhaps I'll even manage to see your end in all this.
