During the night, in the shadow of blood and metal, the arena sighs deeply.
From the mouth of the oasis, a cloud of nakom flees the darkness and scatters across the broken buildings, and broken walls; even the dents where broken bodies have been lifted away from. And as they fly, sweeping through spaces that will surely be immortalized in the nightmares of the one person lucky enough to escape with their life, their colors seem to intensify. A kaleidoscope shifting around the tributes.
It's as beautiful as it is tragic, the theme of the evening. Even as their sanctuary dims and goes cold beneath them, a mythical beast becoming bone, becoming memory, becoming just another hollow casing of a thing that will be forgotten. Will be erased. Will be burned into the blackness that comes only when the victor closes their eyes. That's all any of this is for. Consider it a prelude. The final eight look up at the stars, at the faces staring down, at all the people they've betrayed and abandoned and murdered. In that moment, it's a rare shade of lilac.
Then it twists, and it fades, and as the tributes sleep they can feel that last spark of hope, of peace. Like a hearth in their own chest, like a fire trying to burn its way out, this experience will never be anything more than the process of falling apart. Even when it doesn't hurt. Even when it heals, it's almost like magic. A wave of purity flowing across the arena in one final, bright flash of light, before dying out in the distance as the sun crests the horizon.
Count your dead, tributes.
Count your enemies, too.

More dead than ever before and even still, 7 remain not including yourself. You’re closer than ever, yet somehow feel further away from the end than ever before.
Congrats on surviving Day Six!

Gamemaker Notes:
1 As a goodbye from the healing energy of the oasis, all tributes awaken to find that they have healed exceptionally well overnight, all the way down to 0 damage.
2 The tributes in this fight will be racing to the death.
Mandates end when either a mutt pack reaches max damage or a tribute die
CLIMATE
Weather: Remnants of something good- something unidentifiable- seem to make the atmosphere more… comfortable. The tributes aren’t sweaty for the first time, a steady breeze blows through, and even though there are no clouds the sunlight seems subdued.
Temperature: 80F/26C
Humidity: 35%
