Crescent Boreal Avos
Living. That was the one room that circulated throughout his mind. How had he managed to live, breathe, grow, but others didn't. Death had denied him for yet another day, pushing him to the background as he took in the others. Only one other had died after the male from district 9. 'Jerome' from district 4. Even as the anthem played, recognition barely peaked. The only sighting of him was at the beginning of the feast, but the face had been cascaded from Crescent in the action, yet somehow, the female from 1 or 2 managed to live. The smog that grazed over the remaining tributes had introduced one to death, but never allowed the same charity for another.
Neither the guy he was attacking or the one he was aiding managed to falter under the feast's pressure; the two of them were nowhere around him, however. Crescent was the first to flee, so following him wasn't high on the priority list, compared to killing one more tribute. Even as he trekked the barren lands covered in heated grains of sand, his nerves continued to tinge over every inch of his body. The only sponsor gift he had received was lost 4 days ago after the first and only fight he was forced to participate in before the feast. Maybe he had been pushed to the bottom of the priority list, yet too special to have the glory of Death's touch.
The lands he crossed had became more and more unrecognizable as he pasted every inch of ground. Even hours after the sun fell below the horizon, the very specks of sand he walked across managed to burn through the soles of his thin shoes. Digging a pillow of dry, burning seeds of earth was uncomfortable, even with the useless gas mask laying away from his face. Night had no longer been welcoming for him, being a secret admirer to something that evolved into the terrorizing abyss of surprises had no being on his own personal list of priorities.
A near-silent movement of sands had rang throughout the air, vibrating off the sparse palm trees rooted around Crescent. Some figure had managed to appear near him, slowly and silently marching towards him, dagger in hand. The face wasn't very clear, appearing mangled and destroyed, yet it didn't look friendly. They were never friendly. The hilt of a familiar pink-red mace had met his loose grip, awaiting for a moment of assurance or attack.
