And so she enters the playing field — her, in all her gentle fury and cautious pride. Beatrix Alfray has grown tired of the background noise, of hiding within herself and quelling the flames of her own ambition. The bonfire has long burned away to embers, the spilled liquor has dried from the grass; and the music and the laughter is gone from the arena. All is silent. For now. Zaya gives her a sharp nod to begin, and Josie distracts himself with a flute of champagne. He had his day of peace, but now the sun has risen once more and the time has come for blood.
She runs her hands across the board in front of her, watching in awe as a simulation of the arena comes to life beneath her fingertips. Despite herself, she feels a rush of power. Control suits her in a way that seems foreign, unsteady like the legs of a spring fawn, but she stands her ground. If she turned to look over her shoulder, she's sure that Reine would have all their hunger and satisfaction proudly on display. Just the same, she's certain that Layton wouldn't meet her gaze. But there comes a time when all gods must wring out their morality, and she is no different.All that is left is divinity.
In the shelter of their dreams, the tributes are unaware of their surroundings taking on a new shape. Hours of travel, of setting up their camps in new locations, are rewritten as their bodies and their belongings are transported to the same lonely place: the Tattered Big Top. It seems the group activities have not yet reached their end, as broken glass flies back up to sky and reforms shattered lights — as a melody pours from the open flap and puppets and shadows begin to dance.
With only a flurry of her fingers, a twirl of her wrist, Beatrix has brought the circus back to life. And now it has an audience, eyes fluttering awake and expressions of confusion giving way to wonder. The sun is still low in the sky, still new and uncertain, and the stars have not yet fled. But all they can focus on is that inviting tent, the song within and the promise of fun. And as they enter, one big crowd of broken youths, joy gives way to dread. Many things are coming to life on the walls, teeth and wolves and clawed hands, but so are faces. So are memories of those they have lost.
Their distraction is enough for Bea to complete the task at hand, putting Hades' work to test and activating the hidden terror of the 81st Annual Hunger Games. Don't you remember that pile of bones? Can't you recall how massive they are, the sharpness of the two blades at their front? It's easy to identify what they belonged to as the marrow reconnects itself, as it rises from the dusty ground and regains its form. This is the star attraction of the festival, the remnants of something spectacular. The skeleton of an elephant brings its feet down with a loud and mighty crash, rattling and shrieking as it moves. The flap closes.
The time has come to do three things;
to fight, to survive, and to die.
For five of you, one of those is not guaranteed.
Bea takes the reins without hesitation, not just there to watch. This beast is under her command, ready for her orders. Still, her heart has not yet stopped its bleeding — even if just barely — so she looks to those tributes most guarded. Let the strongest feel her wrath first. A wave of her hand is all it takes, Kharon charges forward.
What is dead has no remorse.
