does the walker choose the path, or the path the walker? ✯

The golden package tantalizes you as soon as you spot it, flickering with iridescent reflections in the afternoon light. It reminds you, somehow, of the glimmering sword Rory had wielded, or the rainbow throwing knives that had carried Annie to victory.

The wolves begin tugging at the wrapping paper as soon as you claim the gift, ripping it into little shreds of gold that they leave scattered across the snow in a trail of celebratory excitement. Even with their "help", it takes ages for you to undo all the layers stuffed into the oversized box, revealing a small bag at the bottom, freezing to the touch and filled with mysterious powder.

They probably wanted you to blow somebody up with this, didn't they? Hmm.

Whatever you'd expected the arena to be like back home in the justice building, you certainly hadn't imagined the sense of calm that seeps toward you from all around. It's not long before the barren hill of the cornucopia gives way to a field of translucent trees, and the wolves slow to a stop in front of a rather large one, pawing at the ice bark and chasing circles around each other in delight.

You run your hand through the fur on Gabrielle's neck before perching the sled below the tree and using it to boost yourself up onto one particularly sturdy-looking branch. All around you light dances against the crystal branches, little mirages of movement every time the sun moves in and out between the edges of clouds. Beyond the yips and patters of your wolves, there is only utter silence.

Somehow, that silence feels like home, reminds you of the vast lake stretching along the west border of the district, past the university and rows of the university's suburbs into a thicket of shrubbery criss-crossed with trails. Its frozen surface shone desolate and glassy in winter, and when you stood on its edge you could almost feel the horizon tugging at you, reaching to pull you into the unknown.

This place is supposed to be eerie, you know that. You know that Gamemakers so rarely designed an Arena without an eye towards a subtle unease, to set your senses on edge and stoke the tensions that made folks assume the worst about even accidental slights.

That thought makes you think of home, too.
