In Thio’s opinion, waiting in line sucks. He’s spent his entire morning doing exhausting activity but somehow waiting in a line was the most tiring. Waking up at the first signs of sunrise to avoid being attacked by his family, fighting a bear for a half-eaten salmon, climbing an entire mountain without getting beaten to death by a goat. And now, waiting…
Finally, the line was growing shorter and the weapon ring grows nearer. When he was young his parents decided it would be best settle in The City of Blood, they weapons having been owned as soon as they took a step into his Mom’s childhood home. A halberd shooting off the floor, swiftly snatched from the air. It was time, he took a step into the weapon ring.
“Thio Caskeson, select your opponent. After which your weapon will find you,” the priest demanded.
“My Mother, Clytodora Caskeson,” Thio said confidently. As soon as the words left his mouth, a rumbling was heard. A slight tremor in the ground, a whistling sound is heard in the distance, getting ever so closer. A small object lands at his feet, lodged in the dirt.
A gasp was heard from the adults in the crowd.
“Excuse me, the fuck,” Thio asked.
“Thio, put the pen down,” his Mom, Atalanta, demanded.
“Mom, it’s just a pen,” Thio said in disbelief.
“Thio, run,” Clytodora called anxiously. Clytodora Caskeson doesn't get anxious, something's wrong. He looked at to the crowd, all with blood lust clear in their eyes. He needs to go.
