Chapter 2
Recaps
I sit on the couch with Ker beside me on my right and my mother on the left to watch the recaps and take notes on what our fellow Chosen could do. The recaps start with the Kingdom's sign and little theme song, I like to call it. They first announce the Essi and then the Chosen. I write every name, ages, colony, and skill with a question mark.

i couldn't bear it. I was going to die. All of these kids against each other in an arena. I ran out of the room crying. Ker followed me. "Go away!" I yell.
"Kara listens. You can do this. You know you good at archery. Whenever there is a flock of quail in the fields you get every single one and get good money for It." she said. I nodded.
"I just need a bow." I say wiping away my tears.
"And Helm, well he is good at taking in all the bundles after a workday in the fields. So he is strong. Also both of you are good with a scythe. The Keepers might put one in there if you show them."
