A little pre-chapter knowledge. You're gonna really need it. - Poly Z.


"The rules go as follows:" Huntress read from a scroll. "There is one golden egg. There are two teams. Each team has boundaries, with a no man's land in the center. There are four positions: defence, guards; offence, warriors; both, Runners; and a captain. The captain elects the positions. Runners get the egg, and pass it between team members. Once the egg is out of no man's land, the war begins. Warriors and runners are able to invade enemy lines, while guards must stay put. Hostages are allowed. No severe or fatal injuries are permitted. Chose fighters wisely, hide those whom you do not want to make fight, as everyone on this island is playing, whether they want to or not. Any questions?"

There were none. After all, who doesn't understand pure brutal war?
