Oddyese Tremere
My parents died in the mine a long time ago, I was all alone except my sword that they had left me, and my best friend, Jade, and her little 12 year old brother. She and I had a good life, hunting, selling, and buying. Eventually we were not only surviving, we were living. Then everything changed one day when we were hunting deer. Jade was in a tree, being the lookout, when suddenly, she slipped and fell onto the deer trap. The trap shut on her legs, I screamed. The peacekeepers came, grabbed Jade, and brought her away. The next day, we were in the hospital, and she looked fine, that was until you looked down at her legs, or lack of thereof. She got out of the hospital in a wheelchair. We had to trade 2 weeks of game for that wheelchair, but we had to. Then the reaping started. They went through the usual ritual, bla bla bla, yada yada yada. Then it was time for them to draw the names. I had my name in there 55 times, even though I was only 17, it was so I could guarantee Jade's safety, and so I could have grains to take care of her, and oil to sell. Then I heard a name, but it wasn't mine, it was Jade's. I screamed, I volunteer as a tribute. Everybody looked at me, this crazed girl, volunteering for a girl in a wheel chair. Everyone bowed their head in respect. I didn't even notice as they drew the next name, Samual Maybury, Jades brother. Great now she was going to have to lose me or/and her brother. Today was not a good day.
