The claw still manages to score a deep gash on the side of Maj's face, however. “Don’t let him beat you!”
Through the Living Hope Posted January 14, 2025 Posted January 14, 2025 8 minutes ago, The Stormfather said: Maj jerks backwards, head reeling and white cracking across his vision. He stumbles backwards but manages to put his feet below himself. He lifts the bloodied machete in tired hands and goes into a weak attack stance, lunging towards the Greenspines' outstreched claw/foot/fin. Quote Poor Mark…

The Greenspine draws back its foot, and a flurry of vines catch Maj's blade. The blade falls from Maj's hand. No. NO. Not like this, not even killed by another tribute but by this creature that those monsters created. "Damn you gamemakers. Damn you!" Maj roars. "Why do you do this? Why do you choose to wreck the lives of everyone you rule over? Why do you even want to rule over something if all you do is murder everyone who lives in your country?" Anger fills Maj's voice, and his hands clench in bloodied fists. "I will not die like this, you horrendous excuses for humans!" Maj screams, voice cracking. A solitary tear rolls down his cheek. His voice drops down to a whisper. "You create monsters to go into the arena, but everyone in your godforsaken country knows that you are the true monsters." Bird circles above, letting loose a glorious cry like a hawk. "Gamemakers, should you hear this, know that I DEFY YOU!" Maj takes a deep breath, crouching down a lifting his machete from where it had been knocked to the ground. "I do not get killed by your monstrosity. I am my own person and YOU DO NOT CONTROL ME!" Maj lifted the blade and drove it through his heart, ending his own life. "I defy you." He muttered weakly before he died. Quote RIP 2

I will remember you... and remember how good you tasted." It looked up at Murr, who was presumably still watching from a nearby tree. @The Aspiring Archivist "You," the Greenspine said. "I have decided to spare you today, although not for long. I want you to spread the word to your fellow tributes. All shall fear me, and no one, not even the Gamemakers, is above my hunger."
