Cornucopia

District 11's Second Pupper Games Participant

The first games came as a surprise to every pack in the vicinity, it is still unknown who the Game Master is and what exactly they are after but it has now become some sick and twisted tradition for a pack from every district to send one of their pups out into the wilderness without prior training on the first of winter.

In these lands winter isn't a thing to be trifled with, many wolves have shown up dead during the cold days and even colder nights so the thought of sending a helpless pup out on it's own makes even the most insane wolves question their humanity. Despite this the packs continue to play the games, and for the second game Nix's pack was chosen.

It came as a shock when the distant howl alerted the pack to their involvement in the games and a wave of horror washed over them. Every wolf that would be ready to breed before the first snow began to panic, praying that their pups wouldn't be chosen. Taking in two wolves from outside of the pack it was decided one of their offspring would be used for the games, both mothers understood what was needed of them but they were still nervous for the day they would birth their litters.

On that fateful morning Cornucopia was chosen as the strongest of the pups and was set out with the other pups to begin their fight for survival. It was as if every pack held their breaths until the first death was called, everyone unsure of whose tribute would win this gruesome game. The first night passed by without any injury and was a relief to everyone, until the next morning as the alerts of the first deaths echoed through the air.

During the cold night Cornucopia, still trying to learn her footing, stumbled upon what appeared to be a frozen river. Thinking she had seen another pup along the other side she began to cross the ice. To her surprise a crack echoed through the night and she was plunged into the freezing water beneath her paws. The next morning her body was found not far from Apicem's border, still damp and slightly frosted over from the frigid air forever frozen cuddled up into a ball as if she tried to warm herself after her unfortunate plunge.
