Drekkal’Zuun
The horn blares. The Kor’Zeluun stands tall and glistening under the red Martian sun.

Sadbread rushes in, collecting as much food as they can before darting away with a first aid kit in hand.

At the edge of the Kor’Zeluun, Helia and Bexxi collide - They both reach for the same bag. They struggle, until Bexxi relents, backing away with clenched fists. Helia has secured the bag, it is filled with: rope, a lighter and a flask with clean water.

Cynamity makes a bold charge into the center. He grabs a backpack and bolts - only to find that it is completely empty. Cursing under his breath, he circles back moments later, retrieving a sickle from beneath a pile of scrap.

Eliah pulls a med-kit into her arms, then wrenches a trident from a steel rack dripping with condensation. With her weapons secured, she vanishes.

HarleyBarbie98 find all the loo. First she finds a bag, it weighs heavy when she lifts it. Filled with camping equipment, perfect for the Martian desert - And later she finds a bag filled with explosive. She has a great gut feeling of this arena.

Day 1 of the Drekkal’Zuun
The Martian sun mercilessly heats up the sand. Dust everywhere.

Eliah is on a hunt in the outskirts of the Kor'Zeluun, trident in hand. She's not hunting for food, but for other tributes. However that soon changes when dehydration reaches, her new goal is to find a water source.

HarleyBarbie98, Helia, Cynamity and Bexxi works together. There's trust, yet unspoken it is necessary.. For now.
They hunt, as a pack only splitting up as a strategy.
Cynamity has a very particular strategy as he disappears into the sand dunes, dusting himself so he is completely camouflaged - Martian clay smeared across the face, red dusted hair. Hidden in plain sight.

While Eliah stops to drink from a small, muddy spring, Sadbread lunges from behind the rocks - blade aimed for her back. The ambush is sudden and brutal. But Eliah fights back. Her trident clashes with Sadbread’s knife. She escapes, injured, blood running down her arm - but alive none the less. Her breath is heavy. 

Night 1 of the Drekkal’Zuun
The Martian sky turns a deep crimson, fading into black. Stars hang still above the arena.

The group of four has split up, into two some time during the day. We've got Helia and HarleyBarbie98 at one end of the arena and Bexxi and Cynamity in the other.

Helia decides to go sleep in a tree - but the bark crumbles beneath her grip. She crashes down - directly onto HarleyBarbie98, who was resting beneath. Both groan in pain, bruised. A rough start to the night.
Both unhappy with what just occurred, they decide to split up for the night - Seemingly they do more harm to each other than good.

Later Helia sees Eliah around. A fight breaks out. Tension and exhaustion. It's seemingly an unfair fight, trident agains fists. But Helia manages to wringe out the trident from Eliah's hands and throw it away. Helia emerges victorious, standing over Eliah with blood on her hands - But Helia can't get herself to take Eliah's life, they are on the same team after all, the closest thing she has to a friend.

Later in the night, Sadbread and HarleyBarbie98 cross paths. Weapons are drawn - then lowered. Without a word, they agree to a truce.
Sadbread helps patch up HarleyBarbie98's wounds from the tree incident earlier. The moment feels almost fragile.

Elsewhere, Bexxi, attempts to ambush Eliah - but Cynamity is waiting. He steps in between, weapon drawn, slashing across Bexxi’s arm. The pain and shock send her fleeing into the night.
