Snippet #1481068

Blinding sunlight hit Shinku's face as she as the ground moved up and into the arena. She held one hand over her eyes to shield them from the sun and looked around. There was a huge cornucopia in the middle that had a ton of supplies. The bloodbath is probably going to start over there... she thought as she studied what objects were there. The only two things that really caught her eye was a bow and some arrows, and the double straight swords. I should atleast get those....

Shinku looked away from the supplies and then at the other contestants. Some would probably be a problem to her, but most of them wouldn't. She looked down at the small circle around her that showed her where she was supposed to stay until the national anthem stopped. One step out and it would be the end for her. She silently waited for the anthem to stop, so she could run.

Right once the anthem stopped and all the noise went away, Shinku knew the games had begun. She dashed forward, grabbing the bow and the arrows and then also the double straight swords. She flung the carrier with the arrows in them on her shoulder and then ran off south into the woods, leaving the other contestants behind. She didn't stop running until she knew that she was far away from the cornucopia and the other contestants. She jumped onto a tree branch and sat down, looking at the two weapons she had snagged.
