Running Up That Hill
The Gods made a good argument for the need for propaganda and there was no better chance for that than the Great Games.
The ceremony and competition drew Braz in. It reminded him of the Run from back home - an event he had never had the chance to compete in.
The torches lit, the would-be competitors began to climb the hill. A chance to stake a claim as athletes for the games.
Braz tried his best to race using his bull form to keep his pace high, but it was not enough to be even close to Xan, the pirate warrior the party had recently met who sped up the hill like the sea winds.
The race went well; but as the fire was lit at the top a Praxys contingent of athletes appeared - monstrous beings of apparent great power.
The Games would not be easy...
