Day Three: Morning

[Minoshia]

"Excuse me for the interruption, contestants. Someone is about to be made an example of. An example of what happens when you bore the viewers."

Minoshia heard the announcement roaring over the rooftops of the forest, causing unrest in the creatures living in the mysterious acres of the wood. Minoshia locked palms with Violet, in a battle for strength. The two pushed against each other?s energies, toes digging into the ground for added traction, any assistance in the grueling pride match were looked on as a blessing. The Konat felt lightheaded all of a sudden. Something was wrong, he dropped his hands to his side, the raven-haired warrior stepping backwards curiously, not knowing what to do. He looked as if he were about to enter a seizure, his black eyes had vanished from the visible area of his eye socket, and he stumbled backwards, then forwards. He swung like a rocking chair, before eventually collapsing hard on the ground, grabbing his temples and squeezing them with all the strength his fingers could muster.

He heard screaming, and all the pressure from his head was relieved, exiting out invisible gateways in his skull. His black eyes fell back down with an anger not yet seen in this tournament; he knew what was wrong before he saw it. A small tear dropped down his eye, colliding with his cheek and ricocheting off into the planet?s surface, it never was absorbed into the ground, resting on top of the dirt. It was a miracle of nature, the tears shed for a fallen brother, Tapion

Minoshia sprinted away from the sparring arena, leaving Violet alone in confusion. He would of felt a little bad, but he had much more stressful things on his mind as he darted through the crowded forest. His mind was racing with thoughts on what could have happened, his brother, dead before him like his family. Everyone he got close to and loved managed to die before him. Another tear collided with the ground, and many more began to follow.

He burst through the last bush and stumbled into camp, looking at the confused crowd of the Android, child and two puttalin beasts. He pushed through all of them, falling at the corpse?s side. He had seen it before he could stop it, and it killed him to even think he could of changed it. Blood flow from the Neck of the older prince had ceased, the younger embracing his brother. Tears flowed faster then waterfalls peaking over the top of their crests. Puddles of salty liquid mixed with the thick red ooze of the Konat, and the brothers were together for the last time.

?No?? Minoshia snuffed back the snot that had gathered in his runny nose, wiping his eyes before dropping his head back on the elder?s chest, his wails of agony could be heard for miles, everyone above him managed to walk back, looking more confused then ever. ?This can?t be happening?? Another loud snuff, followed by a wail, his fingernails grasped the clothing of his older brother. ?Not again?? Minoshia clasped onto his clothing and hung on, as if he were trying to hold him from the inevitable truth that he was dead. A sorrow as he had never felt before erupted through his body; someone held a shotgun to his chest and had shot out his heart. That was what the Konat felt, a complete loss of all emotional and physical being. He reached up his fingers and pulled down the eyelids of his brother. The dark prince slipped his hand under his brother?s head and lifted his neck gently, kissing his brother good-bye, one last time.

Every thought of not seeing his brother again, and the absence they had experienced from each other last time built up the hatred buried deep inside the Konat warrior. He raised his palm up to his brother?s locks of hair, and grabbed a small amount, biting it with his teeth. He slipped the lock of hair into his pocket. Minoshia grabbed his own hair, and tore out a significantly larger chunk, wrapping it up inside of Tapion?s palm, where it would lay for all of time.

The Konat stood up, wiping the tears from his eyes and looking at the crowd before him. ?Which one of you fuckers did this!?? Minoshia screamed, pointing his finger and moving it horizontally between them. They looked at him even more confused. But the older of the puttalin warriors responded.

?No one did? he just drop.?

?Arrghh!? Minoshia screamed. Grasping his head he headed behind the rock he was camped at earlier. He fiddled around in his pocket and grabbed something he didn?t realize he had obtained, a small flask of liquid he had found in Tapion?s pocket. The prince immediately knew what it was, he had seen it before, and it wasn?t pretty stuff, not at all. Can?t be the Android, he has a gaping hole in his stomach. The smaller Pink creature has one leg, and the older Pink creature just witnessed the death of a friend, so why would he kill. That leaves one...

The Konat sneaked around the rock, avoiding eyesight as the group talked amongst themselves about his actions. The Prince found the area that the young boy camped and popped the top off the flask, pouring it slowly into the water.
