Game of Destiny – A Thrilling Tale of Power, Love & Fate

“I am going.” Ramses stood fully dressed, ready to walk to the stadium with us for the seventh game.

“Ramses,” I said.

“No. I’m fine. My shoulder doesn’t hurt, I’m a little stiff, but it won’t stop me. It’s better we use me at eighty percent than we are a wolf short,” he insisted. I was about to order him back to bed when Amie put her hand on my arm and stepped

criteria, the wolf will be free to leave. If an object has been used and accepted, it can’t be used again. You will have two

hours to get as many of your pack members out of the stadium as possible. We will not tell you the criteria for the object,

you will have to figure that out by using deduction. Good luck. Your time starts now,” the speaker’s voice told us. We all

jumped up. There were people already heading for the main gate. We all tried to see what they were presenting to the

guards.

‘The flag got denied,’ Sam said.

‘As did the apple and the bottle,’ Amie said.

“Oh, she got through,’ Jake excitedly pointed out.

‘Did you see what she gave them?’ I asked.

‘It looked like a spoon.’

‘Someone tried a fork and it was denied,’ Ramses said.
