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

“I have stopped trying to figure out what they will throw our way,” Sam told us as we sat down in our seats in the

stadium. It was a warm and sunny day and my mood was still high from the previous evening. My brother acted like we

didn’t exist, Alpha James was nowhere to be seen, and Ramses’ shoulder was almost back to normal. It was a great day,

and I had decided we would do amazing in today’s game.

“You look to be in a good mood, Alpha,” Jake said.

“I am. If we need to wait, today is a good day for it as the weather is amazing. We can relax and pretend we are just

moseying around in the sun,” I told him.

“Welcome to the ninth game. Only two more games remain. If you think you need to gather points to secure a higher

ranking, the opportunity is almost over,”the speaker told us. It felt strange that we only had a week left before we could

head back home. Thinking back, it both felt like we arrived yesterday and like we had been here for a year. “Today’s game

will test your endurance. Please head to the buses and all the information will be given to you once you arrive.” We

looked at each other, that was new. We usually were giving the instructions for the joint games before we went to the

buses to give us time to plan. We moved along with the others and got on a bus. We arrived at the big lake in the middle

of the woods. The lake looked to be filled with rafts.

“Welcome to the lake and the ninth game. Every pack has been assigned a raft. Your pack will get onto the raft and the

objective is to be the last pack standing. Each raft is made out of five logs. Each hour a log will be removed. Once the

game is started, if any part of a wolf touches the water, that wolf is out of the game. After the log has been removed from

the float, your support team may hand flasks with something to drink to our officials and we will deliver it to the team. No food is allowed. There is no time limit. Last pack standing on the raft is the winner. Points will be rewarded based on

how long members stay on the float and how you work as a team. Please head for your designated float.” That explained

why we didn’t get any time to plan, there was not much to plan.

‘Let’s take full advantage of the big float and sit down until we can’t’ Sam told us as we swam out to the float and got up

on it.
