Dear River,
Actaeon won the long jump. It wasn’t much of a competition really. No one was really close to his jumping abilities that were enhanced by Clio’s magical abilities.
But then it was leaping spires. This was a lot of fun. Rendu, Actaeon, Torag, and I competed along with Kano, Hatria, and others… We had to jump around on different rocks trying to collect pennants and return them to a certain rock. Unfortunately, I jumped on top of an earth elemental. That was scary but Kano competed super well. I almost won but I missed the last jump with my four pennants, but by the time I recuperated Actaeon was already back at the finish line with his four pennants. Therefore, Actaeon won, I got second, and Torag took third. Great fun!
Love,
Shadow
Dear River,
Another day of the great games. To be honest, I am exhausted. Even though I have thoroughly enjoyed the great games, I need a break. This morning it was javelin throws. Rendu and Actaeon tied and won the event. Then later that evening was the eye of the storm. We had to shoot each other with arrows and who had the most points won. Since archery is kind of my thing, I was able to win this event. This was my first personal win in the great spectacles so that was fun! Actaeon took second and Torag took third. That meant that Actaeon and I are tied for 1st place for the overall standings of the great games and it all comes down to tomorrow’s wrestling matches. Since Actaeon and I are on the same relay team we get the same amount of points for that event. If we don’t place we get no points therefore the relay is a mute point in terms of who wins the great games. Therefore, it comes down to the wrestling event. Since I am not competing in wrestling it comes down to how well Actaeon does. If he wins, he wins the shabang. If he doesn’t… well we tie but there has never been a tie and I wonder if the host of the great games will add an additional event that will decide the winner between Actaeon and I. I hope just hope that Actaeon wins the wrestling event. To be honest it doesn’t matter. He should win because he has won the most great spectacles and I am tired. I’ll compete hard in the great relay, but I don’t want to participate in more events. Actaeon can just have it if it comes down to it. I’ll just withdraw my name. I am happy for him. He is a fierce warrior and and has earned his prize. The fact that I have held my own is enough for me. I know that he has pushed me to do the best I could. I hope he could say the I pushed him as well.
Love,
Shadow
