Weekly Contest #366
“Are you joking?”I did not agree with the position we were in either. In fact, it was one of the most disagreeable ones of my life. However, I was not going to lay down and lose my life to a poorly made circle of barely-formed mud beasts.Kallan roared with fury. “How could you have been so foolish, Callisto?

It’s always been our tradition, and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. There wasn’t anything to do besides people-watch.
