Chris tried to slow his breathing as he slowly rose out of the tube, and his face became a determined mask, even though he was terrified. The countdown began, 60, 59, 58, 57, 56... What should he do? Should he try to grab something, or just bolt? 40, 39, 38, 37, 36... There was a bow - simple and sleek, and next to it, a quiver of arrows. 24, 23, 22, 21... he needed a weapon. Should he risk getting killed? He could probably make a bow. 10, 9, 8, 7... He was going to do it. He would grab what he could and run. And - if he had to - kill whoever stood in his way. 4, 3, 2, 1... A cannon blast. Chris was too focused to hear anything but the pounding in his ears as he launched forward. Near the edge was a black backpack and the bow and quiver, so he grabbed them and turned to run. The snake tribute was in his way. No - he wouldn't be killing this early in the game. He barreled past the scaly boy, knowing him to the side and swiftly running towards the jungle, uncontested. Chris made eye contact with the Zorath, who was already out of the cornucopia and hovering near the edge of the clearing. He gave a brief nod of thanks, then sprinted into the trees. He would track down the eagle boy later.
