Fifteen hundred years ago â¦
Or
A million years ago â¦
(Just depends on who you ask.)
FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, the bi-century Harpy Games ended with more participants dead than alive, and every single one of the survivors knew fourteen-year-old Kaia Skyhawk was to blame.
The day began innocently enough. With the morning sun shining brightly, Kaia strolled through the overcrowded camp hand in hand with her beloved twin sister, Bianka. Tents of every size littered the area, and multiple fires crackled to ward off the early-morning chill. The scents of filched biscuits and honey coated the air, making her mouth water.
Forever cursed by the gods, Harpies could only eat what they stole or earned. If they ate anything else, they sickened horribly. So Kaiaâs breakfast had been a meager affair: a stale rice cake and half a flagon of water, both of which sheâd pilfered from a humanâs saddle.
Maybe sheâd appropriate a biscuit from a member of a rival clan, she mused, then shook her head. No, sheâd just have to remain semi-hungry. Her kind didnât live by many rules, but the ones they had, they revered. Such as: never fall asleep where humans could find you, never reveal a weakness to anyone and, most importantly, never thieve a single morsel of food from one of your own race, even if you hated her.
âKaia?â her sister said, her tone curious.
âYes?â
âAm I the prettiest girl here?â
âOf course.â Kaia didnât even have to look around to confirm that fact. Bianka was the prettiest girl in the entire world. Sometimes she forgot, though, and had to be reminded.
