Children Are Scary!

(Planet Cthelen- Hive City)

(Subsection Delta Quadrant- Fighting Pit No.47)

The air was heavy with moisture, and one could smell the earthy scent of decaying vegetation which was not a pleasant experience.

The whining buzz of mosquitoes could be heard even over the chattering of the aristocrat spectators in the stands.

Where there had once been a desert-like environment had been transformed into a murky swamp with knee-high brown water.

The swamp was home to hundreds of mangroves trees whose tangled roots and twisted branches formed a natural labyrinth.

These trees were covered in a mixture of moss and heavy thick vines that were wrapped around the edges of their branches.

Mushrooms peeked out from between the roots of the trees and layers of algae floated lazily on top of the brackish water.

The ripples occasionally visible in the water made it clear that there were living creatures inside this terrifying environment.
