Long ago, but somehow still in the distant future, a mighty king had an empire that stretched farther than the known universe. His kingdom was called Llippahdieh and he ruled for many decades. He was growing old and he was getting close to death. He did not know which of children to give control of his empire to, given that he had thirty of them. He had to devise a plan to pick the best of his children for the job. After much deliberation with his council he chose to have them fight to the death in an arena. This would be no ordinary fight, because the fighting would not go on continuously. The fighting would start at 6:00 am and would go until an individual or group found a special flag, every day until one child remained. Each day would have a new challenge in the arena. The kings children were each given a number based on age. 1 went to the oldest of the children, Orion, and 30 went to the youngest of the children, Delta. The week before the fighting started they were allowed to train. Naturally they began to create alliances. Orion sided with children 2-8 who were the oldest and best suited for fighting. Delta being the youngest was a lot smaller than his siblings; however he was a super-genius. He was a child prodigy in technological development and could make traps and weapons out of almost anything. He was able to gain children 9-15 as allies. The rest of the kings children were too proud to work together so they decided to fight alone. After an intense week of training, the fight was about to begin. .
The kings children were brought into the arena. They were only allowed specific clothing they would need for the challenge and nothing else. Weapons were scattered around the arena and had to be found. The first challenge was an aquatic environment with a beach and vast ocean. there was an island off the coast of the beach. There was a set of six boats to get there. This was good, however there were clearly not enough boats to get to the island.
