 With dawn's arrival, it signified the third and final day of a preliminary tournament which can be said to have yielded more than thought possible. Currently, only twenty five-persons were remaining within the forest.

As startling as this might have been, what truly took the headlines was the strange death of Darwin. Apparently he too was involved in a conflict with the couple and was hunted down like a dog to one of the many safe-havens.
