Three Tasks Wiki

Three Tasks is the name of an upcoming pre-apocalyptic novel by Olivia. . . or, well, hope-to-be novel. It is about a young fifteen-year-old girl named Marigold who is the daughter of an ambassador to the Empire of Boar and a broken-down constantly cranky mother who hates everyone and everything because of her depression. Marigold lives in a world where the Empires of Boar, Hare, Ox, Ram, Seal and Spider each send ten Warriors to compete each year in the Three Task Challenge to determine who will rule for the next year. And the first two tasks can be anything the hosting Empire can think of while the third, and deadliest, task is always the infamous Death Maze, a terrible winding maze of thorny hedges, hallucinating contestants, and beasts who want your blood. Many die in the Challenge, and many more go hopelessly insane from the horrors they witness, but there's always one who leaves the Challenge alive. Whichever Empire the survivor belongs to wins and gains the fame of ruling for a year. And during that year, workers don't work because they get free money and food and nothing is produced by that Empire. Then, as the time for the Challenge comes around again, everything repeats. ..

Marigold wants to win for her poverty-stricken family, which desperately needs pulling together. She and nine others from the Empire of Hare volunteer themselves to participate in the one-hundred-thirteenth Three Task Challenge tournament. They are taking an enormous risk, though - no one from the Empire of Hare has ever survived long enough to win. They've all laid down their weapons in the first Task in an act to oppose the Challenge. Marigold wants to win it all for her family, her Empire, and herself. But can she do it when the rest of the Hares plan to oppose the Challenge as soon as the first task begins? She needs all the help she can get, and she'll have to fight to get it. Follow Marigold in her fight for family reunion and for her life as she brawls her way through the annual Masquerade, weekly training, romance with fellow Hare Warrior Ash, and the gut-wrenching Three Task Challenge that'll either save her family or end her forever.

Give me comments and such if this sounds like a good idea, a bad idea, or something in between. I'll probably be taking it down soon, though, so distribute the ideas while you can! Thanks a lot for reading I'm still young and in middle school so it'd really boost my confidence as a young writer if it sounds good!
