21st Hunger Games

## Arena

The 21st Hunger Games was set in a series of Ice Caverns with crevices snaking their way towards hills and trees at the other side of the Arena. The Arena was outside in the cold, frigid air.

## Synopsis

The Tributes bravely entered the arena, but were scared to death when they came face-to-face with an army of polar bears. However, it turned out to just be an illusion of the Gamemaker's to inspire fear and break the spirits of the tributes.

The bloodbath begun with the District 7 tribute, FrenchCanadian, claiming first blood by killing the District 5 tribute Glosta. Six tributes risked running through the crevices and into the caverns instead of facing the tributes fighting at the Cornucopia.

At the end of Day One, 11 tributes were dead. Many tributes went and formed teams the three teams were hunting each other while the District 3 tribute, Bromnk, thought it would be a good idea to hide beneath the snow for a bit. The largest team crossed Bromnk's path but through sheer luck they didn't spot him. When Bromnk emerged, he ran the other way and continued to use the environment to his advantage. Some tributes experienced pneumonia while others were attacked by a series of carnivorous rabbits or fell off ledges and were impaled by ice stalagmites. StormKing sneaked back to the cornucopia and looted it, but was fought and killed by Kinnick after a vicious battle.

In the middle of the night, Daedelus Emeric invited the tributes to a feast at the Cornucopia where it was stockpiled with three long-swords. The District 5 tribute, Kinnik, got there first and stole all the weapons and dropped his heavier, less deadly weapons.

At the Cornucopia the District 12 tribute, Lladdix, attempted to make an explosives trap for the other tributes who would try to loot what was left at the Cornucopia. Sadly, she set off her own explosive trap and snapped her left hand off upon impact.

The final 5 were Kinnik Fargaze (D5), TheItalianMan (D6), Cornelia Street (D8), Thelonious (D10), and Lladdix Everdeen (D12). The Gamemakers summoned the tributes to the Cornucopia. If they didn't arrive on time their tracker would explode and would kill them. They had five minutes.

Most made it to the cornucopia early. Kinnik caught Thelonious by surprise and easily impaled by Kinnik's long-sword. At the end of five minutes, the District 6 tribute was not in proximity to the Cornucopia and the right side of his body exploded. Cornelia charged at Lladdix for a quick kill, but Lladdix was ready. Lladdix hoisted his snapped hand as Cornelia's blade was caught in Lladdix's arm. Lladdix, wincing in pain, took her sword and stabbed Cornelia in the gut and twisted the blade. Cornelia screamed so loud you could hear her once angelic voice across the arena. Cornelia freed her sword and poised it in front of her. When Cornelia fell, she impaled Lladdix in the head with her sword.

Kinnik came around to the other side of the Cornucopia and gazed upon Lladdix in pain. He knew she would die slowly and painfully. She looked up at Kinnik. He showed remorse, took his blade, and decapitated her--ending her suffering. Kinnik was declared victor of the 21st Hunger Games.

## Reception

The 21st Hunger Games had an exciting beginning but steadily became boring. Things picked up at the beginning of the feast and had a phenomenal Deathmatch between the five tributes.
