19th Hunger Games

## Arena

The 19th Hunger Games was set in an archipelago with the main island being surrounded with beautiful coral reefs. On this island, there was a crater overtaken by nature which is where the Cornucopia was placed. A river spiraled down to the Cornucopia as tall mountains, hills and one volcano surrounded the island. From within, there was a series of caves leading to a central room--covered in ores of gold and emerald. For most of the time, there were torrents of downpours over the lush island.

## Synopsis

The Tributes were surprised entering the arena with the Cornucopia located at the center of the crater--meaning that the Gamemakers wanted a bloodbath more these Games than last. Unfortunately, when the Games began there was no bloodbath as teams were amassed throughout most of the tributes. Two central groups were formed with one running to the Cornucopia and the other running away. The Gamemakers were upset by this and began to devise a way to remind the tributes that all but 1 must die.

The larger teams began to split when District 2's tribute, QweenOfHell, claimed first blood--killing the District 8 tribute TVVasassin. Various groups were met with small lizards that quickly mutated and became several times larger, with several rows of teeth and an insatiable hunger. By nightfall on the first night, half of the tributes were dead.

The sun began to rise on Day 2 of the Games. A thick fog swept through the valleys and caused painful ulcers to form on the tributes' bodies. The Gamemakers were sure that no one was to die but were severely weakened. Some began to hide in trees but were reminded not to hide as swarms of birds started poking at their skin with their razor-sharp beaks.

A feast was declared at the volcano near the edge of the arena. The final District 8 tribute, Lavure, circled it and examined it. When no one came, mutts charred with burning embers rose from the volcano and began throwing fireballs. He jumped from his hiding spot, snatched ALL of the items from the feast and ran away.

The Final 4 were KrabimannBardo (D3), T92 (D3), Meadow Heavenfall (D7), and Lavure (D8). When the final 4 were announced, Lavure threw a knife at Krab's head--impaling him. The ground began to shake and rumble as the rain turned into a violent thunderstorm. A typhoon was approaching the arena. The tributes were forced to retreat into the caverns below. At one of the entrances, Lavure set a trap for Meadow but accidentally blew himself up, scarring the left side of his face. His wail of pain was heard throughout the caverns and made Meadow and T92 believe he was no longer a threat.

T92 hid on the outside of the caverns and set a dummy at the Cornucopia to lure Meadow out. T92's biggest mistake was not expecting Meadow to be outside of the caverns. Meadow began to sneak up on T92 with a knife. When T92 heard her and turned around it was already too late; Meadow slashed his neck--killing him. Meadow heard a growl come from the cave that sounded not human. She readied herself with a knife, facing the cavern, but was shocked when she saw Lavure charging at her. Meadow dodged all attacks until she took a misstep and fell backwards. When she recovered, the found Lavures Longsword embedded within her chest. Lavure was declared the Victor of the 19th Hunger Games.

## Reception

The 19th Hunger Games had a boring start, but quickly got exciting during the middle of the Games. The Capitol disliked the fact that there were large teams and they were camping and playing it "too safe". It had an average ending. The Gamemaker Committee promised the critics that there will definitely not be a boring beginning on the 20th Hunger Games.
