## 57th Games

### Before the Games

Trillium knew that the games wasn't about survival of the fittest, it was about pleasing The Capitol. He decided to show his strengths with a scalpel chain the deadliest weapon available. He broke records in the simulation chamber for getting to the highest levels and was able to get a training score of 10 (Only reason it wasn't 11 was because he wasn't a career)

### The Games

Bloodbath: In the bloodbath with a Cornucopia the design of a Japanese pagoda he decided to stay clear and hide out in some bushes near by and waited for everyone to leave. When the careers left with their stuff Trillium raided the rest of the pagoda taking food, a water canteen, the scalpel chain and a couple extra knives but before he could do that he was attacked by the D2M sent by the careers. Trillium overpowered him with only a small knife and killed him.

Day 1: When Trillium was out in the garden hiding out by the bridge he discovered that the birds had razor sharp beaks and would attack anyone in sight when he saw it happen, to his district partner.

Day 2-6: No deaths occurred and that's when the Gamemakers decided to change it up.

Day 7: The arena crawled with beetles that had poison venom and dangerous pinchers. Trillium was attacked by them in the night, leaving him with a mangled left leg. Luckily, Trillium discovered that same night that water would easily wash out and render the poision useless. He bathed himself, saving his life but knowing he would eventually lose his leg. Due to the beetles 3 tributes died leaving Trillium, D1F, D3F, D10M, D10F and D11M.

Day 8: Trillium got multiple sponsors on the same day because he wasn't able to walk with the mangled leg. He received a pack of throwing knives, bandages and one single crutch to help walk. Trillium hid up in a cherry tree for the rest of the day and used his throwing knives to kill the D3F and D11M.

Day 9: The D1F was killed by the D10 pair leaving Trillium outnumbered 2-1 with no other outsiders.

Day 10-13: No deaths occured but Trillium makes his way slowly toward the pagoda.

Day 14: The D10M killed his district partner after she received a bad infection and wanted the pain to go away. D10M then went to the pagoda to finish Trillium. Trillium got chased by him and was able to get to the carnivorous birds leading the D10M to them. Trillium won that games after the birds left him for dead and Trillium killed him with the scalpel chain as the mercy blow.

### Aftermath

Immediately after winning the Games, Trillium went into surgery to have his left leg amputated. He recieved a prosthetic leg and was able to return home to District 9 shortly after.

A couple years after his Games, Trillium met Cora Gates, and the two married.

Trillium stayed out of the Capitol spotlight and tended to keep a low profile each year when sent to the Capitol to mentor. Trillium is known as a famously bad mentor and hasn't coached a tribute to Victory.

Trillium was more focused on his wife and starting a family, and his selfish attitude led to many in the Capitol to not like him.

## 75th Games

### Before the Games

Alastair was reaped into the 75th Hunger Games. The quell "twist" that year required the tributes to be reaped from the existing pool of Victors. The tributes didn't know it at the time, but President Snow rigged the Quell to silence rebellious Victors. Trillium was targeted by the Capitol for no other reason than the *possibility* he might rebel. The only other male was Miller Parsons, the oldest living Victor and a vocal supporter of the Capitol.

Trillium's interview was seemingly bizarre. He admitted defeat and told Caesar he expected to die. This was unpopular with the Capitol. [1].
