I am ready. The fifth Quarter Quell is about to be announced, and of course I know what it is. I, in actuality, searched through all the cards to find the perfect one for this year. Everyone will be shocked when I read it to the entire country.
"And now," the announcer, Soren Wylle, says. "Welcome your president, Mairi Fallow!"
I walk onto the stage, acknowledging the thunderous applause of the Capitolite audience assembled to learn of this years twist. "Thank you," I say, silencing the roaring crowd. "Let's begin. In the beginning of the Hunger Games, the creators ordained that after every twenty-five Games there would be a Quarter Quell, to keep the rebellion fresh in the district's minds and to celebrate Panem's prosperity. During the first Quell, the districts were to vote on who would enter the arena, to remind them that it was their choice to engage in war."
The crowd nods at this, remembering. That was the year that 14 year old Syara Hamilton won. She was from District Nine, and many expected her to die early.
I continue. "In the second Quell, to remind the districts that two district citizens died for every Capitol citizen, the districts were to send twice as many tributes as usual."
District Twelve saw its second victor that year, with Haymitch Abernathy. He hadn't seemed to be much different than many of the 12 boys, so it was surprising when he won. Sadly, he turned to drink soon after his Victory Tour.
I quickly get through the third Quell, which was to reap only those between the ages of nine to fourteen, and the fourth, which was to have two separate Games, with the girls in one and boys in another. The victors of both were then made to fight each other.
"And now, we begin the celebration of the fifth Quell," I say. I pull the alloted card from the box, took the card from the envelope, and read. "For the fifth Quarter Quell, to remind the districts that the young are not spared from war, one boy and girl from each district between seven and eleven years old will be reaped in addition to tbe normal twenty-four. They will be paired with the girl or boy from their own district of their gender. If both survive to the end, both may win."
Finally done, I replaced the card. The crowd roared its approval. Every one of them was eager to see these forty-eight children die, each in a more gruesome way than the last.
I fully intended to give them what they wanted.
Hey! So, I'm creating a SYOT. Its going to be fairly simple, and I hope you all enjoy.
A few notes, before I give you the template. You all will only be able to create characters for the 12-18 year olds. This is to save the story from being riddled with sweet innocent seven year olds without a care in the world except rainbows and butterflies. You will be able to give their name and age, but thats all.
Your child CANNOT be a relation, unless you message me at my email, which I will disclose at the end.
With that, here is your template.
