Illusions of Beauty: Syot

by Mads515

"Nothing is more exciting than a deadly trap masked by a beautiful illusion." After 9 years of Hunger Games, capitolites have turned the slaughter into a spectacle. Victors have become celebrities, wealthy districts have begun training to increase their chance of winning, citizens no longer see it as punishment for the districts, but a privilege- and the 10th games an event to see.

The city buzzed with excitement. Shoppers shuffled through the pristine streets with shopping bags filled to the brim with party supplies. Light poles were draped in colorful banners, and every electronic billboard advertised what was going to be the grandest occasion in all of Panem- The 10th Annual Hunger Games. For weeks the local news stations had reported updates on what the capitolites could expect from this year's games. Considering it was the tenth anniversary, the games were supposed to be more magnificent than any year yet. Tomorrow the readings would occur, and the celebration could begin.

While the other citizens bustled about the town, the head game maker meandered about this year's arena, inspecting every inch of it with a critical eye. From the cornucopia he could see the enchanted forest he'd created over the past year. A grand grand snow capped mountain loomed over the arena as if it were President Lennox himself. In every direction, the mystical woods beckoned him in. The entire arena smelled like the sweetest roses. Sparse, lavender fog hung low in the air. Flower- speckled vines crept up large oak and willow trees. It was beautiful.

After months of planning and preparing, the arena was complete. In a few short days, children aged 12 to 18 would scour this arena, looking for safety... and hopefully each other. Satisfied with his work, the game maker called for a hovercraft on his phone, and notified President Lennox that the arena would be one the people would never forget.

"You know, I hope you're right," replied President Lennox, "Nothing is more exciting than a deadly trap masked by a beautiful illusion."

A/n: This is my first SYOT so bear with me guys as I figure out how I want to do this. The reaping chapters will be a bit shorter just because in my opinion 12 chapters of reaping begins to get redundant. Now for the good stuff; the rules.

1. ONLY SUBMIT TRIBUTES BY PM! IF YOU SUBMIT IN THE REVIEWS I WILL NOT COUNT YOUR TRIBUTE.
