Seneca Crane stroked his (rather darn awesome) beard absentmindedly. President Snow had personally requested this particular arena. It was an incredibly over-used idea, but it was his test. As Vice-Head Gamemaker, this was it for him. If he got this right, he'd be Head Gamemaker. Head Gamemaker! President Snow had requested an urban arena. Which Seneca could have done two ways. One, re-created the Capitol or districts, or he could have thought outside the box. Which he did. Seneca recalled his mission he'd given to 8 of the Junior Gamemakers, along with a promise of a promotion to Gamemaker, and it was to journey to lands not traversed by humans for millennia, to find and locate the four pre-ancient civilizations of Mexico, Egypt, Greece and Italy. The cities targeted by the eight were Tenochtitlan, the Aztec civilization's home; Thebes, the original capital of Egypt and home to the Egyptians; Athens, capital of Greece and home to the Ancient Greeks and Rome, the capital of Italy and home to the Ancient Romans. They had been sent out to gather information on the way the people of the civilization lived, the way they survived, protection, myths, legends, weapons, foods, even the layout of the buildings. He wanted everything. He was to create an awesome hybrid of four different pre-ancient civilizations, a city that was built on the foundations of the past, to utilize the faiths and cultures, myths and legends, to create the ultimate arena. Seneca was going the History route. He was very pleased with the outcome. Clapping his hands together, he called the Muttation team over. "All right, welcome back. What we're looking for is something based on some of the greater myths of Tenochtitlan…" After having briefed the Muttation team, he went around and briefed the other teams. Finally he went back to his front pedestal, and began by saying, "Welcome back. Every project has a name, every single one of the Gamemaker Arenas have had names. What will it be this year?" A man at the back put his hand up and said, "Sir, as there are 4 cities on focus, but really, only one has a lot of showing in the finished arena. Tenochtitlan. So, I think it should be called Tenochtitlan's Traps." Seneca stopped. "Yes. Tenochtitlan's Traps. Perfect."
A.N. So! First chapter up! Yay!
