The Equality Games
I.
Hearing the familiar shout, Rose wakes up, holding her bow and arrow nearby her instinctively. Not until she looks around carefully does she feel relieved, opening her room door and walks out the room. Then, there comes a pair of arms hugs her, it is her brother, Dandelion.
The 20-year-old, pretty girl, all of a sudden, bursts into tears. Her tears keep dropping on her brother's arms, for the nightmare, the familiar shout comes from her mother, Katniss Everdeen, the legendary girl in the Hunger Game about 20 years ago.
Although their parents were died of the old wound both physically and mentally when they were teenagers, they still have a good time getting along and became a sweet family. However, Katniss often has the nightmare and shouted in night upon thinking of her companion's death. She can never forget how she shoot an arrow to Finnick in order to save him from the lizard mutts, how her sister, Prim died right in front of her and she was unable to save her. These massive painful memories and excessive stress all weave Katniss' terrific dreadful nightmare and happens very often even several years have passed by. Peeta knows that well, but to Dandelion and Rose, even though Katniss has explained her nightmare, it still can't comfort Rose and leave an indelible childhood memory. Knowing what has happened to his sister, Dandelion hugs her as usual.
"Take a walk, OK?" he asked.
Rose replies nothing but nods her head slightly.
Walking along the deserted street, they let the breeze brush their hearts gently without saying a word. They both know what they need is each other's companion, no matter now or in the future. After they lose their parents, they know how intimate their bond can be and how terrible the corrupted politics and cruel wars are to people.
In later few months, the Capitol has gone through a great change, which Philip replace Paylor and take over the whole Panem, becoming the new president. Since the later period of Paylor's times, her health was getting worse, she couldn't take care of the important affairs and the whole Panem is lack of a new leader.
Paylor has played an indispensable role and brought the calmness and happiness back to the Panem the people never possessed after she became the new president when Katniss shot President Coin, for knowing her ambition to hold another huger game 20 years ago. In these 20 years, she reformed Panem on a large scale. People were no longer limited and ruled in an autocratic way with a heavy hand. They acquire more freedom than before. Also, Paylor helped the people in District 13 follow their own will to rebuild their homes. They can go to any district chosen by them and utilize their talents to start their new lives.
Therefore, the vacant seat of the president arouses a huge panic among Panem. Philip, who has been loved and respected by the people then ascended. Having promised each district to give them a better life and born in Capitol, Philip is completely supported by almost all people in the country, for his perfect image in front of everybody.
However, no one would expect there's such a deep and strong desire behind this friendly, old man.
