Prologue
The country of Fiore was once a nation of peace and prosperity… but that was only for the government. The people were starving and savaging for food, the way of life a tough one for everyone outside the Capital. And it is times like these when people want change - they want a revolt.
Seventy-Four years ago tomorrow, our first rebellion was held. Everyone around Fiore joined to take down the ruthless Capital and start a new era of peace, prosperity and happiness for all of us people. However, things turned sour for the citizens. The Capital sent in their elites - Peacekeepers, who almost eliminated every single man, women, and even child, who stood against the Capital. Weapons of destruction were used, causing death to spread around Fiore, stopping the rebellion.
The citizens lost, the Capital won.
Since that day, the Capital sent the remaining people alive into thirteen districts that spread across the country of Fiore, excluding the Capital were all the wealthy live in perfect happiness. These districts help the Capital survive, giving it what it needs and wants. District One makes the luxury items for the Capital, and is also one of the wealthiest districts; District Two, is the main district for masonry and one of the wealthiest districts. After the first two districts, the other eleven districts are the poorest. District Three produces all the technology for Fiore from computers to televisions; District Four provides the fish, and people who come from there are unbelievably strong; District Five provides the power; nuclear, solar, and electric. District Six provides the transportation to our great nation; District Seven provides the lumber for the Capital, and it has middle-class citizens; District Eight provides all the textiles for the Capital, helping them create their… interesting fashion; District Nine is Fiore's place for grain, producing many grains for our capital; District Ten provides all of our lovely cows to keep the people of Fiore strong; District Eleven is known for it's bountiful orchards of fruit tress, and even sizable farms - the agriculture district; District Twelve - my district - is for Coal Mining, and sadly, is the poorest of all the districts. Lastly, we have District Thirteen, the District that holds all of the nuclear weaponry and does some graphite mining as a minor, but that District is no more.
During the first rebellion, District Thirteen was destroyed by the Capital since they hold the nation's major weapons, and they were afraid they would use it on them; is was the major Military district of Fiore, providing the best soldiers for the Capital. Now it is said (by the Capital, of course) to be uninhabitable with the ruins still smoldered by the chemical bombs dropped on them all those years ago. Its just beyond my district, meaning if anyone were to escape from where I am from, we will be able to get there in a matter of days… that is if no one get's caught by the Peacekeepers first. Young and old have tried, but none were seen again.
From these twelve districts, two people are chosen (male and female) for a game no one wants to play… a game where kids fight to the death in an arena in the Capital of Fiore. There is twenty-four kids sent into the arena, and only one comes out as a victor. This is called The Hunger Games, used as punishment for all the districts as a reminder for the rebellion we lost, sending our kids from the ages twelve to eighteen to kill each other off until one remains.
Which reminds me, the reaping (in every district when it is time for the annual Hunger Games, someone from the Capital who represents each district chooses the names at random to participate in the games) is tomorrow for the Seventy-Fourth Hunger Games. I might as well get some hunting in before the reaping begins.
