Atlantis

by mockinjay14

Peeta Mellark has spent his whole life obsessing over the lost City of Atlantis. When the opportunity to find this mysterious empire arises, he simply can't refuse the offer. But what will he find when he reaches the ancient city? Or more importantly- what will find him? Based off of Atlantis: The Lost Empire. I don't own The Hunger Games, Atlantis, or any characters.

Prologue

"...in a single day and night of misfortune, the island of Atlantis disappeared into the depths of the sea." - Plato, 360 B.C.

My name is Katniss Everdeen, I am eighty eight hundred years old. I am Queen of Atlantis, a lost empire hidden from the rest of the world. You might ask yourself how it could be possible for me to be alive today, how it's possible for anyone in Atlantis to be alive... Our culture is preserved, thanks to an ancient secret. A secret that has been kept from my people for many years. My father thought it was for the best. He only ever wanted to protect me. I was the only thing he cared about after the day everything changed.

I was a young girl that fateful day. The day started out uneventful. Nobody could have guessed that something that would completely change our way of life forever would happen that day. But it did. A beam of light came down from the heavens, and a gigantic wave emerged from the calm waters, the wave that everyone thought would destroy us. At the time the news reached the city, my parents- the King and Queen- had accompanied me on a day trip to visit the common folk. They were humble rulers who loved the company of their people, and wished for me to grow up without feeling superior to them. We were donating some of our riches when the bells started ringing and people ran to the shelters. My mother grabbed my hand and ran. At some point I dropped my favorite doll. She had beautiful black hair and olive skin. I stopped to retrieve the doll but my mother pulled me along. "There's no time,"

That was when the second beam of light shined down, this time onto my mother. I remember watching her slowly ascend into the sky, toward a bright light in the sky. She gripped onto a bracelet I had been wearing at the time, and it slipped off of my small wrist. "Mother!" I screamed. "Mother!"

That's when my father rushed to my side, pulling me into his arms. "Close your eyes," He told me as a shield of energy formed around the city. "Look away."

That was the day Atlantis sunk into the waters. That was the last day I saw the sun. That was the day everything changed.

This summer I watched Atlantis: The Lost Empire for the first time, and I knew just by watching the first ten minutes I had to make this a Hunger Games fanfiction. Atlantis has become my favorite Disney movie, I highly recommend it. You guys have no idea how many times I've watched it since then and I still adore it. I will use a lot of direct quotes from the movie, and I hope you enjoy.
