The five factions were demolished to put an end to the wars started by Jeanine Matthews, costing the life of many. Another rebellion occurred, with the Erudite setting up the faction system once more. The Erudite especially were pleased with their work. They had helped organize the army to defeat those outside the fence, and now, their society was living in peace again. Then, another problem arose from the middle of nowhere.
They were known as the Divergent.
Their very existence sent the Erudite sprawling for ways to control them. It wasn't until a few years ago, the Erudite leader decided to eliminate their very existence. There were too many of them and too many for them to handle. He continued on teaching to the next Erudite leader in line who quickly grasped his knowledge and led on what was known as the yearly entertainment, the Divergent Games.
Each year, as the sixteen year olds took their aptitude tests, an Erudite would be sent to watch their tests. That way, no Divergent would be able to escape by a simple change in test results. No one was brave enough to change the test results; not even the Dauntless. It could result in punishment that could end in death.
The very same year, those sixteen year olds who were Divergent were thrown into an arena to fight to the death. The winning Divergent, the victor, the last one standing, would be returned to their home faction. They would be watched closely for the next few years, but they would allowed to live. However, because they were allowed to live, whichever Divergent came next from their faction, they would have to be mentors, helping the next Divergent go through the process of the Games. But almost every victor ended dead before the Choosing Ceremony.
Now, the Divergent Games are run by none other than the Erudite leader. She has hatred against Divergent and no one knows why. She claims they ruin the factions by not following the rules and resisting any attempt of fitting in. She says that they must all die. She makes the Games more vicious each year, doing her very best to eliminate all Divergent.
It's time for the Divergent Games to begin.
