Chapter 1: Pity

Anticipation coursed through his veins. His heart beating madly, feeling like a wild dog trying to break free of the confine that was his chest. He watched the richly clad woman swirling her hand tantalizingly through the fish bowl of names. "Come on, just hurry it up." he thought to himself, his impatience bubbling up. He stole a glance at his competition; the boys aged from twelve to eighteen around him, as they too surveyed their opposition, sharing in his eagerness. Silence draped over the crowd as the woman leisurely pulled her hand from the jar and read the single name on the thin strip of paper.

"Thor Odinson" she read loudly, her voice echoed, chanting his name in his ears. His name, he had been picked. These four words repeated, they were his very own mantra, in his mind, his eyes widening and brightening as warmth traveled though his body. The jealous boys around him glared him down but he did not flinch, he ignored their envy filled gazes, to look at other eyes that were finding him in the crowd. Slowly they fell upon him, eyes all the same, the man from the barbers, the lady from his school, the baker and his wife, they all reflected the same emotion, but it is one he does not quite understand. Why were they not looking on him proudly? Why instead this emotion of… he could not place it, it was one he had never seen before. Brushing it off he returned his gaze to the announcer, a large tooth filled smile spreading across his face, matching the one on her own. Gleefully, like a young boy on his way to the candy store, he strolled to the stage.

Hushed whispers followed him, from friends, family and even strangers, everyone knew Thor Odinson. People glanced at his father who, once a proud tall standing man, was hunched, looking on with grief stricken eyes, that aged him many years, as he held his wife who had all but collapsed as her only son's name had rung out over the gathered crowd.

Thor saw none of this; his mind was presently preoccupied by the multitude of fantasies playing out in his head. Him brandishing his weapon or hand high in the air as the final cannon sounded indicating his victory, or maybe he would be rising from a watery battle while storms struck lighting around him in victory. Although each fantasy had slightly different details, they all ended the same; him winning the Games. How it would look, majestic of course. How he would win, because he would win. He had been waiting for this day for so long, this would have been his last year to get this honor, finally he would be able to represent the strength of District Two to the world and prove to his father he was a worthy son.

Briefly, he glanced at his fellow tribute; she was a beautiful strong looking girl. Sif was her name, if his memory served him, he flashed her a dashing smile, she looked back her own magnificent and confident smile flashed back at him with a small nod. He reached his spot on the stage, retina burning lights pointed directly into his face blocking his view of the crowd. He would be the victor this year, nothing would stop him. He thought as he looked over the invisible crowd raising his arms, gaining him a loud applause and forced cheers of bravo, and then he looked directly into the cameras and smiled his most glorious smile.
