Chapter 2 - The Forewarning
Hundreds years after the incident that destroyed the modern world, lies Panem. A capitol and 12 districts that reformed civilization in the post apocalypse.
In third person, Snow sees himself at the mercy of the districts. The man who once controlled Panem, now stands humiliated before those he had ruled. On the way towards his execution, he saw familiar faces of tributes in the 75th games. Snow somehow knew the games would lead to his inevitable demise. The once all powerful President of the Capitol was now the entertainment. Like the games, millions watched as his execution was on display for everyone to see. Snow saw himself being tied up and dumped into a pool of molten lava.
Snow screamed waking up from his nightmare in agonizing pain. His death was a dream, but it felt so real. In panic, Snow checked if his flesh was still on him and saw it was. He then checked his clock and calendar to realize the 75th games were only days away. Snow never felt so powerless in his entire life.
Soon after hearing Snow scream in terror, his security guards came rushing in.
"Is everything alright?" the guard ask.
Snow replied in frustration, "No, No, NO!" Snow then took a brief sigh letting the desperation sink in. Trying regain his composure Snow let out a furious command, "My orders are to find me the best oracle you can find. I don't care if you have to search the depths of hell to find me one. Do it now!"
"Yes sir, I'll relay your orders," obeyed the guard.
Two days later, a wandering mystic in what appears to be the Gobi desert is approached by a messenger.
The messenger: "There appears to be a request for a sorcerer of the arcane arts like yourself."
The wander reacted with a skepticism, "I don't answer to every meager request that knocks on my door. What makes this request worth my time."
The messenger replied, "The man requesting your audience is not just some common folk, but the ruler of a land. A land that is currently the largest remaining civilization left on earth. It consist of a large city and 12 provinces, I am sure there is something he can offer you that would be worth your while. Rumor has it he has amassed so much power that no one dared oppose him once he became President. It would be an honor if a man of your talents would answer his request."
The wander listened with a look of vested interest, and had a sinister look in his eye.
