Happy Thanksgiving! I hope all of you enjoy this chapter, though it may be small, and eat tons of food!


Interlude:

"Hello, my lucky tributes!" I said into the camera. "This year you have been chosen to be in the Fourth Quarter Quell. You may wonder what this year's special twist is. And I will tell you. But first I just wanted to congratulate you on making it onto this very special year."

I dramatically drew a card out of a small white box.

"This year, to show how powerful the Capitol is, each district will be given a Greek god, and will have their special power. District One is Aphrodite, goddess of love and beauty. District Two is Ares, god of war. Three is Athena, goddess of wisdom. Four is Poseidon, god of the sea. Five is Zeus, the god of electricity. Six is Hermes, the messenger god. Seven is Artemis, the goddess of the moon. Eight is Apollo, god of the sun. Nine is Demeter, goddess of grain. Ten is Hades, god of the Underworld. Eleven is Dionysus, god of comedy and tragedy. And last, but not least, District Twelve is Hephaestus, god of fire. Each tribute will receive a packet detailing their special power. I wish all tributes good luck. May the odds ever be in your favor!"
