The Hunger Games: Victors Retold

by ThreshHG

Inspired by The Victor’s Project by Oisin55 and Tales of the Hunger Games by Christian Blanco, The Hunger Games:Victors Retold tells the stories of all 75 victors of the Hunger Games, both canon and non-canon. Most chapters are around 500 words, which is perfect for any Hunger Games fans looking for a quick look into the archives of Panem.

3. Myron Vint

District 1 sent 4 puny golden-haired teens into the games that never returned, all of them dying within the first 10 minutes of the games. There were no grand funerals, nothing honourable to celebrate the deaths of children. For those first two years, nothing really separated the opulent district from the poverty-ridden outer regions. And as yet another skinny twelve year old was selected, it looked like nothing would change the luxury district's fortunes. However, Myron Vint had a different idea.

Myron Vint volunteered.

Perfection incarnate, with flowing blonde locks, deep blue eyes, and an athletic build, the 18-year-old was a sure favourite to win. He filled the desperate eyes of those he knew with hope, a hope that had been missing since the Dark Days. Myron restored the hope that his district relied on to survive the war, and replaced it with utter glory.

His presence alone was enough to kill a tribute stood next to him, their fear of him causing them to faint and be shot by a peacekeeper for leaving their podium too early.

That was far from the only kill achieved by Myron in the bloodbath though, as he reached the pile of weapons first and managed to guard them from the other tributes, stabbing the girls from 11 and 8 to death along the way.

He allied with his small yet agile district partner, Cordelia, when it became clear that most other tributes were hiding in the narrow crawlspaces of the Arena. They devised a strategy where Cordelia would chase tributes out of their hiding spaces and into the bloodthirsty hands of the eventual victor. This worked brilliantly, resulting in the deaths of nine shared between the pair.

Meanwhile, the huge farmhand from 10 had been this year's solo killer, ending the lives of six. The boy was,however,unaware of Cordelia's rapid knife ambush, and fell to the ground bleeding heavily. The citizens of District 10 would unfortunately have to wait a further 16 years for their first victor.

By this time, Myron had realised that they were the only three tributes remaining, and managed to behead his district partner the moment that the 10 boy collapsed, attacking with a mighty axe swipe to bring home victory.

Myron was a victor of many firsts: the first to volunteer, the first to win by killing their district partner, the first to have a statue constructed of themselves, and the first to create a Training Academy in their district. Being from the first district, many believe these statistics suited Mr. Vint well.

Victor 3: Myron Vint, age 18, from District 1. 7 kills.
