AN: Here is Chapter 1.

I do not own Avatar: the Last Airbender, The Last Airbender: The Legend of Korra, or the Hunger Games Trilogy.

"Korra wake up! Today's the day," Grandpa yelled from the other room.

I get out of bed and look at my clock: 8:00. Two hours before the reaping. I go into the other room for breakfast.

"Toast," says Grandpa.

"I can see that," I respond.

"Eat quickly and get your formal robes. If you're good I just might get a treat after the reaping."

"Cake?"

"Yep. We can invite the boy from next door and his family. I know you fancy him."

"I do not," I say, blushing.

"Liar," Grandpa says flatly.

"I don't have a chance with Sakari anyway," I state, taking a bite of my toast.

"Don't say that. You're a special girl and I'm certain he's noticed."

"It doesn't matter," I say, finishing my toast.

"I guess not. Go get ready while I put the dishes away."

I exit the room and enter my bedroom. The robes are old; they belonged to Grandpa's niece many years ago, before the reaping took her. They're a beautiful blue with orange red runes on the back and sides. The symbol that represented the Water Tribes rests on the left sleeve. The Fire Nation symbol lays on the opposite side. The sandals on my feet are made entirely of wood. The weather watchers don't think there will be a sandstorm today but I'll bring my cloak just in case.

I walk back into the other room to find Sakari and his family. His parents are talking to Grandpa. Sakari speaks to me.

"Hi Korra."

"Hi," I respond.

"Sangok invited us in so we could walk with you to the reaping."

"Cool. We should probably get going now," I say loudly so Grandpa can hear it.

"Okay Korra," Grandpa says in reply.

As we walk towards Town Square we see all the other families on their way. Everyone is required to watch, and all kids ages twelve to eighteen years old are required to enter.

We arrive at Town Square to find it nearly full. Sakari and I split away to join the other kids. I look up at the stage and see two men who must be the mentors. One is an elderly man who looks like he has to pee and the other is a middle aged man with a large brown beard and grey eyes.

At that moment Joo Dee walks onto the stage. She's dressed in simple green robes and has long brown hair. Her face is locked in it's perpetual smile but her eyes show the usual unhappiness outsiders and new residents show here. A parasol rests unused in her bag. Its frilly and pink.

"Good morning District 10," announces the mayor from the podium. "Today is the day we've all been anticipating for weeks. The day you find out which two lucky kids will fight for glory and honor in the 70th annual Hunger Games. Seventy-five years ago the great and powerful Fire Nation burnt the Earth Kingdom to the ground and the Avatar failed to stop them. Because his body was never recovered we don't know if he survived, but it doesn't matter, not anymore. From there the Fire Nation conquered the Water Tribes and gained dominion over everything. There was rebellion in what was left of the world so Phoenix King Ozai devised a solution: the Hunger Games. He chose two children from each district and placed them in an arena with eight children of traitors from his nation. Since then there has not been a single uprising among you. And that is the story of how we achieved world peace. Now Joo Dee will begin the reaping."

It's the same as every year. The mayor gives his spiel about how the Hunger Games are justified and that its somehow an honor to fight in them. It makes me sick. Joo Dee is about to begin with the reaping.

"Hello I'm Joo Dee." She speaks with her usual smile. "It's my honor to guide the tributes to United Republic and to the Hunger Games. May the odds be ever in your favor."

That phrase took on a new meaning after it was first said. They say it was a sarcastic comment made by the male District 12 tribute from the first games.

"We'll start with the girls. And our first tribute is..."

I can feel the dread and anticipation building inside me.

"Korra."

I smile to myself, these games will be easy.

AN: I'll post Chapter 2 in a week or when this story hits ten reviews.
