Zedphire Tomliss POV
I set down my pencil. Perfect.
I've been up all night working on the arena plans. Now, it's safe to say I can present it to the president.
I roll up the blue prints and tie them into a scroll. This is perfect. Absolutely perfect. I get up to walk to the presidents office.
The corridor is long and dark, the walls lined with photos. On the left, there are photos of the past Head Gamemakers. I recognise the dusty portraits of Seneca Crane and Plutarch Heavensbee. My face will be on that wall after these Games. On the right wall are the pictures of presidents.
Coriolanus Snow. Alma Coin. Paylor. And, now there is Jupiter Stone.
I reach President Stone's creaky wooden door and knock. The name plate bounces on the door.
"You may enter, Zedphire."
Stone's cold, tight voice send shivers up my spine. He's always scared me a bit. I breathe deep and open the door, clutching the scroll.
"Good evening." the president says in his chilling voice.
"Yes, good evening." I say, trying not to let my voice shake.
"And you are here because?"
"I've sketched the arena, and I'm ready to present it."
"Go on." Stone says, motioning for me to sit across for him. He puts up a finger for e to wait a moment as he types something on the old computer keyboard and closes it.
"Okay, you may begin, Zedphire."
"Yes sir." I breathe in some of the dust filled air and unroll the blue prints.
"Okay. You see, the tributes will start underground. They are on their metal plates-" I start running my finger along the prints. "Behind them is a dead end, and in front of them they have an aproximately one hundred fifty meter dark tunnel leading to the Cornucopia. In the tunnel, there are also some other passageways leading away from the Cornucopia, each leading a different way, but there is a very real chance that two tunnels can meet up." I explain, then stop for breath. Stone is nodding, a good sign.
"The Cornucopia will have various items- food, water, weapons, and very importantly, flashlights. There will also be a can or two of mutt repellent. There are various tunnels and stairs leading away from the Cornucopia." I continue, then stop for a drink of water.
"There are four floors. The first is the 'Cornucopia Room', the second is a maze, the third is full of mutts. You know how I enjoy those. And the fourth.. the fourth is an above ground garden, with crystalline streams and vibratly colored berries. That are all poison. The floors start off big, then get smaller as they go. The above ground floor is the garden, then about a mile's distance from it is a mountain. At least, it looks like a mountain. It's an active volcano." I finish.
Stone nods. "Very well, Zedphire. Pretty impressive for a first year." He reaches for the scroll and I hand it to him.
"Now go. You are dismissed."
Do you like the arena? Remember, you can only tell me that if you review! *hint, hint*
I hope you like it, I'm excited!
