Haymitch Hunger Games Arena Novels & Stories

“Do you accept?” I looked at Pelin. She looked back at me. We were terrified and completely outmatched. But there was no other path forward. “We accept,” we said together. The ground shattered. The world twisted violently, space folding in on itself. My stomach lurched as the temple vanished, replaced by stone and darkness. We hit the ground hard. I gagged, clutching my stomach as the world spun. Pelin collapsed beside me, retching, barely able to breathe. The arena was massive. The same arena Ayşe had showed us earlier. Endless rows of carved stone seats towered above us, filled with a silent illusionary audience of Artemis devoted cult following.

I watched our reflection on the mirror and said our mantra, "We are Maharlikas, we belong to Grass, we are not a trash, give freedom to us." The Launch Rooms are in the catacombs under the so-called Word Arena and are accessed by traversing many underground passages after descending a ladder from the hovercraft that takes tributes to the arena. These passages are presumably labyrinthine in nature in order to prevent tributes from meeting each other under the arena. When Coach Medrano went out of the Launch rooms, I saw a map. The Map of Maharlika Nation. 1 Nation, divided by 26 districts from A to Z. Only 1 district shall remain inside the Word arena. A competition of a lifetime. In which th

Nina got in with her and soon they were on their way to the Arena location. Nina told her that the game takes hours till it gets dark, but she could choose to leave anytime. Althea looked outside the window and saw how busy the market place was. This was just like a festival. She wonders how it will look like when they are actually celebrating a festival, it will surely be more packed and crowded than this. About 30 minutes later they arrived at the Arena.

But tonight it shimmered with banners, golden torches, and hanging lanterns that bathed the entire space in soft crimson light. The stands were filled. Music echoed faintly through the air. Zane leaned closer. “It’s a multipurpose arena.”

“Yes, we won.” As if released from a spell, Stratin slumped to the ground in relief. Ahead of them Fyodan approached. Behind them, Moss lumbered along damaged bones no doubt mending themselves. The amount of reia required to create, and operate such an arena needed to be greatly vast. Here, unlike the arena used for the winter hall fest, death was not circumvented.
