PAST ARENAS: 62ND ANNUAL HUNGER GAMES
The 62nd Annual Hunger Games were bathed in almost total darkness. When the tributes first entered the arena the moon was high in the sky, allowing them to see a wooded area that surrounded them, but as hours passed and the bloodbath ended the moon dipped below the horizon and made it horribly difficult to see. Without night vision glasses many had to hide out and wait until the moon circled around again, or build fires and carry flaming sticks around with them, before braving the unknown parts of the arena. Even after hours it was as though their eyes would never adjust to the darkness and tributes were constantly on edge for muttations that never seemed to appear. Those who built fires were easily hunted by the careers, a tough pack this year like many others. They hadn’t needed to build fires and signal their location because of the night vision glasses they found in the Cornucopia. This year was when Enobaria from District 2 was in the Games. She had volunteered, having trained years for her trip to the arena and eager to compete. Enobaria was a crowd favorite from the beginning due to her good looks and overwhelming coldness toward the other competitors. She was ruthless and cruel and when it came time for the career pack to disband after they’d killed everyone else she didn’t wait the full hour they’d agreed on before she started hunting them. Enobaria made it to the final two when her chances started to look grim. The girl from District 1 had her in a headlock and most people had no idea where things would go from there – that was when Enobaria turned her head and bit the throat of the girl, tearing it out and killing her. The final kill was so powerful and wildly popular in the Capitol that once Enobaria had her mouth redone so all of her teeth were sharpened into points and inlaid with gold. Even after her win Enobaria was ruthless and eager to return to the arena. (insp.)
