President Neithe's voice rings out over the rooftops of Panem.
"Welcome, welcome! Happy Hunger Games!" The Capitol crowd erupts with excitement and bolstered energy. He liufts his hand, and almost immediatly the crowd falls silent. Breathless. Awaiting his next words.
"This is the fourth Quarter Quell - a reminder to all of the rebels, and citizens that the Capitol is stronger than they are. It is also the 100th year of the Hunger Games in its entirety. Therefore, the arena will be designed to test the tributes strenghts ... and weaknesses."
The Capitol cheers and screams. 100 years of their favorite show, sport and activity.
In the districts, there is an eery silence in almost every home and village. What will ths mean for their children, their families and loved ones?
President Neithe declares witha final flourish, "May the odds be ever in your favor! We'll see you in a month for the 100th Hunger Games!"
