8th Games

This year's games were the first to feature spears as weapons, which came in very handy for the victor

This years victor was Justus al-Fayed, age 17, from District 2. The arena set in the same old amphitheater. The weather was sunny with some rain, and lasted for 2 days and 58 minutes.

Justus managed to grab a spear, but immediately ran up through the seating area and decided to watch the unfolding events from this vantage point. It was from here that he saw several of the strong competitors wipe each other out within the first five minutes.

Justus decided to rest on one of the higher beams of the ruins at the top of the arena. Although some other tributes spotted him, it was virtually impossible for them to target Justus without him having the opportunity to kill them with his longer spear or without them being spotted by other big threats in the arena.

Justus decided to sleep in this relatively safe position during the day, whilst the other tributes roamed around the arena. However at night, he came out and killed many tributes as they slept. Overall, he managed to kill ten of his competitors over the two nights.

As the rain came down, Justus ventured inside the tunnels and when there was just he and Magnolia (11) remaining, she snuck up on him and disarmed him before stabbing him in the shoulder, but Justus managed to overpower her and he eye-gouged her until she died.

Upon returning to District 2, Justus taught other tributes in his district how to right and use swords, in case they were ever reaped for the games. He later went on to open a security company for The Capitol.
