Deadly Waves - The 26th Hunger Games

Part 1 - Chapter 5

As we entered the majestic building, we were greeted by a gentle scent and soft music wafting through the Capitol's airy corridors. A woman approached us with graceful steps. She exuded a certain authority and her face was familiar to me - Mags. She was a liaison between the districts and the Capitol, a key figure in our mission.

"Likes..." I murmured, and she nodded at us in a friendly manner.

"Percy and Marya?" Her voice was warm and inviting.

We confirmed her suspicions with a nod.

"I'm Percy and this is Marya," I introduced us. Mags gave me an amused smile before leading us down the hallway, with a glass elevator waiting for us in the distance. This was no ordinary wooden elevator like I knew from my district. No, this was a glass masterpiece that reflected the elegance and luxury of the Capitol.

"I'll take you to your room where you can freshen up. Afterwards we'll have lunch together and start planning. Time is of the essence," explained Mags as we entered the elevator.

I stared in fascination at the endless glass walls of the elevator, revealing the breathtaking architecture of the Capitol. The city stretched to the horizon in all its splendor and grandeur, and I couldn't even see the end.

"As always, the harvest is evenly split. Districts 1 and 2 each have 17 year olds, but there are also 12 and 14 year olds. So you're good on average," Mags continued to explain as we exited the elevator and through the the luxurious hallways of the Capitol.
After Mags led us to our suite, Marya and I entered the spacious rooms. The room was large and luxuriously furnished, with opulent furnishings and ornate decorations that reflected the splendor of the Capitol.

While Marya entered the bathroom to freshen up, I began exploring the suite. Large windows let in the light of the Capitol and offered breathtaking views of the city. I still couldn't believe how big the Capitol was and how far it stretched.

After changing, I stepped out onto the balcony and let my gaze wander over the glittering city lights. It was an overwhelming sight that overwhelmed my senses and sent my thoughts wandering in all directions.

When Marya returned from the bathroom, I smiled at her.
The room was spacious and equipped with everything you could imagine. A large, marble bathtub sat at the center of the room, flanked by gleaming sinks and a luxurious shower area.

I let the warm water run into the tub and enjoyed the pleasant warmth that settled over my body. The scent of exotic flowers and spices filled the room and helped me relax. As I slowly sank under the water, I let the stress and tension of the past few days fall away.

After thoroughly washing and refreshing myself, I dried myself and put on the fresh clothes Mags had provided for us. They felt soft and luxurious on my skin and fit perfectly with the elegant atmosphere of the Capitol.

When I stepped out of the bathroom I felt refreshed and ready for the challenges ahead. It was time to join Marya and have lunch with Mags before we started planning.
After freshening up, I stepped out of the bathroom and found Marya already finished. She smiled at me and we exchanged a brief look that reflected our determination for the task ahead.

"How are you feeling, Percy?" Marya asked as we made our way to the dining room.

"I feel ready," I replied, placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "And you?"

Marya nodded resolutely. "I'm ready too."

We entered the dining room where Mags was already waiting for us. She smiled as we sat down across from her.

"You look good," she remarked, giving us both an appreciative look. "I hope you're ready for what lies ahead."

We nodded in agreement and Mags began to discuss the details of our upcoming mission, The Hunger Games. while we enjoyed lunch together. Time was short, but I was determined to complete the task and win the games
