Inspired by the Hunger Games. DON'T READ IF YOU HAVEN'T FINISHED THE FIRST BOOK. This is an original poem I wrote about a month ago. I was inspired after reading the Hunger Games and we were studying poetry in English class, specifically ballads. So I wrote a ballad for Rue from District 11 because the emotion in that particular scene was too raw to ignore. Enjoy! Much love, Tiffany

Facing the most powerful man in the Lands armed with nothing but a sword and the hope that she could prevail, was not the direction Akira saw her life going in. After witnessing her family's death she had stayed away from it all, living in hiding. Yet when she discovers that her dragon is a Dragon of Legend and together they are to challenge Haiden, the ruler of the dark Lands, her life plummets into chaos. Taken in by the Academy, where young dragon riders are trained to fight, she must rise up and prove herself worthy of the name of the 'Rider of Legend'. Yet as Akira finds out, fighting for an almost hopeless cause when no one believes in you, is not easy. With all odds stacked against them, Akira and her dragon must fight for their own lives as well as try to fulfill all expectations and free the Lands from a tyrant's rule once and for all.
