Sage challenged the Capitol's cowardice with steel gleaming in the sunlight. They were all hypocrites, demanding a fight that they outright refused to join. The lack of basic human empathy was astounding. They continued to toss food and drinks at children because they refused to die. It was surreal, a parody, yet Sage knew it wasn't a nightmare nor a fantasy. This was a reality and a death sentence. The tributes were merely postponing it with their stubborness, and Sage would feed into it until their heart stopped beating.
The confidence surging through Sage's chest was short-lived. Screams erupted behind them, and they were met with the horrifying sight of blood - the very thing they wanted to avoid. There was a beast among the humans, a lion of all creatures, and Sage felt their blood boil. Of course the Capitol would find a way around everything. There was always a trick, always something clever up their sleeve. Fucking assholes.
Sage couldn't bear to listen to any cheering in the crowd. It was disgusting, humiliating. Instead, they gripped their sword tighter and watch the lion make its rounds, biting and slashing at kids who didn't want to fight back. One kid in particular caught their eye - a boy, couldn't be much younger than Sage, who looked scared out of his mind. Sage didn't blame anyone for not wanting to fight a ferocious animal. But somebody had to, right? They couldn't all sit here and let this thing tear children apart.
"Hey, kid!" they rushed forward, creating a barrier between the boy and the creature just in case he didn't pick up his sword. "Get behind me!"
Sage would not sit idly and watch people die. The Capitol didn't deserve to win again and again.
Mom, I'm fucking scared.
They screamed, "STOP RUINING EVERYTHING!" and lunged.
