Here’s what you have to do, we want you to send us in two names. We want your opinion on who will be the highest scoring male and female tributes in the training sessions that will take place in a few days. So please, send in the name of a single male and a single female tribute in order to be in with the chance to win a very, very special prize!
We are asking that there is only one entry per person and all entries must be sent into us on or before the third day of training, just before the tribute scores are announced. I cannot tell you the prize yet, however I can tell you that it will give you a very exclusive look at this year’s Games and I promise you, you will not be let down!
So please, send in your entries as soon as possible, until tomorrow evening, I’m Piper Papillon and that was your Capitol Update!’’

The World Shifted, Then War Began
Primrose's first taste of magic was when she met a Faerie at the ripe age of twenty-four. She formed a magical pact with the magical creature, thus she veered off the path of humanity and became a Fae Witch. Five centuries later, she's unwillingly neck-deep in a magical plague that brought death and destruction to the inhabitants of Aerilinth. She walked down the path of a witch that brought specks of happiness but a lifetime of pain. From fighting vampires to demons, surviving civil wars, helping cure magical plagues and losing loved ones. Primrose had completely lost the innocence she had before meeting the Faerie. For being a magical creature herself only brought her a pain that only a human could inflict. For the next five centuries, Primrose lived a life searching and collecting rare books to preserve history and obscure spells. She tracked a rare book into the village of Callesta that could possibly help cure her ailment. After several months of searching, she had no such luck. She went to bed and when she woke up, the world had shifted. A law to kill all magical creatures suddenly passed, the war between humans and magical creatures began. Primrose, unwilling to see another disaster strike the land again, sets out to stop the war and find out why the world changed so drastically.

A Cleric's Life for me.
This is a casually written story loosely based on TTRPG games like DnD and Pathfinder. The attempt of the story is to have a slow growth in power and comical set of characters who eventually grow close and set off for more serious adventures. There will be plenty of familiars and funny tales that don't involve combat. The intention is not to be a goody-two-shoes cleric story where nothing bad happens. The intention for this story was a slow paced grungy story where everything seemed great at first and things just kept getting worse. I learned how shitty of a story that is to write and honestly I am just not good enough to get the idea down. I plan on revisiting it later.
