Buck Billar: As I walk into the training center, I see a edible plant and bugs station, i see a wall full of weapons, Trident lessons, wrestling lessons, then i see them. A beautiful metal handled whip with wicked spikes on the end, and a gold encrusted handled axe with a razor sharp edge. These are for me I think, but first i think i will do the wrestling lessons. The trainer Rutus teaches me some basic takedowns. Out of the corner of my eye I see Leonidas from district 5 looking at me. He approaches me. "Allies in the arena?" he asks. "Sure." i say. "Do you want to try out those weapons over there?" he asks gesturing to the axe and the whip. "yeah, I was just going to." Once I lay my hands on the whip, my heart lights up. Its so light. I take a swing at a human dummy, the barbs stick in its neck and i yank, in a matter of seconds, the head of the dummy is lying at my feet. I turn just in time to see Leo taking out dummies like they are made of paper. The axe is his weapon i think to myself. In a matter of hours, we have talked up a storm. We know a lot about each other. Then the horn blows and we are rushed back into our apartments for supper.
