'''Welcome! Welcome to the First Special Hunger Games!''' The Hunger Games haven't occurred for nearly a century and, after the death of President Rye Mellark, a virgin who produced no offsprings, the Capitol is craving to see one in real life, as the last person to see a Hunger Games take place was long passed dead. They held a private election, as the democracy-like government made great impact on them, and elected President Raine Duke. Raine Duke isn't considered a "kind-spirited" or "nice", but is extremely competitive and knew how to persuade large bodies of citizens. At the end of her campaign, only the people who knew the other person in the run voted for him, bring her to victor. As she came accustom to the President's Mansion, she discovered the Treaty of Treason and was so entertained by the idea, that she rediscovered the prior-known Hunger Games. However, to make it more interesting, every year, the Gamemakers will come up with a theme or twist in which will effect both the tributes and the arena. In the end, only one tribute may come out as a victor. And as she stand up on stage, microphone in hand, the Capitol citizens cheered, as this was the first time they saw the president since after the election, she recited her ever-famous speech: "Citizens of the districts," she said the words strong and proud, "I have come before you today as the new president of Panem. We've survived many long and harsh years with President Rye Mellark, but now, we have practiced in our democracy-like practices and have elected me, President Raine Duke. "I come before you today as a leader and as a supporter. Our country is being brought to the ground by the beliefs in democracy and we have been longing for a change. So, I have rewritten the Treaty of Treason. From this day forward, every year, we will select one male and female between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in a battle-to-the-death Special Hunger Games. "Now, you might be wondering: Why is it called the Special Hunger Games? Well, the answer is simple and amusing. Every year, the tributes will come from unique ancestries or places. Not every year will there be tributes from the districts, but there may be many more.  "In three months, we shall be having our first reapings, for those who are willing to participate in these Special Hunger Games, I recommend you volunteer. But be warned, you will never be able to redo your decisions. Life is worth living, but you may become famous by doing this. "Will you risk it? Maybe if I told you the theme, or twist, or whatever you really want to call it, then you might.  "This year's theme or twist is. . . the Greek Gods. "There are fourteen immortal gods that every one should know: Aphrodite, Apollo, Ares, Artemis, Athena, Demeter, Dionysus, Hades, Hephaestus, Hera, Hermes, Hestia, Poseidon, Zeus. "Had we known their half-mortal children and find them, we would be able to reap them instead of all these other, fully mortal children, we would. But since some gods are virgins or only produce immortal children, we'll be giving the children their power and the god's protections. "May these Special Hunger Games mark the first of the many of this generation!"
