8th Hunger Games

Weather: Sunny, some rain

Length of games: 2 days, 58 minutes

Arena: Old amphitheatre

Victor: Justus al-Fayed (age 17): District 2

This year's games were the first to feature spears as weapons, which came in very handy for the victor.

The games
Justus managed to grab a spear, but immediately ran up through the seating area and decided to watch the unfolding events from this vantage point. It was from here that he saw several of strong competitors wipe each other out within the first five minutes.

Justus decided to rest on one of the higher beams of the ruins at the top of the arena. Although some other tributes spotted him, it was virtually impossible for them to target Justus without him having the opportunity to kill them with his longer spear or without them being spotted by other big threats in the arena.

Justus decided to sleep in this relatively safe position during the day, whilst the other tributes roamed around the arena. However at night, he came out and killed many tributes as they slept. Overall, he managed to kill ten of his competitors over the two nights.

As the rain came down, Justus ventured inside the tunnels and when there was just he and Magnolia (11) remaining, she snuck up on him and disarmed him before stabbing him in the shoulder, but Justus managed to overpower her and he clawed at her face, mostly eyes, until she died.

After the games
Upon returning to District 2, Justus taught other tributes in his district how to fight and use swords, in case they were ever reaped for the games. He later went on to open a security company for The Capitol.
