The Arena[]
The Arena is an original story written by Bladewood.
Prolouge Plot[]
The Arena takes place in the year 2075- fourty years after The Great Revolt. What is The Great Revolt, you may ask? The Great Revolt was a great rebellion led by Bladewood the Great. He and his followers believed that the gods were using them as slaves, so instead of becoming servants to the Olympians, they revolted. Of course, they lost, however. As punishment, Zeus enslaved all of mankind and put them all in one big city known as Diabla. In Diabla there is a giant arena where every 10 years a contest is held. Placed inside are 12 people (6 boys/men and 6 girls/women) between the ages of 13-35. They are forced to fight to the death in tournament-like rounds. The last man standing will be crowned an Olympian and will be able to leave Diabla. Only 3 people have ever survived, the gods having cheated the other LMS's out of their rewards. This is the price the people must face for their rebellion...they must watch their family members die...

Other[]
- The Arena, is Bladewood's first full length single story.
- Despite accusitions, it is not based on or inspired by the Hunger Games. In actuallity, it was based upon an idea Blade recieved one day while watching Maple Story animations battle it out on YouTube. The idea of multiple people with different abilites fighting it out in a massive arena was appealing to him. It just so happens that the idea of rebellion and young tributes- similar to Hunger Games- is incorrporated into the story.
- The Arena is proceeded by The Rebellion.
