Once all of the potential Tributes from District Ten were all in front of the Justice Building, came District Ten's Capitol escort a man with bright blue hair and a goatee which was also the same color Kestrel looked down at all of them and smiled. "Good afternoon everyone and welcome to the 74th Annual Hunger Games!" He bellowed out cheerfully, which made Valeria roll her eyes seeing how excited he was probably to see some young kids die in the arena. Valeria looked over towards the boy's section to see her friend mimicking him and couldn't help but laugh, she stood there quietly as tradition Panem's National Anthem started to play a few minutes later came the same old video that they played every year about the Districts rebelling and how the Capitol punished them by making The Hunger Games.

Once the video had finished Kestrel made his way to the podium once more looking back at everyone once more and smiled. "As tradition lets have the ladies go first." He announced, Valeria clearly started to get stressed out when she had to put herself in for tessera several times over the winter when they didn't have much of anything to make it through the winter due to it being very harsh the last several years. She ended up losing count how many times she had to do it, however she never allowed any of her younger adopted siblings to take it up, Kestrel dug his well manicured hands into the clear glass ball which had every child's name in Ten, he then pulled up the small strip of paper containing the name. "Valeria Galloway!" Kestrel said with a bright smile, at the voice of her name Val stood there frozen her eyes going towards her friend and then she heard her family's scream.

Before Valeria could do anything she felt hands grabbing her arms and looked up to see peacekeepers escorting her towards the stage. Valeria stood on stage clearly trembling her eyes met a woman in her forties only one of the few Victor's from District Ten's history. "Now for the boys!" Kestrel announced as he said his name Valeria stood there and was suddenly shocked at the name that was announced as well. "Garric Redpath!" Kestrel said with a smile, her eyes going towards her best friend slowly made his way towards the stage.

"Our Tributes for District Ten Valeria Galloway and Garric Redpath may the odds ever be in their favor!" Valeria and Garric were both escorted into the Justice Building Valeria stood there quietly until the door suddenly opened her little sister and brother came running in, along with her parents, they all pulled her into a hug her mother then pulled off her necklace and handed it to Valeria. "Keep this, it was my mother's." She said to her daughter Valeria took it and put it on her neck and nodded. "Thank you." She said softly wiping some tears off from her eyes as the peacekeepers came in to escort her to the train.
