Living here isn't easy. They give us a bit of food, but unless we hunt and gather and grow our own, it wouldn't be enough for everyone. And some of the creatures in the caves and the lake are dangerous; they'll eat you, if they can. It wouldn't be so bad if we could all work together, but we're not really allowed; unless it's with Delphinus, our partner team, everything we give or receive has to be in equal trade, or both teams are punished.
But it's the Judges' games that are the hardest. Some . . . really are just games. They can even be fun. But the game depends on the judge, and some judges . . . can be very cruel. Their games are designed to hurt people; both their bodies, and their hearts. Some judges are dangerous just because of what they are, and depending on the choices people make, people can injured, or even be killed.
None of us wake up knowing what the people we were wished for. But, for everyone . . . I think it had to be something very important, to agree to come to a place like this.
