A/N Some of the Patwa words may be spelled wrong, sorry. I don't have the book with me; I'm doing this from memory. (The definitions are right, I'm just not sure if I have all the words). If I've forgotten a Patwa word that I use in the fic, please tell me in a review and I'll add it. Thanx. I may not use all of these words in the fic, so please don't feel intimidated and not read. The english words are the ones that are bold. Or they should be bold if they uploaded right.

In the book, Galax-Arena, three siblings – Joella (Joey), Peter, and Laine – are taken to the Galax-Arena, where they, along with the other peb, perform acrobatic stunts for the Vexa. Their trainer is a man named Hythe. Peter and Allyman, another peb, become trainers just like Hythe, and in the end, the peb kill Hythe, leaving Allan (Allyman's real name) and Peter in charge. The trainers have a device put in their arms, that allow them to control the peb, and that also allows them to be controlled. In the end, Joey, Laine and Peter, along with some of the other peb, escape. Hopefully, this will allow you to follow along, even if you've never read the book before, though I recommend reading the book (and anything else you can find by Gillian Rubinstein, especially Foxspell. She writes great books.)
