Tritium Paine POV
It could be anything. It could be a lush island or a grassy plain. It could be a castle or a replica of President Galba's house. I wished the platform would rise faster so I could see what it was and start making plans.
Steel Keshmin POV
I took a look around and smiled. This Arena was made for me.

Hunter Dubchen POV
The sun was terrible on my head. The air was too open, and I shuddered. I almost cried in relief when I saw the blocky buildings around the small clearing we were in. As soon as I had a weapon, I was running straight inside.

Tally Sandpiper POV
Were we in some sort of Peacekeeper compound? Short, tended grass surrounded our platforms, but the clearing was only a little field. Behind the Cornucopia there was a two-story building, and there was another behind me. To the left, squat buildings stood in a row. There was forest to the other side. Everything had a drab, gray look.

Whyte Roberts POV
The Cornucopia is overflowing with weapons, but there isn't much else. We don't need much else. They're sure none of us will die of anything but murder.

Akari Igneous POV
The first time in the tubes I saw scorching sand. I knew it was my place. It was here again, the time for my enjoyment.

Where's Diamond? There she is.

Cierra Daline POV
Steel had spent the last two days teaching me and Troy the hand signals Peacekeepers used when they couldn't talk. She was signing urgently at both of us, outlying our entire plan.

Troy Cahill POV
You sure about that?

Lottie Parker POV
There's Marley. There's Ava. There's Olivine. We're all here and it's time to go.

Priscilla Piscot POV
Round one's about to start, Miall. I'll make it a slam dunk.

Kaliana Reese POV
The sun shines so beautifully on the water. I wish I was fishing.

The Games began.
Everyone here knows that with any provocation, I will talk about the time I got to spend three days with a bunch of Marines. That's what gave me the idea for this Arena. For the first time, you all can see exactly what the Arena looks like. It's Camp Ripley, a military base used mostly for training. The fortified buildings and ready supplies mean these Hunger Games will be no less than war.
