"S-so, what happened to that other kid? In the arena, I mean." I ask.
"That kid? Oh. He's a ways behind us, might've awoken by now, now that I think about it." She replies.
The girl is Bella and we have known each other since childhood, so we trust each other like we'd trust our own parents, if we ever knew them, that is.
"So, who do you think he was? Some academy guy or one of the Caged?" She queries, though I suspect she isn't really interested, just wanting to pass the time with conversation.
"Well I have never seen him before; my guess is that he was brought up beneath the Dome or somewhere. But my guess is as good as yours."

We venture forth, journeying to places unknown even to the most adventurous of travellers. Dirt paths to concrete roads, trampled leaves to blossoming flowers, I watch the landscape gradually changing to each and every wondorous biome.
I notice a little moss swinging slowly atop a small cavern entrance. I nudge Bella to tell her to stop for a moment so we can gather any supplies we will need.
As we drag our feet closer to the cave, we notice some light reaching through a space between moss. Why would there be a light source in here? I gather that something could have already set up camp in here.
I pull away the moss and vines and take a step inside. Big echo. Ah, christ...
