It was the semi-final day.
Excitement buzzed through the air as the arena filled with spectators.
Today's crowd was larger than usual, it seemed—people were gathering in anticipation of fierce battles.
In the 'Trial of Light' tier, four warriors had secured their places: Ryn Fireveil, Selrik Frostbane, Arin Drez, and Ragna Stormbreaker.
The announcer stepped forward, her voice booming across the arena.
"Gather 'round, warriors and spectators alike!
Today, destiny is forged in battle, and history shall be written in blood and glory!
Across all three tiers, fighters will clash in two intense battles each!
By day's end, only two victors from each tier shall remain, standing tall among the rest!"
She gestured toward the royal balcony, where esteemed guests had gathered.
"And to mark this grand occasion, we are honored by the presence of not one, not two, but all three royals—Prince Alric Drihan the Pious, Prince Kaelan Drihan the Mighty, and Princess Selene Drihan the Wise!
