The hallway white in color, from the locker room till the fighting grounds- the walk felt long. Staxius and Eira took each step with pride and confidence. The former had the chance to fight in a tournament. A dream that didn't come to fruition but this was good enough. Fighting beside his daughter, the smile could not be kept hidden any longer. Eira, on the other hand, felt nervous. Her heart raced, to test her might against others with Staxius beside her. "Please step this way," a guide took the duo further out. Not towards the stadium but a gathering spot. A place where the other team soon approached. Josiah stood in the middle, he waited anxiously for all to come.
