The sound of trumpets filled the magical stone kingdom, alerting them of the great event which was about to unfold within the secure walls of the powerful empire. The event was hosted by none other than Alexander Shigo, King and father of Armis Shigo.
" You hear that? It's the second day of the combat tournament"
" Yeah. If I weren't working. I would join it"
" Pft... Like you could stand a chance against some of them"
Two guards conversed outside the east gate of the coliseum where the tournament was hosted meanwhile inside, a marvellous battle of power and wit took place upon the sand coated floor.
Clank... Bang...Boom... The sound of metal sang through the area before the combination of explosions and erratic roars muffled out the clash of swords. Each combatant using their Vis, this world's version of mythical energy. An energy that is everywhere and in all living beings too who harness it to conduct unimaginable things
"Gaugh!! Augh!"
And with those very sounds, the match was decided between the two combatants who wielded not only their birth element but Vis effectively. With one combatant immobilised, the other stood in front of them triumphantly.
" The winner is...Ilvin. He shall ascend to the next round."
The crowds ecstatically shouted after the wonderful display of power as Ilvin walked off stage while his opponent had to be carried off instead by medics. Normally after a battle, it would take long for the big stage to be cleared however, a group of individuals used their Vis and powers to fix the stage within mere minutes.
" And now for the second round!!! Armis Shigo Vs Zaxel Lldaran"
The commentator shouted as the whole arena went quiet before they began to bicker between themselves about the two names mentioned.
"Wait what?! The Prince is fighting!"
"To think the king would allow his son to enter the tournament"
" The prince must be tryna prove something by taking part"
" Also his opponent is that Fallen Aasimar Zaxel, The mercenary"
