Asher was smiling as he saw the subtitles welcoming Jackson out in to the open as the victor. He was standing in the massive area of snow. The trees were a little ways away from him because he had unintentionally jumped and ran in to the clearing in the snowy forest arena.
While many watched the snow evaporated and the announcer started to show the highlights of the tournament. Jackson was the first in three years to win without a single encounter with another participant. Ironically, he had run right over the top of the shifter grizzly bear before he dove in to make his own snow burrow.
"Nice Job Jackson!" Asher couldn't help but jump and cheer drawing a bunch of attention. The murmurs that he was friends with a winner of another tournament made them much more wary of him. Before Asher could realize and become embarrassed he noticed that Cara and Sammy's tournaments were starting at the same time.
