Alex felt refreshed on the day the tournament was set to begin.
"Are you ready, brother?" Pearl asked.
Alex nodded. "I've been preparing for this for so many decades now," he said. "I'm more than ready."
They walked out and met up with Silvermist and Grimsight.
"Do not be nervous. You will do fine," Silvermist said, fixing Alex's robe, even though it didn't need any fixing. It was clear that he was the one nervous here.
"We should get moving. Might find a better place to stay if we go there early," he said.
"I don't believe we will be entering at all, brother Grimsight," Silvermist said. "With the amount of participants I see, we will have to stay outside while the tournament takes place inside."
Grimsight supposed that was correct. "They have managed to keep under wraps everything about the tournament, huh?"
