The harmonious city of Saphir Springs bustled with more activity than ever.
Citizens rushed around, accompanied by flushed-faced children, unable to contain their excitement.
"Quick, Papa! We're going to miss the starting ceremony!"
"Don't worry, my baby girl. If you climb on my shoulders, we'll reach the place in time."
On their way, the loving pair stopped for a second before the humongous Gate humming with energy.
"You know what, Papa? I'll gather enough money for us to take it and heal your back when I become big like you."
The father's heart almost melted, and tears pooled in his eyes as he patted his six-year-old daughter lovingly.
"Hahaha. I'm waiting for this day with impatience, Gwen! But for now, let's rush to the venue and see our world's future pillars."
With a shared mischievous nod, they ran to the freshly built arena, missing the arrival of a disgruntled boy and an elegant yet dangerous-looking woman.
