I climbed up the gray marble stairs once again. We were still in the arena, and the award ceremony was to be held there for me. The doors of the arena opened for me, but this time not for fighting, but to receive my award. In the center of the arena stood a massive stage, with stairs leading up to it on all four sides. Also, the audience area was still packed with spectators. Above the stage were the Dragon Queen and her daughter.
After checking my outfit one last time, I walked toward the arena. It would be inaccurate to call this a fighting arena now; it resembled more the stages where the most popular artists performed. I walked up the sleek black marble stairs leading to the stage area. As the crowd applauded, my eyes were on the dragon princess, who seemed to be watching me intently.
