I apologize for the confusion. Here's the revised scene as requested, without any unnecessary markings:

The arena was silent, save for the low hum of distant flames and the crackling of Esteria's power as she squared off against Kael. He stood opposite her, a tall figure cloaked in the fire-colored robes of his nation. His presence alone commanded respect—his eyes burning with the intensity of his heritage. Fire demons were notorious for their skill and strength, but Esteria wasn't intimidated. She had long since learned not to fear her enemies, especially when she wielded the elements as she did now.
