The start of the disturbance

Henrietta looked around and saw that the audience was the most excited they have ever been. This was normal since this was the final match of the Grand Mage's tournament. This was the highlight of the tournament and it was always filled with a passionate audience. Yet today was filled with wilder fans than in the past years. 

Still, that wasn't what Henrietta found weird what she found weird was despite it being the final match the Grand Mage wasn't there to spectate. Usually, during the final match, the current Grand Mage would arrive in a pseudo majestic way to surprise the audience. 

He also did the same stunt in the past Grand Mage's Tournaments but this time there was no sign of him. The royal family and the royal guards were here but not the Grand Mage. 

'Too many weird things are happening at the same time to be a coincidence. Did something happen to the Grand Mage?'
