Chapter 508 - Start of the War Games

"Woah, so many people!"

Excitement and awe filled the blonde girl's eyes as she looked around. From wherever her eyes could glean at, all she saw were thick crowds of people, either already standing around a large, rectangle-shaped podium. 

At the front, standing its central piece, a lonesome black oakwood desk stood proudly. Atop of it, four distinct pergamen were unfolded and sprawled out, using small stones at its edges to weigh it down. The deep yellow old pieces of parchment filled up the surface of the desk, with each pergamen showing a different emblem, a symbol at its top.

Each showing the signature crest of one of the 'Bastions', one of the pillars of the upcoming events. Behind the table, at the far end of the podium two lines of chairs were already prepared, looking relatively plain, without much of the hauteur that usually symbolized the top of the social ladder.
