Leon stepped out into the cool evening air, his robe neatly fastened and his mind focused.
As he walked, the events of the past hour played over in his mind, a mixture of satisfaction and anticipation stirring within him.
The path back to the library was quiet, the sun beginning its descent, casting long shadows across the ground.
Leon moved with purpose, his strides confident. The streets were largely empty, most people still gathered in the main square or settled in their homes.
As he walked, he couldn't help but notice the changes in his surroundings. The once bustling market stalls were now deserted, their wares packed away.
The air was filled with the distant hum of conversations and the occasional laughter from the some groups of people enjoying the evening.
The magnitude of the crowd was overwhelming, after two hours, most of the spectators have emerged from battle arena, leaving most path blocked.
