The Queen of Ice and the King of Beasts: Frost Empress vs. Apex Predator

The opening ceremony was breathtaking.

The late afternoon sun cast a warm glow over the arena, and projector lights beamed across the stands in bright, shifting colors.

Fireworks burst into the sky, one after another, each explosion leaving streaks of glittering light against the horizon.

The crowd roared as fireworks lit up the stands, and each cheer added to the electricity in the air.

The floor glimmering under the intense lights, golden banners with intricate patterns draped around the stadium, catching the light with every gust of wind. Fans from every corner of the region packed the seats, their excitement palpable as they waited for the battles to begin.

In the stands, Crescent Moon's people sat together.

Victoria watched the arena with a calm expression, beside her, Zara seemed tense, her fingers gripping her seat tightly. Kaida sat in stoic silence, her gaze steady, while Ryder watched with a growing anxiety.
