Silence pervaded the arena. It was shocking enough for just one to choose not to kneel, but the fact four decided on this choice at once was something completely unprecedented. However, there were two the audience immediately recognized.
One was a handsome young man with dirty blond hair and warm brown eyes. Though his eyes were lowered not daring to push his luck too far, there was a confident smile on face.
This young man was Byrin Lao, Throne of the Ember Clan and Scion of the Lao Clan!
The second was a petite beauty with a reserved aura. She wasn't exactly cold and distant, but she wasn't warm and inviting either. She tiptoed a delicate balance difficult for many.
Her eyes were lowered as well, her glistening black hair falling over much of her face. This beauty was Alote Till, Throne of a recluse Sect that didn't take part in the mundane world of the Core Region. They were simply known as the Night Terror Sect and very little was known about them.
