Tournament's Start

Alex was dressed in a golden robe with regal embroidery on it representing the red and purple colors of the Phoenix. He walked in a manner fitting a King as he approached the stands that were prepared for monarchs and others of high standing on the continent.

The Gold King, Ebony King, and the Emerald King were already present when he arrived with his two elders.

After a short greeting, the two elders moved a few seats back, letting Alex remain with the three.

The Ivory Queen arrived not long after him, making small excuses for why she was late, but she didn't seem much concerned about what others said.

The Silver Queen had her hands tied with the competition, so she was going to be later than most. 

The Azure King and Queen arrived a short time later, greeting everyone.
