Day MMCXVII, part II

I went out of my room, and turned right, to go to the arena, just as the music got blasted through the speakers. There were few people on the corridor, with headsets on, and they stopped me for a second, to later give me a green light to finally enter.

I had to climb some stairs before I emerged between the protective walls, now covered by the cheering people. They keep changing, showing different locations all over the world.

In some places, people were crazy about in others openly against me.

- And now, ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the representatives of the gate located in India, the city of Arc! Team five! Peter! - was announced.

For a moment they increased the volume on the cheers, as I was heading a bit more to the center of the arena.

- The opponent of team seven will be a team from Brazil!
