The thought stayed in Alden's mind as he watched Seles walk away with her slow but deliberate movements.
Or is she planning something strange?
He dismissed that idea almost immediately.
He didn't believe for a second that she was planning anything strange. She was intelligent and maybe even influential but that was the extent of it.

With those thoughts in his mind, he turned away and headed toward the Arena.
It didn't take long before he arrived.
The moment he stepped into the seating stands, the grand arena revealed itself in all its overwhelming glory. Hundreds of thousands of spectators filled the space. It was anything but a small crowd but within the vastness of the structure, they looked no bigger than ants.
