After the King of Werewolves and the others were seated in the VIP section, Fiona signalled to Xavier Raynor, the referee for today's match, to begin. Without wasting any time, Xavier stepped forward and started the match.
Standing at one side of the arena, within the protective array, he raised his voice… amplified so the entire stadium could hear.
"Today, we are gathered here to witness the duel between the two finalists of the Raynor Clan competition. These two have fought through every challenger among the Raynor youths and proved their worth to stand here. I present to you… Ethan Raynor and Gary Raynor!"
As if on cue, from opposite ends of the arena, the floor split apart and both Gary and Ethan rose simultaneously from underground platforms.
The crowd erupted with cheers, supporting their favourites. Or they placed a bet upon. Xavier waited for the noise to settle before continuing.
