@Laserdragon14 The silvery road made a beautiful ringing sound in time to Rapidash's gallops and the Houndoom running. But the road turned gold as the group approached the city, with many more female angels wielding more of the odd tuba-like weapons, and male angels wielding baton-like swords. All the weapon wielding angels kept a watchful eye on the many beings that crowded the streets, excited for the Grand Celestial Games.
"I have to admit that you guys have an interesting design for weapons," said Shadow to pass on some type of conversation. "Also, what do I need to know about the Games?"
@Laserdragon14 "There are many events in the games." the angel replied. "Do you wish to know about a specific one?"
@Laserdragon14 "There's races of all kinds, a swordsmanship competition for the minstrels, an archery competition for the muses, a contest of song, magical duels..." the angel replied. "Do any of those strike your fancy?
"Swordsmanship and archery specifically sound good to me," replied Shadow. "When and where do those start?"
@Laserdragon14 "Both take place in the Grand Arena." the angel replied as a majestic arena made of prisms appeared in the distance. "The swordsmanship competition will take place first. Then the archery competition will follow."
@Laserdragon14 "All are welcome to participate." the angel replied. "If you need time to train, the training grounds are nearby. Signups take place in the arena lobby."
@Laserdragon14 "This way." The angel leads you to the main entrance, where many beings are lined up to sign up.
"That is quite the line, but I guess I shouldn't expect anything less if this tournament is as popular as you say it is," said Shadow with a whistle. "Are you going to take part in yourself?"
@Laserdragon14 "No--I am part of the guard assigned to keep order during the games." the angel replied. "But if you ever need anything during your time here, ask for Kristiel."
"Kristiel, got it. I guess I'll be seeing you around, have a good day," said Shadow as he got in line.
@Laserdragon14 Many beings from across the worlds were in line, all of them eager to try their luck in the various competition. Once their sign up was accepted, beginners were taken to a training area for a quick training course in the baton-like sword or the tuba-like weapon
