OLD CITY, GRAND RIVARCH
GREATER EMPIRE OF PARNON"Vivet Aternum Parnon! Vivet Aternum Prince Caelius!" reverberated through the streets of Grand Rivarch. The Imperial capital of the Great Empire of Parnon was teeming with excitement and jubilation, as people from all walks of life eagerly awaited the start of the grand parade. From the towering villas and citadels to the busy streets, the city was pulsating with energy as citizens cheered and celebrated.
As the countdown began on the holo screens that adorned the city, the sound of drums echoed through the streets, intensifying the anticipation and excitement of the people. The crowd erupted into cheers as the countdown hit five minutes, with parents hoisting several of their children onto their shoulders for a better view. People on higher balconies leaped onto the street, and others jumped onto roof decks to catch a glimpse of the parade from afar. Some capital citizens would be jumping from one roof deck to the next trying to follow the movement of the parade below.
As the parade drew to a close, the people of Parnon continued to celebrate, basking in the afterglow of the victory. As a few citizens sang the epic song, "All Hail the Divines," it played continuously in the background. The streets were alive with music, dancing, and revelry as the people of the city came together to honor their Prince and revel in the spirit of the moment as the countdown drops in 3... 2... 1...
The sound of drums and trumpets would fill the air, creating a sense of excitement and anticipation. The Parnish banner, with its gold metallic frames and emblem of the Eternal Star on a field of deep midnight blue, would appear, signifying the start of the parade. The marching band, playing lively music, would follow closely, with Parnish acrobatic performers showcasing their skills and wowing the crowd.
The spectators' cheers would grow louder as the magnetic hover floats, each varying in size and magnificence, started to appear. These floats carried officials and all the Parnish participants of the recently finished Eternidad Cup. As each float passed by, confetti would rain down on the citizens watching from the streets, adding to the festive atmosphere.
The music from the band would change its rhythm and tempo as the largest magnetic float approached, drawing everyone's attention. The black 10-meter-long float, adorned with gold trimmings and linings, would shimmer and glisten even more as the Eter Sun hit it, creating a breathtaking sight. The float would carry none other than Prince Caelius, the recently crowned Eternidad Cup champion, and the crowd would erupt into cheers and applause, shouting his name as they celebrated his victory.
