The streets were lined with stalls adorned with richly woven carpets, ornate pottery, and exotic fruits piled high in baskets. The sound of vendors calling out their wares mingled with the laughter of children playing tag, creating a symphony of life that echoed through the ancient city.

In the heart of the ancient city, where the sun cast its golden rays upon bustling streets, the afternoon bazaar came alive with a vibrant tapestry of sights, sounds, and scents. The air was alive with the melodic chatter of merchants and the enticing aroma of spices that wafted from colorful stalls.

Amidst the bustling streets of the bazaar, the rhythmic clank of armor heralded the arrival of two royal guards. Their polished armor gleamed in the afternoon sun, drawing the attention of the crowd as they made their way through the lively marketplace.

The first guard, a tall and imposing figure with a stern expression, raised a hand to command attention. His voice carried across the bustling bazaar, cutting through the din of merchants and shoppers.

"Good people of our noble city!" he boomed, his words commanding the attention of all who gathered. "By decree of His Majesty, King Jalil al Hakim, we announce the upcoming Crown of Destiny Tournament!"

A murmur of excitement rippled through the crowd as the announcement echoed through the narrow streets. Faces turned towards the guards, curiosity and anticipation evident in their expressions.

The second guard, a younger man with a more approachable demeanor, stepped forward to address the crowd. "The Crown of Destiny Tournament is a test of courage, skill, and destiny itself," he explained, his voice carrying a hint of excitement. "Brave souls from far and wide are invited to prove their worth and compete for honor, glory, and the ultimate prize-a place among the Seven Great Leaders!"

Gasps of awe and admiration filled the air as the crowd absorbed the significance of the tournament. Whispers and discussions erupted among onlookers, each person envisioning the possibilities and challenges that lay ahead.

The first guard continued, his voice booming with authority. "Prepare yourselves, noble citizens! The tournament will commence in one week's time, and contenders must register at the palace gates to test their mettle and claim their destiny!"

With that proclamation, the guards turned to depart, their presence leaving an air of excitement and anticipation lingering in the bustling streets. The news of the Crown of Destiny Tournament spread like wildfire, igniting a spark of ambition and determination in the hearts of those who aspired to greatness in the ancient city's storied history.

Soraya and Khalida Ameer, both sisters blended seamlessly into the throng of commoners, their regal attire hidden beneath cloaks. With hoods drawn low to conceal their features, they stood among the curious onlookers, their eyes alight with anticipation as they listened to the royal guards' announcement.
