Daniel made his way up the steps and into the bleachers which were crowded and absolutely packed with dragons.

Almost all of them were Silkwingd and Leafwings though Daniel did end up spotting a pair of Hivewings off on the opposite side of the building.

The bleachers were formatted in a circular manner all around the arena in a large ring.
Very similar to how stadiums back on earth were.
There was a wooden fence near the edge of the bleachers that reached up to Daniel's chest.

This prevented anyone from accidentally falling down into the arena below.
Speaking of which, the arena itself was a mix of light-coloured dirt and green grass.

However, unlike Scarlet's arena which was flat.
This one had multiple hills and dips placed around the area which gave it a unique and unpredictable nature.
There was even a short but thick tree near the edge of the arena.

This gave great potential to weave the environment in your favour in order to win duels.
It made the tournament not just about fighting skills but also whether you're able to think ahead and outplay your opponent.

Daniel looked around at the crowd of dragons buzzing with excitement.
He assumed it wasn't long until the games would begin.
'So it would probably be a good idea to settle down somewhere...'

Daniel scanned the area, looking for a place to sit.
Unfortunately, it looked like the only open spots were ones where you'd be crammed between two other dragons.
He sighed to himself.
'Great...'

However, just then when Daniel was about to start scavenging for a halfway decent spot, he was once again caught off guard and spooked by a sudden talon in his shoulder.

He shrieked halfway loudly before quickly turning around.
This caught the attention of a few nearby dragons but they soon lost interest and went back to their own worlds.

To Daniel's surprise, it was Star whose face he met after turning around.

"Hey, how's it going?" she asked casually.

Daniel was a little surprised but responded with the same causal tone.
"Oh hello, I'm doing fine, what are you doing here?"

Star raised a brow.
"Well what do you think? I'm here to watch Willow of course!"
She let out a small laugh, "The real question is what you're doing trying to find a spot over here?"

Daniel raised a brow.
"What do you mean?"

Star rolled her eyes.
"Just follow me" She promptly grabbed hold of Daniel's talon and began dragging him forcefully.

He stumbled behind Star as she weaved herself effortlessly through the crowded area.
Meanwhile, he tried to do the same but occasionally bumped into other dragons, apologising to each of them briefly.

Eventually, they reached an open area that Daniel hadn't seen yet.
'Probably because it was blocked from view.'

They soon came to a stop in their tracks as Star let go of his talon.
She moved out of Daniel's line of sight and he was finally able to see where she'd dragged him.

The rest of the group as well as some other Pantalan dragons were all gathered together to watch Willow and Sundew compete.

Near the top of the bleachers, Daniel spotted Charlotte sitting awfully close to Kori if he remembered her name correctly.
He also saw Blue and Ostrich, sitting in the cluster next to them.

Just below them in the middle of the group, Kinkajou was sitting between Moon, Turtle, and Tamarin.
Peril sat next to Moon with her firescales turned off for obvious reasons.
