The room was huge with high ceilings. It was adorned with beautiful tapestries. Pero ang nakakatawag pansin sa lahat was the tapestry of a golden female sphinx standing in all fours, wings stretch up high and as regal as a queen. Below the tapestry was a flat form, doon nakalagay ang upuan ng hari, ang tanging upuan sa loob ng silid at kung saan kasalukuyang nakaupo ang hari.
Nang itaas ng hari ang kaliwang kamay ay tumahimik ang lahat na naroroon, pagkatapos ay nagsalita ito.
"Ipinapatawag ko kayong lahat dahil may importante akong sasabihin sa inyo." Umpisa nito. "Kaninang tanghali ay nakatanggap ako ng isang mensahi. The kingdom of Palan, Isles, Kurlaz, Ver, Baltaq and Brun agreed to have a mage tournament.
Mages using the same element will battle. Tierra, Aer, Ignis and Aqua Mages are all welcome to join. Each element will have one winner at tatanghalin ang mananalo sa kanya-kanyang elemento bilang kauna-unahang HighMage. The kingdom of Ver will host the tournament." The king announced.Nasisiguro ni Firen na maraming gustong sumali sa tournament. The Ver kingdom is very far from Quoria. Hindi naman nakakapagtataka na mag host ang iba pang mga kaharian sa tournament pero sobrang layo ng Ver. It will take a week to travel on a carriage. The faster would be riding the landaire, mga isa araw lang siguro aabutin.
Mages all over the land had been waiting for the tournament. Sa mga lumipas na mga taon ay unti-unti ng nawala ang mga elemental mages.
Noong unang panahon, when they say elemental mages it means mages that can manipulate either of the four elements. And had two or more elemental powers. Ngayon ang elemental mages ay napapalitan ng FireMage, AirMage, WaterMage at EarthMage. None have more than one elemental power. Kaya ngayon napagpasyahan na magtatanghal ng tournament. All mages that have the same elemental power will battle each other hangang sa ang matitira ay siyang tatanghaling HighMage. Ang pinakamalakas sa lahat. Ibig sabihin there will be four HighMages, one of each element. Hindi lang iyan, kung sino man ang mananalo ay magkakaroon ng kayamanan, katanyagan at lahat ng mga mages sa kahariang sumali ay mapapasailalim sa pamumuno ng HighMage. But of course there are some rules. Hindi naman papayag ang pitong kaharian na magbibigay ng ganoon kalaking kapangyarihan sa isang tao. The HighMage will of course answer to his or her king. At hindi pwedeng gamitin ang kapangyarihan ng HighMage na tawagin ang kanyang mga kinasasakupan na galing sa ibang kaharian to fight for him in battle. He could of course go into battle but he can only command the mages in his land with the approval of the king. All seven kings are afraid, the HighMage will use other mages to gain more power. So there are rules and restriction of course.
The tournament will determine who are the powerful mages in the land. And for him that is enough reason why he needs to witness it. He did not necessarily need to join.
Nakaramdam ng excitement si Firen, lahat ng mga mages sa buong pitong kaharian ay maglalaban-laban. Gustong-gusto niyang makita kung anong klaseng kapangyarihan meron ang mga ito.
"Commander Firen, I want our best mages on the tournament!" Anunsyo ng hari. Noon lang din siya napansin ng ibang tao na naroroon sa loob ng silid.
"Yes your highness."sagot ni Firen.
Dahil sa pagod ay mahimbing na natulog si Prema ng biglang dalawin siya ng panaginip.
She was at her usual spot, at the top of the falls, setting in a cross legged position meditating when she heard a faint noise, pero sapat na iyon para maputol ang kanyang konsentrasyon. She opened her eyes at lumingon. Wala siyang nakitang kahit isang nilalang, hayop man o tao. But she swear she heard something.
