Royal Gathering

Sitting in the middle of a small room, two men could be barely visible. Nothing but a small opening from one of the walls giving barely any lighting.

They could hardly see anything inside, so they had no other choice than to sit there doing absolutely nothing, but sit.

One of them spoke with a shaky, soft tone.

"Hey, Just wanted to-'

"I know what you are going to say, and I am tired of it, so, quit it. Its always the same thing whenever we come here."
The other man groaned annoyed with his rough tone, leaning his head against the wall.

"Do you think they're done with the training by now?"

"I truly want to believe that, but you know, we are still here.

"...Right."

Not exchanging another word, an awkward silence took over the extensive, empty and humid space.
They have been there for who knows how long, doing absolutely nothing but being locked into the same spot for hours.

The sudden creak of an old, wooden door broke the silence, making both of them turn around,a bright light coming through, blinding them slightly.

One of the king's helpers held the door open, signaling them to come out with a gloved hand.

The three of them left the room, located in one of the deteriorated, foul dungeons underground from the fortress to make their way into the coliseum.

It was flooded with grey cavaliers at the deteriorated wooden benches and three of the greatest four next to the king, who sat on his throne with his hands over his head, silently sobbing, surrounded by a few more grey knights as well, his helpers.

Blizzard, Ignis and Vermont could be found silently discussing the issue with the king. Surrounding the throne, there was a tension atmosphere, that even the grey knights who weren't directly next to the throne, could feel it.
The whole coliseum became tense and nervous for what would happen next at this point.

The ice Knight leaned over to his comrades. "The training you had in the previous years, should be more than enough. Are you willing to take in practice what you've learned, to serve a royal task once more?"

Vermont spoke up concerned. "WHAT about Re-"

"If he does not want to help us, we will take matters into our own hands."

After a brief period of time, the old man with his white beard trembling , seemed to nod at the colored knights standing next to him.

The ice knight began scanning the rows of Grey knights through the sockets of his helmet, picking a decent amount of them until they had to choose two more. He turned his head to take a glance at two specific grey cavaliers.

One of them attempted to sneak away from the coliseum until the other squeezed his arm, growling quietly.

"My sincerest apologies." Interrupted the king like he read Blizzard's thoughts, "Lane and Bennett are not allowed to be out of the kingdom after the incident from 3 years ago. Perhaps choose other fighters? "

"Yeah. The incident." Lane muttered under his breath glaring at Bennett.

The ice Knight raised an eyebrow. "Well, why is that your majesty?"
