[center] [color=662d91][h2][i]Magical Notes[/i][/h2] [i]A tale of Songs and Knights[/i][/color] [/center] The battles had finally began and the public was raging all over the Imperial Colosseum, the clashing spirits of the new generation of Song Knights were enough to light the fire of the soul of even the most weary farmer but, it seemed that at least a certain few individuals were more interested in their own plans than on the tournament. One of such individuals was Emilia Warov, the Regent Princess of the Kingdom of Warovia, one of the many nations that are part of the Wolgang Alliance. Currently the Princess was in the company of the younger sister of Princess Ires of the Bach Empire, Princess Riselotte Ralveyk Bach, as well as an escort from Wolfgang, Rhodri Gwynfor, whose family had in a good relationship with Warovia for a long time. The contents of their conversation, occasionally interrupted by the loud cheers of the general public on the lower sections of the Colosseum, was a commercial agreement between Warovia (known for its reserves of resources) and the Empire's Craftsmen Association. With most of the finer parts of the agreement already sorted out, Emilia said, as she gazed upon the arena floor, [color=goldenrod]"Well, I believe most of our negotiation is already concluded, Princess Riselotte. It leaves only the payment method open for your Highness to decide but, if you allow me a suggestion. The Gwynfor Household, represented here by my escort, Rhodri Gwynfor, has connections to neutral banking houses. It would be in both our interests to handle the transaction through th- Huh!?"[/color] Just as the Warovian Princess was about to finish her sentence, a huge tremor shook the Colosseum to its very core. It was as if the sky itself had parted and rumbled with unspeakable power. When the tremor stopped, a voice that some of the Song Knights that were at the early struggle at the marketplace had heard before said, [color=ed1c24]"One moment of your attention, everyone. I'm sorry to say but, this mockery of a tournament will be cancelled shortly. Please, accept this little present, as a payback for your troubles~"[/color] The mysterious girl from early said as a rain of musical sheets began to fall over the grand arena. Moments before they touched the ground the sheets would produce the hideous screen that came with the birth of a dissonance. It looked like there were about a couple dozens of dissonances looking like undead soldiers had filled the stadium and began massacring the spectators (who, in most part, were defenseless civilians). It didn't took long for chaos to spread like a wild fire, leaving only the few remaining Song Knights to protect as many as they could.
