Putting his bar up on top of the railing of the ship, Ardere's long cloak flapped voraciously in the sea breeze. Gazing out towards Sphere Island, he was intrigued at how the mountains had formed like an actual sphere. While he had seen many forms of strange terrain, this one certainly took the cake. He was on his way to this island to participate in a tournament, and win. The King of Fighters tournament, it was certainly a well known tournament across the country. While he had participated in Arena fights, he had been in nothing like this before. He heard people had been killed in these, but that was not going to happen. Taking his foot off of the railing, the ship was nearing the port. It would not be long before he was in that ring, and fighting his heart out. While he was not one to fight for no reason, these men had come here to win and were ruthless about it. If they were going to be so ruthless about it, then they would receive the same treatment from the Fire King. As a guild master, it was his duty to uphold the reputation of his guild, especially due to the fact that his guild was new. He did not plan on losing here today. Instead, he would hop down onto the dock full of vigor. Taking a deep breath, he could taste the salt content in the air. It was sort of nasty, but he decided to ignore it and get moving. He imagined the check in at Registry had already begun, and being late was not something he was fond of. Looking back at the large cruise ship that brought him, he gave it a casual salute. Then Ardere looked at the massive mountains shaped into a sphere, it was almost intimidating. Taking in all of the scenery, the brown haired man received a few looks, probably due to his Samurai attire. Smirking slightly, he did not mind the attention. Hopefully he could make his guild proud, and impress Sayrn as always, though he doubted his girlfriend cared about such trivial things as a tournament. Chuckling about it a bit, he ventured on into the sphere of rock. A large entrance had been carved into the side of the sphere, to gain entrance into what was beyond. Peering up at the large city, he widened his eyes a bit. Well damn. It was strange to see such a large city in the middle of a rock dome, but he could not stand around and be distracted. From what he knew, the tournament was held underground. It took a little while, but he found himself at the edge of the island, descending some stairs. What he found down underneath the island was amazing, a massive underground arena full of rooms and booths. But in the center was the fighting arena, large enough for H rank spells to go off without harming the audience. Nodding in awe, he made his way over towards the registry. Standing in line was most certainly a pain, but he would wait it out. After several minutes, he found himself at the front of the line. Name please. An older woman asked, who seemed to be in charge of the registry. Ardere Kasai. The woman scrolled down her list, the nodded, checking off his name. Ah here, we are. Ardere Kasai signed up for the doubles fighting tournament. Doubles? That meant fighting duos, who the hell was he fighting with. This meant that someone else was likely hired for the mission, and sent along with him. Doubles? Then who the heck might my partner be? @Elyx WC: 615/500 Post: 1/20 (40 total) | Every wound will shape me. Every scar will build my throne. MADE BY VEL OF GS + ADOX 2.0 |
