☀️ Arselia and Akonia

-- Well, well... That's splendid. Haven't you thought about diving a little deeper into the festive atmosphere this evening? You should have had a star for Luna Park too... Or was that one also taken away from you (in advance) because of Miss Margel? ) -- she joked lightly. -- In any case, my idea is clear, I recommend going somewhere.

- Maybe after the tournament, if you're still in any condition by then.

-- Contemplative activity... Is important. This is Tluassa Elfir, I took the liberty of recruiting her as well.

- I've come across that surname somewhere before... But I just can't remember where! 

-- So? Handsome?

- With such a weapon on one of Margel's pillars, external enemies will think twice before attacking us, - Amamius commented, - and internal ones too. Your rival's weapon isn't nearly as impressive. 
- ... Lady Erefir wouldn't come up with nonsense... - Said the elf woman, glancing askance at the ominous-looking sword with some distrust. 

-- Understood, thank you. Well, so far from the first two battles... I'll place one bet on Guyon, I believe in our dragonslayer. I haven't made a mistake, right — standard rules, betting on the winner of each specific duel?

- I accept bets before the fight, so it won't work out for Guyon yet. Other than that, correct. 

Matthias Zom announces the start of the first match. 


Bets: 
Cleona Crim: Lord, Dionysus, Arthur, Lexicon, Manin, Salmon, Heinos, Mazda.
Tluassa Elfir: Nake, Eogan, Zlobynya, Tsundor, Eios, Pion, Jilo.

Having stepped onto the arena and shown herself to the crowd, Cleona waved her hand at Sonata, whom she spotted among the spectators, and gave her opponent a contemptuous look. 

Since one participant's beauty was 60, while the other's was a whole 108, the male half of the audience approached the upcoming bout with great enthusiasm.
