Salana's P. O. V
We are traveling at the top of the clouds right now, and I felt afraid because the trauma is still intact in my mind. I still remember when Bonny kicked me off the cliff.
"S-Sir. Royal Knight, c-could we travel on land instead?" I asked while stuttering in fear. "We can't do that, lady. We need to hurry to the Royal Capital, where the battle ground was found." Sir. Royal Knight said. I cried out because of that.
"I-I'm so afraid, I-I have a traumatic experience in high places like this," I said while crying. Sir. Royal Knight just giggled, and it made me piss-off.
"What so funny about that, Sir. Royal Knight?" I asked. After that, I heard him clear his throat. "First, don't call me Sir. Royal Knight, my name is Antonio Evoresca Von Miller, or you can just call me Mr. Anton. Second, you never fall off to the Griffin when you are riding with it. They have a Special Philè called Cage-On, where Griffins create a cage-like barrier, for the reason that its rider and passenger can't fall off while traveling to above the clouds. So, set your mind at ease." Mr. Anton explained. I sighed at ease because of that.
"Thank you for the information, Mr. Anton. I am Salana Tempest, by the way," I said. Mr. Anton just nodded and whipped the Griffin gently, and it made the Griffin fly faster...
After an hour...
Mr. Anton whipped the Griffin gently, the Griffin twisted its body and looked like it was about to land.
"We are finally here," Mr. Anton said. So, I looked down and saw a very majestic view of the Royal Capital and Royal Palace at this height.
"Wow! I wish I could die in the scenery like this!" I exclaimed. I heard Mr. Anton chuckled. "Hey, don't say that, Salana. They said it's bad fortune to wish to die. We should wish for a long life, not death hahaha!" Mr. Anton said. After that, the Griffin landed slowly at the Royal Capital's Gate. Mr. Anton got off to the Griffin first, then he offered me his hand. So, I grabbed it and he helped me to get off.
"Attention!" Mr. Anton shouted. Then, a lot of Royal Knights ran and lined-up in front of Mr. Anton. Then, they stood straight and saluted.
"O-Oh My O-Omni-Supreme! Y-You are a Captain Knight, Mr. Anton?" I stuttered. Mr. Anton looked at me with a smirk. "Yes, but don't worry. You still call me Mr. Anton." He said. Then, he winked, then he looked at the Royal Knights wearing a serious expression.
"So, where are we going now, Mr. Anton?" I asked. He grabbed my hand and walked into the Royal Capital. "Let's go to the battle ground." He said. I just nodded as an answer.
"Royal Knight Paul, I command you to use the Door of Flicker!" Mr. Anton shouted. Then, one of the Royal Knights went in front of us and pointed his finger to the air.
"Topophile: Door of Flicker!" The Royal Knight named Paul shouted. Then, a black hole suddenly appeared in the thin air.
"Wow! It's my first time to saw a Space-Ralated Philè!" I exclaimed. Mr. Anton just giggled. After that, he dragged me inside the black hole, and the next thing I saw was the big Arena with a lot of different races outside.
"Farewell, Lana. I'll go now, my mission ends here," Mr. Anton said. So, I looked at him and nodded with a broad smile on my face. "Thank you for guiding me, Mr. Anton, until we meet again!" I shouted. He just nodded as an answer and entered the black hole after.
"I-Is that the Royal Knight Captain. Antonio Evoresca Von Miller?" I heard someone's voice behind my back. So, I turned around and saw two girls and two boys while looking curiously at me. I just looked at my knees and walked away, without answering their questions. I don't want people near me to break my trust again, so as much as possible, I need to avoid interacting with other creatures. After a while, many Fying Speakers came out to the arena and scattered everywhere. It's my first time to saw a utility familiars such as these Flying Speakers.
"To all chosen contestants for the Centurial Commoners Game or CCG, you can enter the Arena now for some discussion and for the information about the rules and regulations to the whole game, thank you!" The voice of the man that came out to the flying speakers explained. So, many other contestants rushed inside the Arena. I decided not to huddle with the crowd, so I just stepped back to be the last one to enter.
"Hey, don't you want to enter?" I heard the voice of a girl. So, I turned around and saw the two boys and two girl who ask me about Mr. Anton a while ago. I just looked at my knees again and chose not to answer their question.
"Hey! Are you deaf or what?" One of the boys asked me in an irritated voice. So, I turned around and raised an eyebrow to them. "No, I'm not. I just don't want to answer your question, because I don't want people like you talking to me. Please don't bother me anymore, and I will do the same." I said, and it made them dumbfounded. After that, I turned around and walked towards the entrance of the Arena. When I came in, I saw a lot of untrusted creatures happily sitting at the bleachers that surrounded the battle ground. I decided not to go to any bleachers. So, I remain standing at the side of the entrance door. I also saw the two boys and two girls that passes through me. The boy who asked me if I am deaf glared at me to death. So, I just smirked as an insult to him.
A few seconds passed...
The flying speakers went inside the Arena and  scattered around the Arena's bleachers. After that, a man wearing a white robe of a noble appeared in the middle of Arena.
"Ehem! Ehem! Mic test... Mic test..." The man in the white robe said, and it made all the untrusted creatures laugh. "Okay, okay! Stop laughing already. By the way, I am Baron Davis Virtro Von Escobar, and I will be your emcee for the Centurial Commoners Game or CCG!" He shouted, and it made the crowd shout like a people freed from the long imprisonment...
