[color=9932cc][i]—“Nestled safely in the mountains at the heart of the Bach Empire, lies the city of Arpeggio, built over ruins of the Old Civilization, this ancient city is also known as the Empire’s Crown Jewel and houses a population of around two million, being the biggest city in the Da Capo continent. This year the grand city will be housing the Battle Royale, the biggest competition in the land, which happens annually at the capital of one of the three major nations both to determine the most powerful Song Knight of Da Capo’s military academies as well as to celebrate and enforce peace during the Liberation Festival. The stage of such tournament will be the Imperial Colosseum, the grand battle arena, sitting between the black rocky cliffs to the west of Arpeggio and the Lorelai River, which divides Arpeggio in three sectors. In about an hour, exactly at 08:00 the competition will begin. For the time being a feeling of anticipation covers the city as the morning mist recedes, but… how long will it last?”[/i][/color]

The thief overlooked the city from the top of an old church steeple which she used as a hideout, indeed Arpeggio was a whole other thing when compared even with the capitals of the other countries. Perfectly cobbled streets, most of the houses where made of stone as well, or bricks, the shinning waters of the Lorelai, singing their melody for all to hear and [color=00aeef]“The food, you can’t forget the food, always fresh and delicious. Perhaps, should I visit my favorite apple dealer?”[/color] Sienna mused to herself.

[color=00aeef]“Come on, Rin, we’ve got breakfast to catch!” [/color] Sienna called her bubbly Spirit, who replied with a cheery [color=00aeef]“Yes~”[/color] before they both leaped out of the tower. Drawing one of her daggers, Sienna played a single note that summoned a blast of snowy wind to slow down her fall, just enough so that she could land safely on a conveniently positioned hay cart, whose destination was no where else than Arpeggio’s Central Marketplace.

On a room at an affordable, average quality inn, not too far from the Imperial Colosseum, Claudia Blair was just waking up, sleep still heavy in her features. Claudia is one of the students from Chopin who came to take part in the Battle Royale, her the third time taking part in the competition. Her best position thus far being reaching the Eighth-finals on the previous year, this time Claudia was aiming for the top and no one will be able to quench her flame… mostly.

[color=f26522]“Aww! How cold!”[/color] Claudia shouted, no doubt waking up half of the inn with her as she tried to wash her face to wake up. [color=f26522]“Man, this mountain water is as cold as ice. Well, at least I’m awake now, better get dressed and find something to eat before the tournament begins.”[/color] The knight said to herself before dipping further under the shower. A few minutes later and Claudia was already on the streets the look out of a nice place to grab a bite. [color=f26522]“Maybe, should I try that maid café they said that is somewhere close to the market? Hmm…”[/color] Claudia set on her way to said café, humming a random tune that popped on her head.
