61 Uncouth Little Bra (1/2)
After the contract was completed, Alexander bid his daughter farewell as he had to return to his work, leaving Andria and the kitten on their own, with only a few Wilderwolf soldier's guardian them. Openly at least.
With nothing else to do, Andria and Lexa decided to have a look around the city, see what there is to do.
So now, Andria was walking merrily through the streets of Skyview City, the kitten lying snugly in her little hands.
Morning was in full swing now and people were beginning to crowd the narrow streets as the children played and the adults traveled towards their work.
They were now in the central area of the district, where many shops and businesses were dealing in the magical. At the side of a street, Andria pointed the kitten's attention to a small group of performers who were using magic to entertain a group of kids and their parents.
”Wow, that woman just jumped through that loop of fire.” Andria exclaimed in awe.
Their were many other performers like this throughout this area of the city and became more common as the two got closer and closer to the tip of the hill on which Skyview City is situated upon. At the tip of the hill, a large tower stood, and the kitten looked in awe as they reached the outskirts of that tower.
”Its huge!” Lexa couldn't help but exclaim. Andria nodded enthusiastically in agreement as she also took in the great sight of that tower.
”Daddy says its called the Cloud Viewing Tower.” Andria finally spoke.
”Hmm.” Lexa mumbled when she noticed the noisy sound of various voices not too far from them. Searching left and right, she quickly found the source of this noise.
Outside of a rather large building that nearly matched Cloud Viewing Tower in its grandness and size, a group of maybe 100 people or even more had gathered and the sound of excitement and exclamations were travelling throughout the area ceaselessly.
The gathering wasn't getting smaller as well, as several more people were joining the excited gathering of people one after the other. The people consisted of mainly young teenagers, but there were also some elderly, couples and families joining in with the excitement as well.
”Oh, what's going on over there?” Andria also came to notice the gathering group of people and turned to ask one of the Wilderwolf soldier's what it was about.
”To answer the Young Miss, if I've remembered correctly, these people should be lining up to watch the Hawk Academies Youth Tournament.” The Wilderwolf Soldier amiably answered.
”Hawk Academy?” Andria tilted her head in thought. ”Ah! The one from Falcon City, what are they doing here?”
”The Hawk Academies Youth Tournament usually takes place outside of Falcon City, its a sort of advertisement to draw in new students.” The Wilderwolf soldier further explained. ”Crow Academy does the same.”
”Hmm, hmm. I see, I see.” Andria put on a wise front and nodded seriously. 'Andria didn't understand any of that, what does adve-whatever even mean...'
”So is this a fighting tournament between Magician's?” Lexa's voice cut in, she was also curious about this. 'This might be a good chance to get some more experience.'
”Ah, yes. I believe today is the preliminaries, so that's why everyone seems so excited. In fact, the tournament shouldn't start till noon, by then, the people lining up will be in the several thousands.”
”Thank you.” Lexa thanked the man before turning her attention to the gathering of people ahead of them, which was still growing bigger and bigger as they speak. It was now at the several hundreds.
”Should we watch the tournament, Little Fang?” Andria looked at the kitten expectantly, she loved watching Magical fights. She would always be first in line to watch all of Jonathan and Uncle Kil's spars. Which basically meant she watched fights nearly on a daily basis.
”Yeah, I want to see it too!” The kitten answered excitedly. ”Its just that we'll have to wait until noon till it starts...”
”...” Andria turned to face the same soldier from before, whose lips turned into a wry smile, understanding her meaning instantly.
”Don't worry Young Miss, you two can play about till noon, by the time you come back, you'll be able to enter the tournament without waiting in line.”
”How sweet of them.” Andria nodded smilingly.
”...” Lexa was speechless. 'The benefits of the rich is limitless...'
The soldier, joined another as they headed off in the direction of that grand building while several other soldier's remained by Andria and Lexa's side. In fact, two more soldier's had joined their group at some point, Lexa was befuddled at when they did.
'These guys are really good, I can't sense any of them.' Lexa had understood that they were being followed by lots of Wilderwolf soldier's, but she had yet to detect any of them yet so far.
