Endless whispers filled the coliseum. With the final showdown approaching, every conversation centered around it.
Numerous theories were thrown around on both sides about who was most likely to win.
Many favored the lightning prince. With his mysterious ability to copy other rune arts so effortlessly, many envisioned the same thing happening during the final. The Korrath candidate, as well as Heno, had both fallen in exactly that manner.
But many also favored Vaelor Ocren. Also Mark Six, every single one of his fights had ended swiftly, without any visible strain. Kaelion had fallen the same way.
Some proposed that Vaelor could possibly end the battle before Zephyrion ever got the chance to copy his art, while others argued that Vaelor being Mark Six himself would make it far harder for Zephyrion to even copy the Ocren art.
The people were torn.
Yet that only intensified the excitement.
