There was a dense hustle and bustle in the region. It was an auditorium with a ring of seating arrangements surrounding a single platform. But high in the skies, there were pods obscured by fluttering clouds that housed even more people.
It was clear that those hidden behind these clouds were the true elites of the region, and their seating arrangements came with an expense that reflected that.
For the moment, the stage was still very much empty. The participants hadn't appeared yet—or rather they had yet to be introduced. That said, the atmosphere seemed to already be reaching a peak.

"It's unfortunate. There doesn't seem to be anyone of interest joining this time around."
A young woman wearing a particularly thin dress spoke after taking a sip of wine. Her tongue forked as she licked her lips of the droplets, her pupils becoming slit for just a moment before fading away.

"You speak like you've seen it."
"I have," Erythra said with a sly smile.
"Slut."
"Why, thank you."
The two women laughed away without a care for the world.
"I only came today because I heard that something interesting might happen." Erythra said slightly more seriously. Though to her, that only meant that she wasn't smiling from ear to ear.
"Is that so? You really do have ears everywhere."
"Yes. Seems someone is trying to lure in a big fish."
Nyssa frowned. For Erythra of all people to be so careful with her words, something quite big must be happening. But soon, that image of concentration and seriousness crumbled.
"I just might be able to find me a husband today."
