The arena had never been this full.
Guests poured in from every tribe—scaled, furred, winged—filling every tier, every balcony, every shadowed corner.
The air buzzed with voices layered over one another, restless, expectant as this was the last round of the Beastladylord Contest.
Not all of them came for the crown, that is, to see who would win. Most came just for her—Miss Ruellda of Scales Tribe.
Linda stood among the final contestants which were Kapitica, Fedora, Laithe and herself after Ezzra and Kaka had been evicted on the last round.
Although, it was the final round so all the evicted contestants were back to watch the final round, as viewers not contestans anymore.
Linda's posture was steady, though her fingers brushed once against her side in a quiet grounding motion.
She wondered why every eyes followed her.
Some eyes were curious. Some doubtful. Some… waiting.
They were definitely not sure she would win, but they were sure she would do something worth watching.
