The matches proceed in a blur. Ten beasts get knocked out of the tournament. Ninety left.
It doesn't even seem that any time has passed before the announcer calls the next match.
"Gussie of House Riddlehoeven and Peridot of House Riddlehoeven against Magali and Karafa of House Chikat."
Recovered, Gussie and Peridot, with Lamant and Niall, climb onto one end of the floating platform while the tamers from House Chikat mount the slab along with their beasts. A large golden-and-purple eagle hovers beside a jade green Komodo dragon. Their tamers, brown-skinned husband and wife Rama and Arora, face Lamant and Niall with proud dignity.
The stats of their opponents flash across the screens and in System's displays.
