The Arena of Epiphany buzzed with a confused, almost frustrated energy.
All the lifeforms watching across the cosmos stared at their system panels, their collective gaze fixed on the empty battleground where Thorn, the majestic green dragon, was supposed to be fighting.
Instead, he remained in the stands, a serene, motionless statue wrapped in a cocoon of shimmering golden light, lost in the depths of his epiphany.
The live chat, usually a torrent of cheers and jeers, was now a confused murmur.
Lifeform1537: "Why did Champion Thorn forfeit? He could have won easily! I wanted to see him use those Dragon Words everyone talks about!"
Lifeform26379: "Maybe his epiphany isn't over? He's been like that for months now."
Lifeform16738: "You guys, stop worrying about the dragon! Look at Arena 435! There's an insane fight going on between a werewolf champion and a vampire lord! This is epic!"
