People were still coming to the arena, all of whom began to fill the seats one after another.
Alex's family arrived a few short minutes later but sat far in the back, doing absolutely nothing to show that they were with him. The last thing Alex wanted would be for the Gods and their people to remember who his family were and use them in the future to hurt him.
He had made way too many enemies to give them that chance.
Scarlet at least had wanted to be there, to be in her bird form to show everyone that he had a phoenix in his corner. But sadly, the black feathers on her body made her appear to be an impure phoenix, even though having the Midnight Phoenix's beast core had made her purer than she could be.
They couldn't reveal that, so Scarlet had to stay at the back along with everyone else. Even Whisker was there, waiting to watch from afar today.
