The O family garden was filled with guests. Every corner of the garden was lit with torches, lighting up the whole place. People were laughing and conversing with each other while enjoying the food provided to them. Wine was flowing like a river at the party.

The O family had strived to provide the best for their guests, the occasion demanded it. For the first time in 100 years of their existence, a member of the O family has reached the pinnacle.

The first member of the O family to be the champion of this city. A Star Mark against their name will forever be attached to them. A point of pride for any family who strives to succeed in the sport.

The garden had benches carved from stones as well as wooden tables and chairs placed around a fountain of water. All of them facing a wooden stage at the other side of the garden. Currently, a few people walked on to the stage and faced the guests.

The guests noticed the movement and slowly but surely fell in silence. Their eyes trained towards the people on the stage, waiting and wondering.

An old man cleared his throat while he faced all the guests.

“I, Granover ‘O’ Ronos, Prefect of the O Family, is pleased to see so many of you esteemed people of this city could join us on our historic moment.

I would love to say some words to all of you, but first I would like to call the person who is responsible for our celebration.

Fair people of this glorious city, join me in welcoming the New Armed Combat Champion, Jann Bollo.”

Jann made his way to the stage while slinging his gold plated belt over his shoulder. He still sported his small grey beard over his face, but he had a huge smile on his face.
