"You've seen warriors rise tonight," the commentator continued, his voice dropping to a dramatic hush. "But this isn't just another challenger. This is the man whose name ignites excitement wherever it's spoken. A journey that began with whispers of talent, a flicker of promise amidst the vast world of beast masters... has now become a roaring inferno!"

The crowd's volume swelled, a tidal wave of excitement as they realized who was about to enter the arena.

Across the arena, the opposing tunnel lit up, revealing the figure of his challenger, the reigning champion of the Ardentwood Region: Aric Thorne, known as The Iron Bastion.
