Water Moon, Still stream

"Why did they have to arrange such a troublesome thing for me again..." A young man looked at the arena around him. Technically, it would be more accurate to say he looked at the arena below him, but those where mere details in the mind of the young man.

Estimating the size of the area and the several forms and their sizes, he deduced that the overall length was around 190 a 195 meter long while being somewhere between 160 and 160 meter wide, which would most likely equate to a base area of something around 6.5 acres. Guessing the sizes brought another piece of possible information to his mind, namely that the arena was not round as one would expect, but more elliptical in shape.

He didn't even have to guess the height of the walls to know that the outer walls where between 55 and 60 meter high, he knew how high he was himself in the air. The inner walls could not have been higher than 10 meter at most, seeing as they would be high enough to make sure the contestants could not climb up out of the arena but low enough so that the visitors of that time could see the despair in the eyes of the ones that where sentenced to death in the arena.

The different sizes of thickness that the walls seemed to have did catch his eyes, being at the center and at the most outer rim being approximately 5 meters thick where-as the other walls began to show signs of ageing and damage since holes and cracks could be found in most while there where even some of the smaller ones shattered. Most of the seating seemed to have been removed too, most likely through robbers or people that just passed by.

The part precisely opposite of the entrance had a somewhat monumental façade comprising two stories of superimposed arcades surmounted by a podium which carried an attic. The arcades could vaguely be recognised as being covered with creatures of myth and stories, while the attic still carried the carvings of different roses.

Closing his eyes while listening to the surroundings, he waited to see if the man called Knight of the Looking Glass would come or not.
