Kailen moved. The movement of his right hand was fluid, simple, yet filled with a strange sense of complexity.
Runic alphabets shimmered shortly to life. They glowed, transforming into a rune. The rune shimmered with golden illumiscence.
The audience observed, admiring the young man's skill.
Then, a runic dolphin emerged from the runes. It floated on the air as if it was swimming in an ocean.
The dolphin did not look very eye-catching.
It had golden runes shimmering over its body. It was not large, and didn't blot out the sky.
The large holographic screen hovering above the competition grounds displayed:
[ Kailen Darkhaven, rank 1 runesmith from the Astral Empire. Runeskill proficiency 99.8 percent. Placement undecided. Awaiting results of other competitors ]
The stadium fell completely silent. The cheers ceased. Every activity halted. The silence was extremely suffocating. Pin-drop silence.
