It was the talk of Pheonicia, where I currently live. You would hear about the tournament on the streets, in the bars, and it was even posted on trees. Seeing as I was a young Phoenix in training being only 100, I didn't have any interest in a silly little tournament.

Not only am I young, I'm an imperfect being who shouldn't be here. No one knew how I became half-human half-bird, and I decided to go to Pheonicia early so I don't feel too... imperfect. (And to participate of course, which is difficult being half human.)

But when I stare up into the bright Sun, I remember my mother saying this to me, "Your imperfections are what make you perfect." Every time I heard about the tournament, I would think of her and how she wouldn't hesitate to to enter to make friends and to have fun. So, here I am I guess... in the tournament.
