Some time ago, just as Enchantia predicted, the contestants of various ages and species entered into the palace. There were old-aged mutants, ferocious beasts, sly men, and so on.
Everyone realized they would no longer be divided based on their age and race. Those from the older generation were pleased while the younger generation felt gloomy.
The gloominess only increased when a short clarification rang through the palace.
{{The rule of protection only applies to members of the same species.}}
Everyone understood what it implied. Beasts, birds, and humans can attack anyone but members of their own species. So far, everyone was divided based on species so no one needed to know this.
Still, despite the announcement, no one attacked. They didn't want to waste their energy in any unnecessary conflict.
Humans and beasts might have frequent racial wars but this was not the time to think about that!
You will be getting what you have waiting for ;)
