Palestra Trials, Part One.

[Wakahashi]

This is the amended script from my portion, if anyone is interested. I would love to see the others' logs as well. I will post Part 2 tomorrow evening if I can.

[Academy Nexus, Palestra Arena]
Built in an outside area of the academy, the arena is surrounded by a wall of clear energy that rises into the air, joining at a central focal point and creating a shimmering dome. Several passageways can be seen behind the magical barrier. The ground of the area is covered in multi-hued cobblestones. There are no adornments or obstacles that can be seen except random areas that are blackened or discolored.
Also here: Blade Schalyne
Obvious paths: out

Interlocking your fingers, you slowly extend your arms up over your head in a long, satisfying stretch.

Slowly turning your shoulders to the left, you stretch the muscles in your lower back.
