"Welcome… to The Great Escape!" The announcer shouted.
The man making the announcement looked like a phoenix that had achieved a human form after nirvana. The red hair on the head coupled with the costume makeup on his angular face made him look a bit like a beautiful bird.
Well, he also had a peacock-like pair of wings on his back.
But the most dramatic thing was that he appeared from the ceiling of the arena, hanging from barely visible wires. As he descended, a totem-like podium seemed to sprout from the ground. It had an old and traditional look that spelt mysterious practices.
As he stepped on his strange platform after his flight, the phoenix man was exposed properly on the screens.
"Get ready… for a competition that will burn your hearts and chill your bones." He said with outstretched arms.
The declaration caused the crowd to scream at a beloved familiar face. "Firebird! Firebird! Firebird!"
