"WHO'S READY TO RUMBLEEEEEE!"
Confetti, balloons, and sparks fill the air as the arena filled with spectators roar in excitement. The FireVideo Prime broadcast pans out to capture the millions of incensed onlookers at their seats facing the humongous Jumbotron showing off an arena filled with vines and trees and greenery. There were many splitscreens covering various humans that were standing in the jungle, all of which looked tense yet frozen in place.
"Once again it is I, Syclus, your host for the newly rebooted Dreamscape Open! Did you miss me chat?"
The Tw*tch chat exploded as messages started flying upward faster than any eyes could read. They were filled with greetings, emotes, and text art of various beautiful women, one of which being Nephis.
An avatar of an exquisitely handsome, slightly older man is sitting at an analyst desk, addressing the audience at home.
"Yes, yes, I missed you guys as well. I thought I would never be able to host another one of these tournaments after the Great Exodus, but here we are!
I'd like to introduce a dear colleague of mine, one that you all are very familiar with: Dimi!"
The chat erupted with another round of greetings and hand wave emotes as an older man with sharp features, deep eyes, and a short beard appeared on camera.
"Hello friends, it as been quite a while hasn't it? Syclus, you brat, how have you been?"
"Quite well my friend, quite well. Glad to have you back with your expertise with the Dreamscape.
My dear audience, we have been blessed with one more special guest who has graced us with her appearance. Before we reveal them, please have a guess at who has joined us."
The chat started spilling out names as the viewers took guesses.
'OOo, Saint Athena!'
'Is it Fire Keeper Sid??!'
'Athena! Athena!'
'Mommy Soul Reaper?'
'Ayo?!'
'I agree with that man, Mommy Jet please!'
'Please be Nightingale oppa!'
'OUR GODDESS?!'
'I'll take Naeve-sama'
'What about the owner of the Eye Candy Cafe?!'
'Dude, didn't he betray all of humanity by going out with our Goddess?'
'But he's so dreamy…'
'DEATHSINGER!!!'
'MOMMY BEASTMASTER!'
'HOLY FUCK YOU GUYS ARE HORNY'
'What about Saint Tyris?'
'Goddess-sama!'
'OOOH! What about Lady Cassia?!'
"B-b-bingo! We have a winner!"
The entire chat slowed to a halt in anticipation of what Syclus would say.
"I am honored to introduce to our analyst desk the one, the only, Saint Cassia!"
The camera turned and widened to reveal a stunning blonde haired woman with delicate features. A blue blindfold was covering her eyes. She raised her hand for a small wave before greeting the chat.
"Hello everyone, I am Saint Cassia and I will be your third analyst for this broadcast.
The chat exploded.
Hundreds of blindfold adorning text images, thousands of messages flew by in seconds, while thousands more replaced them. It was a frenzy of barely discernible text that flew at the speed of light.
'OMG HI CASSIE!'

'PLEASE MARRY ME!'

'You're so pretty!!!'

'Lady Cassia!'

'Can I be your boyfriend??'
~

'PLEASE MARRY ME!!!'

'WE LOVE YOU LADY CASSIA'

'Is Lady Nephis single??'

'Notice me senpai!'

"Aha, I see that I have quite a fan base! Get it? 'I see'?
Anyways, for those who don't know me, I am Saint Cassia, a Seer and Lady Nephis's council. I handle much of her day to day business, and I have been with her ever since we became sleepers.
I have decided to be an analyst here as my abilities can share some insight into the many new fighters who are willing to take a shot at becoming one of our new Fire Keepers.
Thank you Syclus and Dimi for having me, please take care of me."
Cassie proceeded to bow in front of the other two analysts.
"Of course, of course! We are honored to be working with such an experienced awakened!"
Syclus and Dimi both bowed in response to Cassie.
"Although, I believe our audience would like to know how you can perceive us and the screen when you are blind. Would you care to explain?"
Cassie responded,
"Of course! My flaw renders me blind, but my awakened abilities allow me to see with other people's sight. I essentially mark those around me so that I can see what they see. It's like the many split screens that the crowd in front of us are looking at."
