The morning air was crisp and fresh, the rain from the night before having left the surrounding woods with a refreshed, clean smell. The sun had risen above the trees by now, but the ground was still slightly damp, and the leaves were glistening with droplets of water that had not yet evaporated.

The air was filled with excitement and anticipation, the people of Lotus buzzed with anticipation as they prepared for the final round of the competition. They could feel the energy in the air, knowing that today's day was going to be decisive.
