Mini Dimatou Enbu

Alexander walked into the Grand Magic stadium with Kinana slithering besides him. "Hm... It would seem that we are a bit early wouldn't you say Kinana?" asked Alexander with a teasing tone. "Yessssss..... very early." hissed Kinana. Alexander nodded in acknowledgement and sat upon a high wall that was concealed within the shadows that surrounded it. He observed the Grand Magic stadium, it seemed to be a huge circular arena with many seats for spectators. The walls were 16 meters high and boxed in the contestants in a way that they couldn't leave. On opposite sides of the stadium, stood two huge gates from which the contestants entered from. The boxes that were reserved for each contestant were facing opposite sides. Sighing and waiting for the members of his team that he had handpicked to show up, he fed Kinana a piece of rabbit meat.

Eternia rode Roxy into teh arena. There was Alexander sitting with his giant snake, Kinana. Roxy sighed and walked on streaching his giant wings. Eternia grabbed some chocolate out of her bag and started eating it. Why I am so nervous? she thought as she devoured teh bar. She looked at her bar and it had gone. She wiped her face which was covered in chocolate and felt a chill down her spine. I never feel the cold she thought as she suddenly got excited. All I need to worry about. Is that Kai person that took her magic!!

Frederick walked slowly into the arena, and stood still a few meters away from Alexander. Not saying anything, or even moving he just stood stare. Covered in his hooded cloak.
The arena was truly a magnificent sight, but he wasn't here to look around. Today he was invited for a competition of some sorts.
He noticed that a girl from the other team had just landed on the arena grounds. He started at her for a little bit, even if she couldn't see his face.

Ace was still sleeping while the others gathered. He lay there in his bed half awake and half asleep. Turning his head he stare at the clock: 10.43 in the morning…
“HOLY SHIT!” yelled Ace as he realized how late he was. Quickly dashing around his room he searched for his clothes. First his trousers, then shirt, coat and shoes. Still struggling with a shoe he held his coat under one arm, held his shirt between his teeth and cast his green card for teleportation. As a ring of other cards formed around him he finally managed to get the shoe on his foot. However, before he could put on the shirt he stood in front of two men and a girl…half naked and his five sevens on the chest clearly visible.

It is at the entrance of the arena and Kai rode his pet Liger back to enter the arena."Arggh,im late,im late."said Kai in desperation as he late for some competition or somesort like that.Kai is invited by someone unknown to enter the competition and Kai just accepted it without questions.As Kai enter the arena,he is astonished by the huge arena but what he really amused him is the atmosphere at the arena as it is very tense.Kai step down from his Liger and walked slowly with his Liger to the middle of the arena as he could see some people he knew too."Ehh,its Eternia,hehe."giggle Kai."This gonna be a big feast for me."said Kai with excitement as he have his own plan for the event.

When Aldous stepped into the stadium with Abraxis by his side, he could only give a sigh as he pressed his hand against the side of his head, almost stumbling from an unusual stab of pain, as if the thing inside him was still trying to make him recall even more of the past he so vehemently buried within himself. "Are you alright, partner?" Abraxis had noticed the little movement from Aldous, his voice with a caring tone, concerned at Aldous' twisted expression.

"I'm fine, Abraxis," Aldous tried to take in a brief breath of fresh air that served to clear his thoughts, his eyebrows that had scrunched up in pain a moment ago now releasing the tension in relief. His eyes widening at the sight of the high, impregnable walls of the Grand Magic stadium, Aldous scanned the area with cool analytic precision, noticing the quite recognizable Magic Council member Alexander sitting on a high place that likely had the entire stadium in full clear view. "He looks rather tough, don't you think?" Abraxis whispered. Aldous ignored him, keeping his careful look-around of the area and its other participants. First of all was the rather spectacular entrance of a shirtless black-haired man with five large tattoos of sevens across his bare chest. Not only that, he only had one shoe on. And then there was the liger-accompanied man who strolled in with a large smile on his face, as if he had just chanced upon a sumptuous feast. As for the only girl riding her horse, she seemed rather nervous, out-of-place among this group of misfits. Then there was the hooded figure, dark and mysterious. Aldous felt like he should watch out for him as well.

What an unusual event. It was only just this morning that he received the invite and with nothing better to do, he might as well join if there was money involved. Cracking his neck with a preparatory snap, Aldous gave a grunt as he tried to shrug off that little pain within him, standing at his zone, with the little girl and the shirtless man. Surely, he was put together with a bunch of strange people.

Freya yawned and scrunched her eyes looking over at the bed on the other side of her shared room that usually occupied Eternia and blinked suprised, jumping out of her bed and running over the door that bad a note stuck on it simply reading "Come to the Era Arena" it didn't say so it was from but Freya decided to go quickly tossing on a skirt and turtle neck sweater and sprinting out the doo hitch hiking on a wagon towards the arena. She ran through the gates and looked around suprised having no idea what was going on, but seeing a few familiar faces and instantly being comforted. She said Eternia with her pet and wandered over seeing Aldous and smiling, before frowning as she spotted the bicycle but continued walking over to her friend, that was when she realised she was the last person there and groaned "urgh seriously, hey eternia can you tell me whats going on" she asked seriously confused and looking around at the other mages wondering what they all were here for. She raised as eyebrow at the half named boy but turned back to Eternia hoping the guy wasn't planning to fight like that, at least that's what she thought they were here for seeing as it was an arena she looked curiously around noting the high walls and ancient looking gates she had walked through.

Alexander smirked, it had seemed that all participants had now arrived. Stepping out from his resting spot, he announced: "Greetings fellow mages. You have all gathered here today for a Mini-Grand Magic Games. These grand magic games will involve a series of challenges that each team must face. I am about to divide all of you into teams of 3 and 4. For each challenge, you may only send one participant from each team forwards to face the oncoming task. The winning participant will score one point for their team. First team to reach five points wins, and one more thing, the winning participant will get a prize." He contained his chuckle when he saw many of the assembled mages beam upon hearing the word 'prize'. "Well then, without further adue, shall we get the party started?" Alexander pointed towards the far end of the stadium, "Team one will consist of Frederik, Kai Shibatake, and Alexander. In team two, we have Eternia, Freya, Aldous and Twisted Fate. May the odds be ever in your favor." said Alexander as he walked towards the far end of the stadium to prepare his team for the upcoming challenges.

Eternia walked over to her side of teh arena. She wasn'y very confident but she had many friends in her team. She looked at Freya who was smiling at her. Odds in her favour? It sounded like The Hunger Games. She doughted it would be in her favour but she wanted to have fun anyways. Wait. The Hunger Games werrn't fun. She felt a sick feeling in her stomach but quickly thought of not letting her team down. She looked at her team. She had met most of them apart from Twisted. She looked at the other team and sighed. She had a baad feeling about this. She patted Roxy and waited for the others to talk.

One by one the other participants dropped by in the arena. After introduction were made by Alexander, he calmly walked towards the other end of the Arena. Where Frederick was already waiting and carefully observing his other teammate Kai Shibatake. He felt a dark presence coming from him and he looked sort of evil. However it appeared that he was from the legal guild Silver Whale.

Till know he still hadn't said anything, he didn't found it necessary to introduce himself. He didn't care for the other people. The longer he was here, the more likely he was going to exposed a the dark mage he was. So he would rather have this over quickly. Frederick decided he wouldn't wait any longer and stepped forwards 'I will go first...' his cold voice sounded hollow from under the hood of his cloak.

Ace finished dressing as Alexander finished her announcement. He found it odd that a member of the Magic Council was NOT on the team of Rune Knights, but he shrugged it off as a fun challenge. The word games echoed in his mind sending a wave of glee through his entire body. Maybe he could finally show his true potential after his loss against Giyo. Seeing how other members of his team moved to the other side of the stadium he followed suit, smiling and studying the two girls in his team. One’s definitely too young, but the other…maybe…just maybe…NAW! Not colleagues. I gotta set me some boundaries! Not that “internal Affairs" is gonna crawl up my ass he thought to himself.
As a member of the other team seemed to step forward for the first challenge Ace got very anxious to test his ability again but held back. He must study his foe before striking…that’s what cost him his last battle.

When Alexander has finished with his announcement,all of them is divided into two group and Kai got stuck with two other mages,Fred and Alexander but Kai is rather very excited as he could felt a very huge presence of aura coming out of them so they must be quite a challenge.Kai get his pet Liger and moved on to the side of the arena with his other teammates.

As Kai is patting and playing with his Liger suddenly Kai knew that he is being observed by someone that is Fred so he quickly looked at Fred with a very creepy smile and giggle alone."It must be fun,It must be fun"said Kai repeating that words again and again as he kept on giggle alone with his Liger.

The tension in the air......it was so dense, so tangible he could almost just reach out and mold it between his fingers. Aldous was surprised when he realized Freya was in the same group as him. He wondered how much that girl has improved from their last mission together. Either way, together with her, the horse-rider and the suave-looking half-naked man who was no doubt in Aldous' mind a flirt, they are going to have to make a ragtag group of peeps who are now standing before their opponents.

It was really funny really. One side had the group of nervous and comedic-looking people who just seemed like newbies, with one of them without a shoe to (no pun intended) boot. And the other.....well....

First of all, there was Alexander. Now there's a menace right there, as he strode through his team like a natural-born leader, and like a natural-born killer. His chuckle was more than just a mere gesture; it was a sign of dominance. A sign that their opponent was confident in winning.

And the hooded man. Frederick, right? The garb spelled bad news and the way the man just took a step forward and volunteered himself without a single moment of hesitation, his voice almost sounding bored and uninterested in this Magic Game. It just sent shivers down Aldous' spine. It reminded him of his childhood, the void within those simple vocal cords. A dark one.

Finally, there was Kai, an enigma within his serious-looking team. His giggling, his smiles, his prancing about excitedly, they were so unnerving. And the way he danced as he chanted how fun it would be, it was creepy, Aldous knew it. That man was not one that can strike you as powerful, but he was instead chaotic, a force that, though not the strongest, is still crazily unpredictable.

"Are you scared~? Are you actually afraid~?" Aldous felt rage burn through him as the thing within his head taunted him at his inner fear of his opponents. He was not ashamed of his fear, only hesitant because of it. And yet, somehow, that thing was goading him on. His fist clenching into a tight strong ball, Aldous bit his lower lip as he muttered out. "I'll go first."

Freya looked up as Alex addresses the group and almost choked on the apple she was munching on what! A mini grand magic games she thought in her head moaning to herself, she really did have a habit of getting herself into bad situations. She perked up as Alex explained there was a suprise wondering what it would be as she wondered closer to her team glad she knew everyone, well almost everyone except the man who appeared half naked in the arena she was glad he had put some clothes on and regarded him uncertainly wondering who he was, she decided to introduce herself and smiled awkwardly "I'm Freya, and since we're in the same team I just thought I'd introduce myself, I use earth magic by the way" she said looking back over at Alex seeing he had nothing else to say she looked over the opponent team, sighing as where realised she knew none of the members apart from Alex seeing as he was the head if the Rune Knights. She sighed realising how pathetic their team must look next to the others, she didn't know much about Alex's team other than they must be pretty powerful if they were in league with Alex, She wasn't to sure about the giggly person and the lygra finding him extremely creepy and turning back to her teammates wondering who would volunteer themselves when Aldous muttered an "I will" she looked momentarily suprised but smiled knowing he was fully capable after what she saw on their mission.

Alexander smiled as Frederik stepped up to the challenge. He had known Frederik since they were both weak mages, thus, he felt a connection with the dark mage. Alexander knew that Frederik was no weakling and that his magic would come in handy for challenges. Nonetheless, he walked to the center of the field and generated a huge dice. "This dice will determine what challenge the participants shall undergo first. May the odds be ever in your favor." said Alexander as he tapped upon the dice. The dice started to spin with unparalleled speed and gradually slowed down to a complete halt. A light burst from within the dice and it announced: "ANARCHY". Alexander ran quickly back to the booth as a maze rose from the stadium grounds. Alexander observed the labyrinth, it was made of stone and moss. Not a moment too soon, a dark shadow erupted from beneath the maze and consumed it. Alexander glanced at Frederik and gave him the signal to advance towards the first challenge.

Frederick silently watched as the walls overgrown with moss rose from the ground in front of him. Creating the puzzling maze. Something you didn't saw clearly everyday.
Next an darkness covered the entire labyrinth, and stopped right before the feet of Frederick. Frederick found this very thoughtful, now people couldn't navigate on the sun and the shadows. But for him this was nothing, the darkness was his element. From all the dark mages in his guild he was the one most affiliated with the dark elements.
But still he had to tread carefully, he still didn't know what magic the other mage used.

He received the signal of approval from Alexander and he calmly walked into the darkness and the maze. It was nostalgic, the walls seemed ancient. Like the many ruins he had visited in his past.
But this wasn't the time to admire these walls.
Even so that his magic allowed him to peer through the darkness, the maze was still confusing. He couldn't see far because every turn he made he looked straight at another corner or intersection.
It was starting to be a drag, and Frederick only thought of one other solution. He had to take the other mage out before he reached the end of the labyrinth.

Frederick stopped walking. And started to concentrate. 'Minions from the shadows... Come forth!'. His words echoed against the walls of the maze and two black humanly shaped apparitions appeared before Frederick. Silently waiting for his words of command 'There is another mage here.... Hunt him down...'

Minions Duration: 3

His eyes wandering up towards the top of the giant walls that are almost beginning to covered in the impending fog of darkness, Aldous felt himself give a sigh as the entrance that he was supposed to enter into was consumed by the black void that threatened to murk his vision.

"Aw~. Is that it~? I'm sure Master taught us how to handle something like this~?" The thing inside him clucked its tongue at this trivial-looking task, not even giving a care about the fact that there was no light as Aldous begun to enter the maze with barely a sound. Except turning to his teammates and saying ,"Wish me luck...."

The moment the darkness came rolling around him and clouded his vision into nonexistence, Aldous had felt comforted at home, as he just sat down, at most a few paces away from the entrance he had just entered the maze into. He did not move, neither did he even twitch. He felt at home in the darkness, something his late teacher had always pushed into him was the embracing of the dark.

Even though he could not see in this maze, his hearing was also top-notch. And then the sound. The sound of a summoning, the almost light and silent drop of two pairs of feet. And then there was the voice. The cold voice of that hooded mage Frederick. It was a mistake to speak inside this type of place. A mistake that Frederick seemed confident of making. It was likely, no, definitely that this guy also did not fear the dark. And his lack of reliance on hearing and allowing himself to be that loud. Those indicated at something. The mage was attuned to the dark. Somehow, Aldous was sure his opponent felt just as home in the black void as much as he, if not more, for him to be so at ease. And all that was affirmed when the words "Minions from the shadows" came to his ears.

Of course, it was either shadow magic or darkness magic. Either one gave Frederick the advantage in this terrain; there was little doubt about that. Thus, Aldous decided he had to play smart. Himself still sitting down on the ground with his eyes, now useless anyway, closed, Aldous felt himself calm his heartbeat down to a slow crawl as he meditated, ignoring the surge of darkness around him. Besides, the darkness just made it so much easier for him to concentrate in the first place. Clasping his two palms together, Aldous' eyebrows creased as he focused on his spell, the massive seal already beginning to cover the entire maze as its invisible form slowly rose to the sky, out of the sight of everyone. Raising his palms out into the air, Aldous finally opened his eyes as the seal revealed in the sky, well above the shadows of the maze. He could not see it now, but his bonds with it told him of his location. As bit by bit of his energy begin to sap under the stress of the spell, Aldous felt comfort in the fact that his meditation had staved off much of the energy drain from this usually heavy-duty spell.

Giving out a short gasp of breath, Aldous shook his head as he got back up, the giant seal in the air looming ominously over the maze. "Well, let's go," Aldous said casually as he begun to walk further into the maze, following, just like how his master always taught him, the echo of his voice.

Without a trace of sound the summoned apparitions quickly advanced through the maze. Like they exactly know where they were going. Most likely because of a spell that was activated just now. Frederick's opponent did something. Something that could turn this contest around completely.
For some reason Frederick had the feeling that his opponent was strong and was just like him in a way. Accustomed to the darkness, only in Frederick's eyes this man was fighting on the wrong side.

And there is was, as Frederick calmly walked through the maze he felt through the connection he had with his minions that they found the other mage. 'I know where I have to go' he thought. Following the path of the connection he had with his minions. He knew that he was getting closer the minute this feeling grew stronger and stronger.

His minions on the other hand were now quietly stalking, waiting for the opportunity to strike. But Frederick was convinced that the other mage could felt their presence in the dark. But they were ordered to attack anyway. And so they did. Fast and nimble moving through the darkness the dashed towards the other mage. Trying to attack him with their claws.

And there they are. Those two pairs of light feet just sliding almost silently over the ground. He knew that they would come here after his great preparation. And then the one behind. More heavy and solid. Definitely it was the mage. And the other two must have been some form of summons, or worse, the darkness itself taking form. His right arm begins to shiver and Aldous felt the pull. That was right. He had a seal that created a homing disc of black concussive fire. However, before its activation, the seal was strapped to his right arm and even now, it's homing ability was still intact, taking readings from the magical energy of his opponent. Right now, he knew the angle from which each enemy was coming relative to him and thus as he kept on clucking his tongue to create a sonar-like effect, following it to find his way through the maze.

It was simple really, getting through the maze. Every single echo that came back to him, he could discern the volume of the echo. And all he needed to do was to follow the faintest echo, because that sound wave had travelled through the path that would lead directly to the exit and then lost some of its energy that went out of the maze via the exit and hence return back to Aldous as the faintest echo.

And thus he kept on following his leading echo, while using his right arm to discern the position of his enemy. The stronger he felt the pull from his seal, the closer his enemy should be. And he had already memorized the strength signatures of his opponents, thus he could discern the shadows and the real mage.

Did the young man also had to mention that, in order to circumvent the fact that using the homing disk alone would only point out the angle at which his enemy was coming at, he was now walking in the air half-way up the height of the walls, his remaining Amaterasu seals around his body keeping himself afloat with the Seal Floater ability? And so as a result, the pull of his seal was now pointing at a three-dimensional scale, not only allowing Aldous to discern where his enemy was coming from, but also how far he and his enemies were.

As for the shadow minions that were obviously stalking him from behind, they were close, at least three metres away, but not close enough, thanks to Aldous being up in the air. For that massive seal high up above the entirety of the maze finally began to activate and the sigils across its circular face begun to melt away, as drops of pure magical energy begun to descend from the seal, falling into the maze. As part of his echolocation, Aldous murmured under his breath the name of his spell. "Amaterasu Formula #37: Heavy Rain....." And thus it rained in the maze.

Drops of energy scattering through the entirety of the labyrinth, the ground burned and smoked under the intense burning effect of the drops, while any small plants and weeds were also crushed under the concussive impact, as they felt the heaviness of the rain now drenching the maze.

The same would be felt by the minions and Frederick. Not only would their speed will be slowed down by the heavy sensations imposed by the drops if they try to block it them, along with the half-D-rank injury each drop gives to their target if they don't. Right now, because Frederick and the two minions had decided to move, the drops were pelting them en-masse, on both their heads as well as their chests, hence each of them at least had 4 drops assured to aim for them.

Borro traveled for days through mountains and forests, searching for a muse in order for him to further perfect his body. After nearly a week of surviving off of pinecones and stale bread, he finally discovered what he had been looking for all this time. At the top of a jagged mountain, he saw it, a creature so wonderfully perfect that nothing could compare to it at that moment. Balanced between two rocks, unnerved in its time of near peril, stood a tiny brown horse.

Laying his eyes upon the creature for the first time, Borro burst into tears at his sudden discovery. He worked harder than he ever had before to climb the mountain as fast as he could, to reach his new master. After hours of reckless climbing, he finally made to the spot that the tiny horse still remained, wedged tightly between two boulders, only being help up by its strong, powerful tiny legs. A massive sob left Borro's throat as be bowed before the mighty mini-creature. "OH GREAT AND POWERFUL HORSE THING, PLEASE TAKE ME AS YOUR DISCIPLE OF STRENGTH!" he yelled out, raising his arms high towards the horse, with nonchalantly neighed once or twice.

Borro let his head fall into his hands, nearly pained by this obvious denial. "I see that I am unworthy for your teaching! Therefore, I must show the the resolution of my will!" And with that, Borro himself leaped up and joined the small horse between the rocks, holding himself there between them with only his legs. The horse, uncomfortable with this sudden intrusion, shifted slightly, causing it to fall between the rocks, and immediately afterwards down the mountain itself. With a mighty yell, Borro leaped down from the rock after the creature, attempting to catch it.

He was able to get to it before it hit the bottom, but it was too late. The horse was badly injured, two of its legs appearing to be paralyzed. With a mighty, sorrowful cry, Borro lifted the creature onto his shoulders, and ran as fast as he could to find help. He ran for two straight days, stopping only to feed the horse and himself, though unfortunately got lost almost immediately. He ran and ran, with things looking worse by the minute. But right before it seemed that all hope was lost, suddenly a massive building stood before him. Desperate, and his eyes too filled with tears to find the actual entrance to the building, he cried out, "It is my FATE that no WALL can stop me from saving my master!" Yelling this, his Fate magic became activated, and no wall could possibly stop him or his Horse Master.

He ran straight through, crashing through, crashing through every wall until he arrived in a massive room, a dark labyrinth held within the center. Standing around the room were 5 others, each concerned as to why this man had crashed in through the wall carrying a rather decrepit looking animal on his shoulders. "PLEASE, KIND PEOPLE OF THIS STRANGE ROOM," he yelled out to them, tears flying from his face, "SAVE MY MASTER IN HIS DARKEST HOUR!"

As it seems that everyone of each team has gathered,Sole begin the event with a rool of dice which will determine the event of the challenge and what challenge awaits them.The rolled dice stopped and revealed Anarchy as the first challenge but Kai just waited there waiting as he is uninterested,"Nah,hehe i just want someone to play with."said Kai as he stare at one of the member on the other team while grinning as he already targeted one of them as his prey.

The arena suddenly filled with maze made of stone and moss and looks like each team has already one representation for each team.Fred is going to represent his team while Tac for the other team as they both stepped forward into the maze.

Things at first going good as Fred already started to move and summoned minions of dark to hunt Tac and eliminate him first before escaping the maze,"Hee,Minions,what can you do with these onions."said Kai chuckled but then Tac started using his magic too which Kai never saw before and Kai is somewhat interested more in that magic but seemingly he just seems to be meditating at the starting line without and single move and then nothin happen well that is what Kai look.Suddenly Tac started to move and cast his spell when suddenly heavy rain start to pour down on the arena which is to decimating Fred's minions as the minions attack Tac.As Kai is amused with the event,suddenly "Bammmm" someone weird enough with fit body and muscle came ran into the area and crashing the wall of the arena while carrying a weird small brown horse that got Kai attention,"Ohh cutie horse.I want that toy for my pet."said Kai with a very sadistic tone.That guy came crushing through the wall just to ask someone about rescuing his master and Kai think that is very weird well for him.

Ace barely took notice of the dice roll that took place as well as the maze. A quick glance to the side was all he spared as the contestants entered the field. Instead he was more intrigued by the girl who introduced herself and was having second thoughts…Maybe it wasn’t such a bad idea to get close to her…but only to what extent? A perplexing question for the young man but there was something else that bothered him, something lingering in the shadows, something that was stalking him.

The large predator slithered beneath the stadium stage as silent as the night. No one had noticed it’s presence except for one man; the man who called himself the beasts master. Slowly, but steadily it slithered up the walls towards him, raised its head and body over the man before… “BANZAI DIMWHIT!” and with that the 50 meter serpent came crashing down upon Ace. “Ugh…ow…” he grunted. It was his pet snake Jake; it was HIS presence that disturbed him. Groaning Ace pulled himself out from underneath, looked angrily at Jake for interrupting unannounced before attempting to make his own introduction.

At that very moment he was about to utter a word a loud crash came from behind as the wall collapsed. A large man stood there with a small horse on his back. “What in tarnation?!” he uttered in bafflement. The snake tilted its head, his cowboy hat sliding slightly off to one side he said “Dinner?”

Freya blinked suprised as the maze erupted from the earth, looking at the maze interested the stones and moss looked very strong and she wondered if the maze would stay so she could access it's materials for whatever up coming event Alex had planned. She was about to wish Aldous good luck but was too slow as he had already entered the maze and had begun meditating at the entrance. Freya looked around for the other teams contestant and saw the flutter of a cloak as the man entered the maze. She shuddered the other team sure had some creepy members, the hooded man was just plain every and that Mage with the Liger was unnerving with his giggling creepiness. She turned back to the maze suprised at Alex's clever thoughtfulness at the fact that the people on the outside could clearly see what was happening, but the contestants were in pitch darkness. She smiled to herself as Aldous prepared for a seal she was confident he could win this, although she didn't know anything about the hooded man seeing as she could not hear him or see any sign of him casting a spell.

She turned back to her teammates noticing how the young man who introduced himself as Ace seemed to be on edge. She tilted her head and raised an eyebrow wondering what it was, but found out the answer soon enough as a large snake wearing a cowboy hat and a gun on his tail burst from the ground landing on top of Ace. Freya laughed as the young man squirmed out from underneath the snake. She seemed suprised for a moment but then realising it must have been the snake that was causing the ground beneath her to move slightly. She looked up at the snake intrigued her own snake Orochi curled in her hair, her snakes blinked its beady eyes at the other snake who at the previous moment was much larger than her own "another sssmake it sssseems we make popular petssss" he pet said smugly regarding the cowboy snake.

she didn't have long to think about the amount of snakes she had net as pets as a man burst through the wall holding a tiny horse and asking for help, she shook her head so much was going on around her that she couldn't keep track of what was going in in the arena, what the other team was doing and who was arriving, she sighed and curiosily regarded the man and the horse wondering why he had burst through the wall and not used the door which was only a mere few metres away. She guessed eternia would be pleased having a soft spot for anything equine. She decided to stay put guessing that her friend would probably jump to the opportunity to help the little horse.
