With that the group was able to make their way back to "The Pot" rather quickly. It might have just been a faster pace because of expiedency, but they arrived back in the pot as the sun was getting down. Considering the fact the group had left this morning, they probably hadn't spent more than 4 or 5 hours inside of the Labyrinth altogether.
The Pot was lit up as they came, far different than their first time back where the lights in the entire building were off and there was a terribly planned surprise party.
They could hear the sounds of music and jovial sounds among the sounds of pounding. Looking outside there were a couple of people who were beginning to set up food booths out in front of "The Pot".
Johnathan looked at he festive mood and commented, "They're making a party of it ain't they?"

"Would you like to come in? I mean, I'm sure it's fine. You came and got us and we're friends after all." Ovelia said quickly making excuses to keep the dashing knight around.

Mael looked at the Pot with some amusement. It seemed the Order of the Youngest Sage would take any opportunity they could get to hold a party. Well, let them. Personally, I just want to get some rest and read a good book. I don't have anything against having fun but... parties require so much energy. With these thoughts in his mind, Mael entered the Pot.

Johnathan smiled and responded with a, "Sure I'd be happy too...."
As he said that though, a message rang through the the magical waves of air, and came into the ears of the young members of the order, Sorry to interrupt. But Sans would like to speak to you all in the mess hall, explaining what's going to happen tomorrow, and why.

Mael, slightly disappointed that he didn't get to rest yet, followed orders and headed over to the mess hall.

"Well if you stay, I'll see you after. Boss wants us." Ovelia said to Jonathan, "See you soon!" She said giving a bow and quickly heading to the mess hall. Sooner this was over with the more Jonathan time!

With that the youngest sage members, headed to the cafateria, where Sans was sitting by, eating a burger. He seemed evidently unffuessed as he saw the others enter into the room.
Throwing up a hand to them he beckoned them over and swallowed, "I wanted you guys to know about the Colorful events that are going to happen tomorrow."
"We're having a round of Public Honor Combat against the rest of Byron's 'Pride' from the order of the rainbow dragon." He explained, "Which will be 5 more members, Alex won't be participating cause She already beat byrom, and Thane lost to anohter member of theirs earlier today."
"Arden is still in training, and because of that we won't be using him tommorow." he sighed, "So it means I'll be introducing you to two new members who are going to be joining you all. Any questions?"

"Public?" Ovelia said surprised, "I thought we usually did duels in private?" She asked with a frown. While she had normally had faith in her dueling skills, she had been crushed badly the last few days and constantly embarrassed among her team. What if she was defeated again, but this time while representing her entire guild? Not only would she look weak, but she would make everyone around her look weak.

Sans nodded "WE normally do, but Alex and Byrom had public combat a couple days ago in the market place. It's made the order of the rainbow dragon lose face."
"Because of that they want to make it seven of our new recruits versus seven of theirs, show that they win with one of their prides overall against us." Sans explained with his usual smile, "It's not preferable, but you'll get some training from this at least."

"Their members are new as well?" Ovelia asked. "I didn't think the group we saw on the first mission was new and wasn't Alex's foe with them?" She asked.
"How do we determine who fights who? Elemental make-up can play a huge part. Especially with our constructs."

Sans nodded in agreement, "It's their newest pride, to be accurate. Their pride has 3 members who aren't newbies."
Then Sans added, "Generally each pride is organized into groups of seven, who each represent a color. The exact elements can change from pride to pride, but I do know the one for the one your going up against."
"That group has Red is fire, Orange is fighting, Yellow is electricty, Green is grass, Blue is water, Indigo is dragon, and violet is ghost." He explained, "How you decide the match ups is, Each side takes turns putting up a member, and the other side picks who goes up against it. Since Byrom picked a fight, and Alex aswered it, they went first. I let Thane fight next, and he lost against their Ghost guy, a Veteran named Drakar. Next time, they'll tell us who they're picking, and then we pick one of ours to go against."

With a thought Sans said aloud, "Golif their dragon member, and Hennry their fighting guy, and as I've already said Drakar their ghost guy."

Mael absorbs this and sighs. "As long as I don't fight this Hennry person, I don't care. I just want this to be over so we can get back to our mission." He pauses for a moment. "It's not like I don't care about losing, I do have my pride and I don't want the guild to lose face, but our mission is just more important to me. I don't have an advantage against any of these people, so Red, Green and Indigo would be fine as opponents for me."

Looking at Mael, he nodded, "Something to think about."
Sans turned away from the group, and nodded. It seemed he was listening to sheldon as he talked to them over his mental magic.
With a nod he said to the group, "You're new compatriots that you'll be fighting with are coming in right now."
Moving over to the door he waved the two new members of the group into the area.
"Alright you two introduce yourselves." Sans said waiving the two in.

A small, petite girl dressed in flashy white, black, and pink clothes, quickly pushes past the taller girl beside her. She walks in, massive witch's hat covering her eyes. A crack resonates in the room as she slams her staff on the ground. She lifts her arms, and throws back her cape with a stylish flourish. She then slowly looks up to reveal her bright red eyes, and a confident smirk.
"There are legends of mighty heroes rising up from nothing, and becoming heroes....Tales are told of beasts, devouring thousands, and becoming horrors....Millions of stories told, and shared throughout the years and years. All these glorious stories are missing one thing...ME!" She grabs the tip of her hat, spins her staff, and upon slamming it once again, a burst of air blows her cape. "Listen up! I am a person to be remembered! I am a Knight to be revered! To those below me, look up to your hero, and praise me as shine in glorious light! To those above me, fear me as the beast that will devour, and snuff out your light! To those who don't know...hehehe...My name, is Jelenna Kirah, Master of Light, and Everything Pure!" Jelenna strikes one final pose, and awaits the praise and applause from the audience in presumed awe.

At the small girl's introduction, Ovelia's face dropped. What the hell? She looked the girl up and down then looked back to Sans waiting for the punch line to another of his stupid pranks. However, no reply seemed to come.
She tried not to laugh or roll her eyes. And it was very hard not to. She couldn't tell if she should laugh, cry, or just turn and walk out to the party.
Clearly they had the information on the duels and the extra people would show up then. For whatever reason Sans just wanted to make a joke. At the same time, knowing Sans she was more scared that it wasn't a joke. And if he was serious what was he thinking grabbing a 14 year old or whatever this child was?
Was this a game? She doubted he cared about honor or anything, but to throw the match to the Rainbow Dragons was still pathetic. Even if she didn't care about the Youngest Sage, the duel was a matter of honor and throwing it was disgusting.
Finally she spoke as she rubbed her temple, "I'm sorry...to clarify the mission we are attempting to win this right?" She asked glancing at the little girl. "This isn't some joke or attempt to toss it to make the Rainbow Dragons feel better?" She asked.

Mael listened to and watched Jelenna's lofty introduction, slowly becoming more and more tired looking as it went on. The strain of witnessing the spectacle was simply too much for him. It was like the girl was sapping his energy just with her presence. He understood what she was talking about to some extent. If he was right, then she was someone who came from a modest background who wished to become a hero. A noble wish that he couldn't fault the girl for. Then she went on a tirade about how she wanted to be the center of attention and how she shouldn't be underestimated, earning her some minus points, though Mael assumed that she was simply insecure. All in all, the girl was far too lively and was surely going to be the death of him through sheer exuberance.
With glazed eyes that looked like they had seen too much, he slowly turned to Niyol. "I want to die. Please kill me." There was no way he was going to survive having... this, on the team, even if it was just for the honour duels.

The girl Jelenna had pushed past was a sight taller than her, almost hitting six feet. The flowing curves and hard edges of her well-toned corded muscle could've been carved by an artist out of marble with how well they suited her body and posture. She didn't have many other curves to speak of, especially through the tough layers of leather armor that adorned her chest. Her arms were bare, hints of a fraying tunic peeking out beneath the armor at her shoulders. He wore tan pants, though cream colored riding leathers etched with subtle patterns lay atop them. Though nothing was particularly askew the messy bun she wore her hair in combined with worn in dirt on her outfit made gave her a slightly disheveled appearance. She had smiled brightly upon first entering, and opened her mouth to speak before being rudely shoved past by Jelenna and cut off. She didn't seem to perturbed by it, waiting for Jelenna to finish and the others to respond to her before stepping forward and trying again.
"Ain't she just the most enthusiastic thing you've ever seen? She's been like that all during training, don't mind it. I'm just happy t' be here at all with the knights, though I still ain't entirely sure how I ended up insultin' someone, though Sir Sans explained it to me.." She frowned and seemed to be going over a puzzle in her head again before suddenly remembering she hadn't yet introduced herself,"Oh shoot! My name's Hannah! Hannah Rust, it's a pleasure t' meet ya'll!" She had been carrying a medium sized lance with two tassles hanging off off it, but firmly planted it in the ground so that she could reach forward, offering a handshake and a pleased grin to the three slightly elder knights.
"I guess we're the youngest two knights so we gotta fight, sorry to say. Hopefully we won't do too bad though," Hannah said, giving a sheepish shrug to Ovelia and scratching her cheek. She was a little disheartened that they didn't seem to warmly welcoming of herself and Jelenna, but that just meant she would work twice as hard to prove them wrong!

"Welcome." Ovelia said simply taking the offered hand briefly. After all denying the handshake would be rude and this one at least seemed better.
The accent was strange to Ovelia who had grown up most her life in the city, but at the very least she had a spear and armor and didn't give a bad vibe. Even better she didn't seem idiotic.
After the two introduced themselves, Ovelia quickly added her own name while still waiting on Sans explanation for the child. If he was throwing the match that meant despite appearances that Hannah was possibly an idiot too. However, she still hadn't got confirmation of that.
"Ovelia Verene." She said simply. She didn't have much else to add if not asked. "I take it you can at least fight and aren't just playing games like our 'Master of Light'?" She asked the Master of Light title being used with a trace if sarcastic snark.
