Jotie was communicating the earth by turning the runestones that sat upon the pedistal. It was for controlling what was next. The next tournament that is being held are the race tournament. He turned the knob looking rock and it clicked. All of a sudden, great rumbling was heared and the stadium started to grow bigger and wider. What used to be in the stadium was pool of lava and now was replaced by what it looks like a dangerous obsticle course. The course was put in the following order: A rope to swing over a pit of fire. A ring that is electrified that you have to jump through, a lake full of electric eels that you have to cross, around the turn is spikes on the ground you had to jump over or dodge, a bottomless pit that you had to jump platform, to platform to make it to the other side, a timing of jumping through a burning ring with razor blades that swings through inside of it every two seconds, and at the end of the turn is swimming with six sharks.
Krystal was one of the contestance who loved to travel and she was one with nature. She had the knowladge and knew she was going to win this one. She also thought this was for fun, so she was ready to go ahead and win this.

Yzsable stood beside Lilis as they watched the arena change. Lilis wanted to see the mechanism that made the arena change. Maybe she could get a look at it later. Yzsable gave a bored yawn. He didn't really want to participate in any of the events. It was more like Lilis' perpetual search for fun. He didn't have anything to do at the moment and so needed something to amuse himself with.

Jotie looked over and saw Lilis. He crooked a smile and looked back at the mechinism as he wondered what to say to her.
"Hmm... Do you want to join the race? You could try to beat Krystal," Jotie said with a confident smile. "What do you think?"

Lilis quirked an eyebrow at Jotie and Yzsable smirked. "I'm not competing. Yzsable was going too. I'm more interested in how the arena changed."
"The race'll be fun, I'm not doing it to win." Yzsable said, sounding more than a tad snobbish.
Lilis cracked the back of Yzsable's head. He directed a blazing red glare at her. Lilis met it steadily until he looked away.
"I suppose I could give her a run for her money!" Yzsable snapped but refused to look at either Lilis or Jotie.

Jotie first responded to Lilis. "Well, this machine is quite complicated. It was made by millions of blacksmith to design the equipment, then we use magic to design the land to make an illusion. The illusion makes it seem so real that it defies laws of physics itself, making it seem so real. For example, I created lava from magic. The magic will burn you, but it will dissapear in a matter of days. The burn will stay on you like it was real." He tried to explain it as best he could. "Well... Actually I don't know how it all works out. All I know it's made from advanced magic and experties of blacksmithing.
"Now, you are going to race my sister?" Jotie then spoke to the newer person. "It isn't going to be easy. You know, people are going to bet on my sister to win. There is no rules in this race, so you can do anything you want in here in attempt to win. But of course, if you are not hear to win, what are you in here for?"

Lilis and Yzsable shared a look. The shade began to grin. Lilis looked back at Jotie, her violet eyes flashing.
"Lilis is often on a perpetual search for fun. So, now, she's infected me and I'm just looking for fun. I don't care if they bet on your sister. I'm not here to win and should these games be about fun?" Yzsable smirked and shrugged off-handedly. "I suppose I could make it interesting for her though. Make it a little fairer maybe. Yea, but Lilis only chose to be Zuki's bodyguard because she was hoping that maybe she could throttle someone every now and then. I think Lilis should enter a fight."
Lilis whirled to face Yzsable. He flinched. It was never good when Lilis got upset.
"And waste my energy when I should be keeping an eye out for assassins!? I wouldn't be doing my job!" She snapped angrily at Yzsable and he began to step away from her.
"Well, your crew could look after him. More pairs of eyes to look after your youngling." Yzsable responded lamely.
Lilis glared at Yzsable for a long and then turned away from him. "They could miss something or not end the situation quickly enough." She muttered, her own excuse not to let anyone else do her job anymore. "They keep my back and I keep Zuki's and his family's back."

Jotie chuckled. "So, your his bodyguard. Well, you can enter in a fighting competition pretty soon. There's some where you are allowed to kill your opponent, but they get to kill you as well. It's fun to watch, and even more fun to be in it. I'll be entering the battle royal, second tournament with teams. Care to join? It allows death, just to warn you." He told her.
Krystal shouted. "Does anyone want to race me!?" She called out in the runway. "I would like a 'friendly' competition with someone!"
Jotie looked at Yzsable and said, "Hey, why won't you race my sister? She'd love to race someone who wants to have fun."

Yzsable sighed and stripped off his shirt. He threw it at Lilis, who caught it without having to look. Red lines ran over Yzsable's arms and torso. The lines formed the shape of runes and some forgotten spells. The shade flashed a winning smile before trotting over to stand near Krystal.
"Horse's arse." Lilis grumbled as she watched him. "I don't know if I will enter a competition of any sort. But if you're looking for a good team member, you should ask Teague. He's good in a fight and he'll watch your back. I'll call him for you if you want to meet him. He's off right now and is probably sleeping somewhere."

Jotie smiled as he thought about it. "We'll see. He has to come to me if he wants to join me. I won't be moving from this spot for a long while. The competitions last for over a month, so it doesn't matter. I'll be here for a while."
Krystal smiled cheerfully and waved. "Hey!" She stretched her body and walked up to the chalked line, where they start. She looked over and said. "You ready, oh colorful one?" She teased when she saw the markings on him. She stood in a sprinting position where she got herself ready.
Jotie stood up and pressed his finger on the side of his neck. He muttered a magic spell and coughed, which sounded like a microphone being tapped. "Greetings to everyone! And welcome to this wonderful day! Today, we have a wonderful race against the lovely lady, Krystal Tamaro. And a courageous racer, Yzsable!"
There was a loud roar of exitment and everyone is getting hyped up about the race. Several other people leaned against the railing to get ready to see what was going on down there.

Yzsable chuckled and walked up the line. He stooped into a sprinter's crouch. "Red's my color girlie, don't insult it." He said seriously but his eyes were dancing with subdued laughter. "But you can call me Yzie and I'm not that colorful."
Lilis rolled her head back and around. The bones in her neck cracked loudly. Mortals were very annoying to Lilis and that was mostly because they didn't understand. She grumbled something, her eyes flashing violet as she shot a look at Yzsable. He looked at her and grinned. The race was going to get interesting.
"Good luck Krystal." Yzsable said in a charitable manner and went a little lower in his crouch.

Jotie pressed down on the pedistal and a dome-like appearance went around. "Ready, set, go!" Jotie barked out and the race began.
Krystal's eyes went sharp and pounced at Yzie and jumped away quickly and took off, laughing. "Meet you at the finish line!" She called at him.

Yzsable smirked and followed behind Krystal easily. "I won't have to if I can keep up with you." The red shade told her as he came up beside her. "I don't plan on doing this race for winning though. I just looking for something fun to do."
Lilis shifted her stance. "What comes after the race? What event I mean?"

Krystal looked back and laughed. "For fun, is it? Well, I'll make it fun for you alright!" She then made it to the first obsticle. She had a plan at this part. She grabbed her rope and ran sideways then she waited for him to snatch his to swing across the fire.
Jotie smiled. "Well, it's going to be a two on two combat next, then an archery competition, finally a magic combat. They have a choice to kill one another, so I don't know who's going to die and who's going to live. It's quite entertaining if you know what I mean. Cruel, I know. It's my father's rules. I have to keep up with them."

Lilis didn't respond. She was watching Yzsable. The red shade was more of a jester than most other shades were. That was probably why she and Yzie got on so well. Then again, it may have been the fact that they had been assigned a mission together and their skills matched almost perfectly.
"I might enter a combat... but I don't know." She said and another vampire trotted up to her. "Hey Teague."
"Hey Lilis." The other vampire said and stood beside her and away from Jotie. "Yzie in the race?"
"Yea." "Pulled any stunts yet?" "No."
Teague nodded and then looked over at Jotie. "Were you looking for someone to join your team?"
Yzsable grinned when he saw his rope. He grabbed his and ran with it until he reached the edge of the lava. Yzie pulled himself up onto the rope and turned upside-down. One of his legs was twined around the rope and the other one was folded up. His right arm was twined about the rope and he held tightly to the coarse fibers.
"Good, because after this... Lilis may never let me have fun again." Yzsable said in reply to Krystal.

Krystal smiled and swung on her rope right torwards him. She then jumped and let go of her rope and landed on his face, grabbing hold of his rope. She smiled happily as she swung across.
Jotie nodded when someone new came. "Yes, I am looking for a partner. It will be a death combat, but only two would survive. It's a two on-two-on-two-battle. So, you think you would be up to it?"

Teague grinned viciously. "Death? I'm in!"
Lilis grumbled and shifted unhappily. Her eyes turned violet as she watched Krystal's stunt. Lilis' skin suddenly felt cold. She thought about going hunting, but that was best reserved for night.
Yzsable swore loudly when Krystal landed on him. The glow of the lava reflected in his eyes.
"Are you stupid!? Are you trying to not only destroy me, but kill yourself?" He hissed at her angrily.

Krystal laughed and wooed as they made it across. She jumped off and swung backwards, using her hand and grabbed hold of him to take him across, so he wouldn't get himself killed. She realised how tangled he was in, so she crained her head and muttered a spell and a gush of wind sliced through the air and cut the rope. She then landed on the solid ground and dropped him down and continued to run. "I saved your life. Your turn!" She said happily as she ran ahead.
Jotie chuckled and nodded. "Alright. Glad to have you to be on my team." He looked forward and laughed. "Look at my sister. She's not taking things seriously, no matter how bad the situation is."

Yzsable looked over at Lilis. His eyes were flashing. He stood still where he was before following Krystal. He was tempted to walk, but he couldn't. A rune was burning Yzsable's skin. He was had to follow Krystal, but not because she had saved his life (he could have done that himself).
"Good! When do I need to be here?" Teague asked Jotie and not paying attention to the race.
"That is no surprise." Lilis muttered ungraciously, following their movements with her eyes.

Jotie smiled. "At the moon's rising. It's a night fight. A more dangerous battle. I heard one team is vampire while the other team is rumored to be Brutes. Those brutes are quite dangerous, But... They are very simple-minded and don't think while acting."
Krystal saw the four rings she had to jump through. She had to be cautious and jump through them, or else she could be paralyzed, or worse... could be killed. She jumped and tucked her legs in and landed past one of them. She had to jump higher for the second one.

Teague gave a vicious grin, his eyes flashing bright green. "I wouldn't worry about that. I've been with Lilis and few others of her crew for a few years and picked up some pretty interesting fighting styles. The only team you should worry about beating is the vampire team, the others should be pretty easy."
Yzsable ran towards th electric hoops and jumped through the first one easily. He looked over at Krystal, he was still pretty upset with her.
"Would you like me to go first? Or wait behind you? Although it shouldn't matter where I stand should you injure yourself." He said coldly to her. "I will catch you and that is all."

Krystal looked over and smiled weakly. "Well, it's up to you. I just need a little boost up, that's all. Are you still angry with me?" She asked worriedly. "I didn't mean to anger you by my stunts."
Jotie chuckled. "Yes, I know. They are elite warriors that come from Vlad's army that wanted to avoid the war. Now we are against them and they say that they have trainned over one hundred years. But I wouldn't take it too lightly with the Brutes. They are strong and are resistant to alot of magic and physically resistant. However, they are not mentally resistant, so they can be effected by confusion and stuff like that. I'll take care of them. You go ahead and take care of them. You go ahead without me against the vampires.

"But they'll be the most fun! Oh come on!" Teague said with slight despair (what an actor). "I promise, Jotie, that I'll protect you." He said sweetly looking very innocent.
Yzsable just shook his head. He linked his hands together and looked pointedly at her. "Come on, I'll give you a boost... I'll be right behind you."

Jotie thought for a moment. "Well... Oh alright. The brutes might be in the way though." He then shrugged. "Aah, oh well. We'll fight the vampires first then," he told him with a smile.
Krystal smiled and nodded. She ran over and jumped onto his hands and got ready to jump as he would push her up. "Thanks!" She said happily.

Teague grinned. "Great! I can't wait."
Yzsable thought that Krystal was a little light, but that made it easier to toss her. He let out his breath and threw his arms up to toss her into the air.

Krystal did a front flip when she was tossed so high. She was suprised on his strength and went through the hoop. She turned around and tilted her head with some curiousity and a little confusion. She called out to him, "Say, why are you helping me anyways?" She asked as she jumped through another ring that was just wide. She could jump long distances, but not high.
