"I thought we made a deal," Festus said, grabbing his staff.
"We did and I am not trying to break it," Roy said slowly, placing his hands on the prison bars.
"Excuse me but that's clearly what taking his staff means," Carl said.
"He's right," Festus said.
"I know but someone came to me the night your friend ran away," Roy said.
"Someone?" Festus said with a confused expression on his face.
"Yeah, a female in a dark hood she's definitely a witch because I know them when I see them," Roy said.
The look on Festus' face had turned to a horrid one as he knew what Roy was about to say.
"Dark hood," Carl muttered.
"She said she would help me get my daughter back another thing that helped me confirm she was a witch but she said she would do it under one condition."
"What condition?" Carl asked.
Festus didn't need to ask as he already knew what the answer would be.
"She said she needs that staff," Roy said, pointing at the light wizard's staff.
"Did you ask her why she needed the staff?" Festus asked.
"I did but she said that wasn't part of our deal and that I didn't have any right to know," Roy said.
"Roy you know what will happen if this staff falls into the wrong hands, nobody will be safe!" Festus said getting up on his feet.
"I know and that is why I left you with it in the first place under the deal we made," Roy said. "But you should know that nothing is more important to me than my girls."
"So now you're just going to take my staff and give it to her," Festus said.
"No, I am going to give you and your friend here time," Roy said looking at Carl who was sitting on the floor.
"Huh?"
"Convince him to tell me where his friend is so that I can find those elves and save my little girl or you hand over the staff, you have a day to make your choice," Roy said, already turning to leave.
"Roy if you take this staff and hand it over to her and chaos gets unleashed on us again that also means you lose in a worse way, everybody does," Festus said.

"Are you forgetting that I gave you an easier option that won't take you two seconds to do?" Roy said before walking out of the area.

The atmosphere was a bit noisy as Luis walked in with Tania as a lot of students were entering the stadium and while most of them were sitting there were still a few who were moving up and down.
"Let's go find a seat before they all get filled up," Tania said, pulling Luis along with her.
"Yeah but I think there's actually enough seats for everybody," Luis said.
"You don't know that," Tania said as she stopped beside one of the rows of seats in the middle.
'That's what you think.' Luis thought as he sat on the seat closest to them and shifted to the next one to create space for her.
"So how have you been coping in this world where almost everyone has special abilities?" Tania asked looking around. "And to be specific I meant how have you been coping with bullies at your academy?"
"I've been coping pretty well, if not I wouldn't be here now, what about you?"
"Well, the girls in my class don't pick on me because of Chloe," Tania said.
"Well, then it's a good thing you have a friend as fierce as her," Luis said.
"But there is someone who hates me for no reason and takes advantage of any chance she gets to bully me," Tania said.
"I have a lot of people who hate me and I guess they have their reasons for me thinking of me the way they do," Luis said.
"Her brother is one of the nicest persons I've ever met but I don't know how she's worse than the opposite of him," Tania said.
"Is she a first-year student?" Luis asked.
"Yeah," Tania said.
"And what abilities does she have?"
"None," Tania said.
"None, I don't see how she can be a problem," Luis said.

"Well, she is," Tania said.
"Well then get Chloe to make it go away, the problem," Luis said, turning to her with a smile.
Tania didn't say anything as she smiled at him and shook her head.
"What?" Luis asked.
"Nothing, it's just that I can't believe that I'm finally having a fun conversation with you." She said.
"I thought we were talking about bullies and getting bullied, I don't see how that's fun," Luis said.
"Yeah but we're smiling and that makes it fun." She said.
"All the students outside please make your way to into the stadium and get seated, you have two minutes to do that." A male voice resounded in the stadium through the loudspeakers.
It didn't take long before the seats began to get filled up including the one Luis and Tania were sitting on and that meant they had to stop their conversation.
Luis was trying to find Ace through the rush but he wasn't able to until the spots had all gotten occupied by students he didn't even know but he did receive a wave from him later on and Chloe had waved to them too as she was sitting beside him.
After all the students from the four academies were all settled down, a sergeant walked out to the center of the pitch with a microphone in his hands.
The students at the far back couldn't see him but that wasn't a problem as the large screens put all around the stadium were showing him.
"Students of Phoenix, Eukerion, Tron Ville, and Crockel academy, you are all welcome to this year's annual intercontinental inter-academy tournament." The sergeant said as his voice resounded in the stadium.
"Before I begin I will like to introduce myself as sergeant Arnold. As we all know the tournament will not begin until Monday but before that everyone should be informed about all the processes.
"That's the reason why you all have been called here and I am here to take you through the procedures and schedules of this year's tournament which will definitely go down as the best in history."
One of the screens had changed to a video of the detailed format of the procedures and schedules concerned with the tournament.
"Okay, that's a lot of things to do." Ace said, watching the whole thing scroll down.
