The figure who just went through the barricade had his eyes widened. He was expecting something good from these two women that’s for sure.

The woman backed away as Adara moved towards her. She was hissing, cowering away from the fire.
"What's the matter?" Adara asked mockingly. "Scared of a little fire?" She pushed her palms together and then pulled them apart. A roaring fireball appeared, seeming to suck up all the light in the area.

While the two figures watched what was happening, a figure walked up behind them. They both turned around and knelt down immediately.
“Greetings Lord Cutler” they both exclaimed as the figure walked pass them, smiling as he saw what was happening outside the barricade. The exclaim the two figures made was loud enough for the people outside to hear.

"Yeup." Hinata gave a smile and started walking.

Jonathan felt safe around Hinata but he didn’t feel the motherly vibe that Adara had, though he didn’t complain. They made their way through the hall…
“Ahem…Young Jonathan…isn’t it your time to patrol right now…?” A voice called from behind.
Jonathan turned around, saw the figure and knelt down immediately.
“Greetings Lord Nicholas…and I’m afraid that you have misunderstood something, as my schedule starts again tomorrow…” Jonathan claimed as the figure gave him a warm smile.
“Oh…hello there, who are you supposed to be?” The new figure looked up at Hinata.

Tolkalee watched Adara fight the other woman. Really he was studying how they fought. In case he had to step in and stop it, or help Adara. He still couldn't help but feel something familiar about the other woman. And now he knew what it was. It sent shivers down his spine.

The new figure behind the barricade noticed Tolkalee. He walked out from the barricade and approached Tolkalee. He had royal clothing on and seemed more like an adult than all the Knights are.
“Hello there…are you the person who’s friends with a spirit named Seth perhaps?”

"Uh, I don't think he's a spirit anymore but yes, that I am," Tolkalee nodded turning to face the figure. He'd flipped up right now. "My name's Tolkalee."

The figure smiled.
“He’s a nice lad. Anyways, I am Ansel Cutler, one of the Seven Viscounts of the Labyrinth…” he introduced himself. He turned back to the two figures behind the barricade. “You two may stand up now” he said to them in a commanding voice more than a pleasant one.
“Thank you Lord Cutler…” The two figures stood up as they said that and looked at Adara and the woman again.

"I would have to agree," Tolkalee smiled. "He's the best person I've ever known, I wouldn't have made it this far without him." He couldn't help but feel proud of the fact that he'd known Seth for so long. He'd met Seth once when he was eleven, but they really became friends when he was fifteen. Seth had saved his life in a fight, and not even three minutes after that Tolkalee had saved his. After that they had started getting to know each other, and found that they had a lot more in common than just looking like twins.

The viscount laughed a little.
“He helped me out once, and that time was crucial to my duty as Viscount…so I do owe him one…” he smiled under his sigh.
“He’s back to the living world now right?”

"I hope so," Tolkalee said "We don't really have a way to contact each other from far distance. But it feels like he's okay so I'm going to guess that he's back there." He wouldn't say that he knew something was wrong back at home because, he didn't want to take the focus off the present situation.

The viscount glanced over at Tolkalee.
“Well… do you want to know?” He asked, his eyes both turned gold.

Panic flashed through Tolkalee. "No that's okay, thanks though," he said keeping his voice friendly. In truth he didn't want anyone knowing where Seth was. Likely he was with the other thirteen. And he didn't want anyone to know where they were for not only their protection, but also for everyone else's protection. "I'll know when I head back."

The viscount noticed Tolkalee’s reaction.
“Then that’ll be just fine…” his eyes turned back to their natural dark brown color. He leaned a little closer to Tolkalee.
“Any secrets you don’t want out, you tell me… as erasing memories and erasing thoughts are two of my most favorite things to do” he whispered.

Tolkalee sighed, he did feel like he could somewhat trust this person. "Thing is, if he is back, I know where he'll have gone. I assume you've heard that I'm the general of the Wild Warriors. There are fifteen Wild Warriors now. They are the most dangerous people on our planet, especially when they are together. And they have all gone into hiding. The way we have it set up is so that one person can find one person. Seth is the only one that can find me, Camie is the only one that can find him etc. We have a way to let everyone know to meet up though. He will have used that to let them know what is going on. We stay in hiding most of the time because we have all had a bad past and the possibility of hurting others is always there. Tat and our planet is connected to a bunch of other planets and there are some not so nice people that want all of us dead. That's why I don't want to know where he is at the moment, cause, I'm sorry but, I don't trust you people," Tolkalee explained keeping his voice low.

The viscount nodded and sighed.
“To be honest, we the Knights, the Viscounts, the Officers, the Marquesses, the Master or even the Prince… we aren’t really trustable” he said, keeping his voice low.
“Since I kinda like you, I’ll tell you one thing about this place you might or might not know about. You know the Knights and the Officers, of course you do I’m sure. Other than them there are seven Viscounts which include myself, three Marquesses, the Master and the Prince” he fidgeted with a pen. “People would think that the Master is the one with the most power. If we’re talking about fighting abilities, that statement would be true. But if we were to talk about power as in they can control the whole Labyrinth, the Prince would be the strongest… we all live under his orders and commands. If you’ve heard of the Paladins’ Missions, that is the concept he uses to choose who will become a Viscount or a Marquess in the next generation. Every ten years, one of the Viscounts and one of the Marquesses will be replaced by the strongest or the most loyal Knight and/or Officer” he explained, keeping his calm.

"I have a question," Tolkalee crossed his arms. "I am here because I missed Seth and was thinking about him, then a portal opened up in front of me. Why?"

The viscount thought about it for a minute.
“If you just missed him then it should be because one of three reasons. Reason one might be that your powers are capable of being a Knight… during your travel maybe a space was left and someone was needed to fill the space. Reason two might be that Seth’s time limit is close so you’re able to take him back to the living or… Reason three, it might just have been an error. I’ll admit, the Soul Labyrinth is not perfect and somethings that happen here don’t really have a reason to happen” he explained.

"But how did it know I was thinking about him?" he asked.

“The Prince of the Labyrinth can create portals to people who think of someone who’s in the Labyrinth. In your case, a signal would be sent to Seth if someone’s thinking of him and a portal will open for you. It’s a little complicated, I know but that’s just how it is” the viscount turned to the two figures behind the barricade the back at Tolkalee.
“Another thing. It is prohibited to talk about the Prince outside of the Labyrinth. Mind you that the Prince has as much power as Heaven or Hell, so yes… punishment will be served if he is talked about somewhere else. That’s why most people just talk about the Master and not the Prince” he explained and warned Tolkalee.

"So he was prying into my mind. There is a reason I don't like people in my mind, and people that just do without my permission piss me off," Tolkalee rolled his eye.

The viscount shook his head.
“He didn’t go into yours, he went into Seth’s connection of people or so, his mind” the viscount explained.

The viscount turned to the two women.
“You girls, please play nice to each other. Both the Master and the Prince are still asleep and I’m sure that you don’t want to wake them up…” he warned more than threatened them.

"Seth likes it even less than I do," Tolkalee commented. "Did this Prince dude have permission or did he just randomly decide to poke around in my best friend's mind?"

Adara stopped. She had pinned the woman to the floor, and had her burning hands at her throat. She stood, and kicked the woman before walking over to the elf.

“Well…” the viscount turned back to Tolkalee. “I’ll just say that everyone in the Labyrinth is under his control, so yeah, some privacy issues can be made but Seth didn’t really mind I guess. He didn’t look like he minded at least…” he explained.

He wanted me down here, Tolkalee began putting the pieces together, Seth had wanted Tolkalee down here for a reason. What that reason was, was still unclear. He glanced at Adara who had walked over straight to him. "Uh, hi. Need something?"

The viscount turned to Adara.
“Greetings there fire mage, may I have your name perhaps?”

"Adara," she said with a small smirk. "And come on, fire mage? It can't be that obvious."
