Hinata smiled softly, internally facepalming.
This is so sweet.
(Nice one Altrince)

Adara tilted her head. “What’s Thailand?”

“Floor 15… the limit is 30 if you’re curious, I’m sure someone’s up there or somewhere down as well” the figure answered, their body as solid as a rock.

The lightning figure turned to Hinata and bowed apologetically.
“I’m sorry if I scared you there, I only wanted to surprise him as he doesn’t hear way too loud or soft noises” the figure said, still bowing.
“I’m a Paladin here in the Labyrinth. I go by the name of The Storm Caller and I was summoned by the Knights Neil, Absoul and Des—” the figure didn’t finish him sentence, Evan jumped up and pulled him down, hugging him tightly. “—mond”

(I like to make people fall in a false sense of danger more than a false sense of security >:3)

The Lost Wanderer looked at Adara, doubtfully.
“It’s a country in one of Earth’s continent… Asia, I think it was called. They’re famous for spices and their myths and legends since there are literally thousands. One of the Knights was from there…” he tried to remember but can’t.

“I wouldn’t know,” she said with a shrug. “I’m from… well, not Earth.”

The Lost Wanderer raised a brow.
“Well… I could take you there now if you’d like”

She shrugged. “I dunno. I had my fill of Earth.” She scowled slightly.

“Well, if we can find that Knight who came from there, he can be our guide. Maybe that’s better” the Lost Wanderer laughed a little.

(Just saying, one of these days Hinata's gonna accidentally hurt someone she shouldn't…)
Hinata smiled.
"I see."

Sebastian had to smile at how Evan reacted to the ‘surprise’.
“Christmas’ coming up in a week right?” Sebastian asked the lightning figure.
“Five days boy, how broken is your calendar?” He answered with a laugh.

"Oh, it's nearly Christmas here?" Back home, it was mid-August.

The Storm Caller looked up.
“Our time isn’t really following the other systems, day and night here aren’t the same either as you might’ve noticed from your time here” he explained.

"Oh, I completely understand. Many dimensions have varying time, which is something I have to deal with all the time."

“Be kind enough to celebrate Christmas here with us why won’t you?” Sebastian asked Hinata while walking up to her with Gavin’s body on his back.

"I would be honored." Hinata smiled, giving a small bow.

Sebastian smiled.
“Thank you, I’m sure The Prince would enjoy talking to someone like you” he stated with a bow.
“Wait, The Prince is going to come to the festival this time?” The Storm Caller looked up to ask.
“From what I’ve heard, he’s going to be with us for the evening buffet” Sebastian answered.

"The Prince? I would enjoy talking to them." Hinata didn't know who this was, and she was sure it would be smart to find out later.

“I’m pretty sure The Master will also be there” Sebastian added to what he said. “It’s a shame though that generations 4 to 10 aren’t available” he sighed but laughed afterwards.

Hinata put her hands in her pocket.
"Yes, I think I would very much enjoy this. But tell me, why are they not available?"

Sebastian shrugged but the Storm Caller smiled faintly.
“Some of them went back to the living world or as we would call as the rebirthing process. Some of them ended up as trapped spirits or cursed forever from the other realms. Some were sent to Heaven or Hell. Some became actual deities that people respect and believe in and many other reasons…” he explained. “As for the first three generations, they decided to stay here. Technically all of them can go back to the living world, but they decided not to. Some died and some were gone though… an example being first generation’s Philip who died protecting The Prince in the Trinity War back in the days. More on that story if you’re interested”

"Please, indulge me." Hinata was filing this all away in her mind.

“If you’ve seen documents or heard from some of the Knights, you would know that The Soul Labyrinth was created by an agreement made by Heaven and Hell. Due to both places’ overpopulation, this place became the place that they would send wandering spirits. It has been approximately five centuries since this place was built, back then only The Prince, The Master and The Paladins, which included myself, were the locals of this place. Time passed and the agreement started to fade, as the Labyrinth wanted independence. The Prince tried to negotiate with both sides to no avail. By that time was the second generation of Knights time and the first generation of Knights became loyal fighters of The Prince. Setting out a plan to show both Heaven and Hell that we were fine on our own, The Prince lead the first generation of Knights and The Paladins to attack both places, not to kill the locals, but to prove our worth. That fight would then be named The Trinity War, total count of casualties was only fifteen, ten of them being ours. Philip, Zen and Noah were the three Knights who died during the fight, the rest were former Paladins” he added as Hinata wanted.

Loki dodges the swing and sliced open the knight's side then pulled out his heart hoping to kill him

The unarmored scorpion Knight’s body faded when his heart was ripped. His heart disintegrated soon after.

The young figure who was behind the Knight sighed.
“Sorry, I should’ve been quicker than that”

Tolkalee sighed. He turned to Jameson. "Didn't you say that you thought Hinata was on floor 9?"

"What do you mean i didn't even break a sweat" Loki laughed and looked at the young figure "quién eres tú?"

“I said that, but I didn’t say we were on that floor. Did I?” Jameson shrugged to Tolkalee.

“Ernest Wallace, host of Armor Breaker and the next generation’s Knight H” the young figure introduced himself.

"I know what floor we're on, he just said that we're on floor 15. I was confirming which floor you said the others were on," Tolkalee rolled his eye. "Which means we need to go down 6 floors."

Jameson sighed. “Problem with communication…” he cursed to himself. “We have two options, down the stairs or the panel” he pointed to them in order. “The panel is basically just a magic elevator”
