Hinata looked up. As this was going on, the white energy of Evan's present returned. Words were written across it.
Open if help is needed

Evan read the notes.
“O-kay…?” He kept the ball of energy with him and looked at the two new figures.

"That was slightly terrifying, but okay."

The Lost Wanderer sensed something.
“Are you done looking at the map…?” He asked Adara, looking into the hallways.

Tolkalee watched Seth disappear. "Sometimes he tells me what he's doing. Other times…" he shook his head

The two figures scanned the room and the people in it.
“Ah, young lad Evan, Happy Birthday” one of the figures said with a smile.
“How old are you now, 23?” The other figure asked.
“He’s 24 now sir, please get your dates correct” Sebastian answered instead.
“Ah… right…” the figure sighed.

Hinata listened, silently eating. Tatsuo returned to sitting beside her.

Aisen nodded.
“Totally understandable…” he sighed as well. As that was happening, another figure walked into the Arena and the temperature rose by quite a bit.

The two figures didn’t notice Hinata at first but when they did…
“Are you perhaps the Balance Keeper?” One of the figures asked while the other was scanning her.

Hinata set her spoon down.
"Yes, I am." She looked up at the figures.

A moment later Seth could be seen in the air clearing the mist and landing on the ceiling.

“Ah, such a pleasure to meet you in person. We—“
“We’re two of the former Knights who’ve been invited to join the Christmas party. We’re the representatives of the fifth generation. I’m Tristan Ortega, host of Spiritual Literature” one of the figure cut off what the other was trying to say and introduced himself.

The other figure sighed.
“And I’m Elliot Haines, host of Magnification” they both bowed and stood up straight soon after.

Hinata stood and bowed in return.
"A pleasure to meet you both."

“Nice…” when the mist cleared, Rainer’s kneeling body was then visible but the crystals still kept coming. His eyes were wide, head was stressed, his arms were showing veins. He was trying his best to not get control by what’s ever trying to.

Elliot looked to Tatsuo and Katsuo.
“We know that you’re the Balance Keeper but who are they…?” He asked, curious of why they’re sitting beside Hinata.

"They're my Companion Souls, and my closest allies." Hinata smiled at them.

The two figures nodded.
“Seems fair enough” Tristan said to his friend.

“What are you all doing here anyways?” Elliot asked, looking around at the everyone.

Hinata had another spoonful of soup.

The Clockwork Crow sipped his coffee while still wearing his mask… somehow.
Sebastian was playing with Gavin and Evan and they were all having a great time it seems.

“Okay… no one’s gonna answer me…” Elliot sighed while Tristan lost his sanity laughing.

Hinata swallowed.
"I personally am here because honestly, I'm tired of not being able to find anyone. If they need me, they can find me."

“A reasonable reason indeed” Elliot commented.

"And I'm lazy. This is also a large reason."
Katsuo snorted.

Tolkalee looked at Seth on the ceiling. What the hell are you doing… oh no, he moved slightly positioning himself in an odd spot. He pulled out his dagger and held it in front of himself.

“Again, a good reason” Elliot commented once again, this time with a slight laugh.

When the new figure saw Rainer’s Corrupted form, he grinned. He started to warm up the Arena that Rainer was trying to freeze without making himself seen.

Aisen did not hesitate to rush towards Rainer while maintaining his Black Duality Zone around him. He got a cut on Rainer’s chest and made him bleed a little. Aisen then landed beside Tolkalee.

Seth drove his sword into the ceiling and hung by his foot from the strap on the hilt. He then pulled his bow out and aimed at Tolkalee. Tolkalee moved his dagger slowly as Seth took aim. When Seth fired Tolkalee stepped forward and the arrow pinged off his dagger flying straight towards Rainer's back.

Rainer didn’t react to the arrow, his body just kept sending out green crystals. Well… at first it seemed like that, but after sometime his body floated up and crystals started to cover his body. His body was then armored with a light blue crystal armor and a crystal spear formed in his hand. He took a small step whilst mid-air, landing himself softly on the floor. He raised the spear upwards and sent out a cloud of much denser mist and at a much lower temperature. He was then invisible in the mist.

Seth pulled himself upright, and looked around trying to find Rainer. He couldn't see anything. Tolkalee was also looking for him. He pulled back at a safe distance.

As time went on, the mist gone denser and the temperature continued to drop. Aisen struggled to move around due to frostbite. Aisen called out to Seth and Tolkalee, trying to locate where they were without alerting Rainer who covered himself in crystals.

Seth pulled down from the ceiling, and moved around the arena, he was slowly freezing to death, and he was also still dizzy from blood loss. Tolkalee moved around the arena and came to the stairs.

The new figure in the Arena finally made himself present. He stepped on the ground with such force that the floor cracked, some magma shot up from the cracks and warmed up the atmosphere. The mist slowly cleared a little and Rainer was then visible. The new figure had fire burning parts of his hair, his chest and his face to where his… inhuman skull was visible.
“Bring it you fridge freak…” he challenged Rainer while summoning his flaming scythe, grinning as he did.
