Blaze stood at the base of the valley and looked up in awe. The rocky range was huge in proportion to him, which was not that surprising. The strange formation of it plus the writing on the walls made it even more mysterious. He slowly walked down the cryptic gorge. Each step made a slight, yet notable, echo across the valley. The eerie silence made the Elemental feel uneasy and confused. He knew why he was here and he could not shake the feeling that this silence was foreshadowing a terrible end.

“Why did I have to agree to this?” he asked himself. “I could be taking a nap right now or having some fun with Lily and Frost.” The lazy man sighed and lowed his head. His hand reached around towards his back pocket. The edge of a paper peeked out of the pocket. Blaze pulled the paper out, unfolded it and read it in his mind.

Blaze, this is your teammate for the upcoming tournament. My name is Shron. Please get some rest, eat up, and meet me at Larentian Valley at exactly 8:00 am tomorrow. Bring any weapons and be at your best. In case you don’t know it’s me, I will be wearing a gray coat and black pants.

“Larentian… that’s what this place is called.” He placed the paper back in his back pocket and looked up at the sun. “According to the planet’s sun, it should be around eight o’clock.” He cracked his knuckles as he scoped the area. There, entering from the other side of the gorge was a man wearing a gray cot with black pants. He quickly pulled out the paper and read it. After a pause, the Elemental chuckled. “Great. A human. Instead of fighting one, I’m paired up with one. That’s a first.” Blaze walked towards the man until the two were facing each other five meters apart.

“Hello. You must be Blaze.”
