Walking around, Ziaram noticed that there was a lot of people around the town this time. What is this for? A party? Or something very important? "This is nothing like what happened in Impersus." Recalling getting sent here, from some strange portal.

Oujay turned around and walked away from the food court as he had a small drink in his hand. As he was walking away, he looked around the festival as he didn't know what he should do. "Maybe I should do that," he would say, until he looked at another booth, "Or maybe that," he would say after. He couldn't choose his mind. He would just be whispering to himself, talking his way out of doing something to do something else.
Oujay closed his eyes and sighed as he dropped his head down. He had no idea what to do. He opened back up his eyes, lifted up his head, and moved his hand up to his mouth, the one with the cup, and took a drink out of it. He kept on walking as he was drinking, hoping he wouldn't run into anything or anyone. Suddenly, something caught his attention in the corner of his eye. "Hey what's this?" he thought as he stopped drinking. He turned as he moved the cup away from his mouth.
"An Arena," he said to himself as he recognized it. "Interesting," he thought as he thought about entering himself, just for a bit of fun. He moved his hand back to his mouth, with the cup, and finished the drink before he started walking towards the Arena. Oujay tossed his finished cup into the trash bin as he walked by one, that was next to one of the benches around the festival.
After a few minutes, Oujay reached the arena and walked in. He looked and there was already a battle going on, so he went to the audience section. He walked up some stairs and was greeted with the open air once again as there were people cheering for the battle. Oujay turned to see who was fighting. The archer, he had seen somewhere before, but the other fighter was unknown to him. He walked farther in and leaned against the wall. He didn't feel like taking a seat. "Let's see how this battle will turn out," he said to himself as the battle started.

Ganon tossed the stick away, still laughing and chatting with Hatmon, then looked down at the throng below. "It's about five hundred years old," he said with a grin, "Time for me to do my thing." The reptile winked (blinked?) and sat up, stretching and reaching for his shirt. he pulled it on and wrapped his colorful scarf around his stomach, then arched his back and grabbed the edge of the roof with both hands. Smoothly, he slithered down and around the edge and dropped onto both talons on the stage. It creaked and protested, but settled down after a second.
Ganon smiled as he moved to his instruments, plucking a few notes on his guitar. He tuned it, then did the same for his mandolin before putting both instruments aside. He slid his tail out and pulled a pair of drums toward himself, and he knelt behind them, cracking his knuckles.
His hands moved as smoothly as quicksilver, and each strike of his palm or fingers resulted in an echoing, almost twangy gong. He had a bit of fun with it, modulating the rhythm and tempo, then settled into a steady beat as his audience approached. "Welcome!" he called. "Come on, settle down, move in toward the middle to give people on the outside room." He wagged his tail and slowly pushed his drums aside once he'd captivated his audience.
"For those of you who don't know me, I'm Ganon Firenight." The large reptile brushed one of the long quills of red hair out of his face as his tail picked up his guitar. "And I'd like to tell you a story from centuries long gone." He brought the stringed instrument around into his hands, then strummed a chord and picked out a few notes.
"Five hundred years past," he said, "A mighty Warrior came out of Mordache. He claimed that he had been called by gods to vanquish a mighty Dark God and restore order to the world. With a great and cursed axe, he cut swathes through the ranks of his foes, seeking out like-minded heroes to aid him. His name..." The tune began to pick up as he went off into a series of variations on the melody he had been playing, and then he leaned forward, playing more and more quietly, watching his audience unconsciously shift forward in their seats to listen as he finished:
"Was Kyros."
The tune picked up again as he gave them a moment, playing through a short bridge as he prepared to tell the next part of the story.

Nils tossed his stick away as well, having no reason to keep a hold on it. The bard nodded. "Sounds good to me! I think it was... this way." He vaguely pointed in some direction. A few moments later, he laughed sheepishly. "Uhm... I actually have no clue where it is..." He looked to FD nervously, quickly grabbing his hand and walking off in the direction where he hoped it was.
And, well, he was right. The booth with the dart game came into view. Nils sighed with relief. Found it without embarrassing myself in the process… always a good thing.
"Step right up!" The man called out to the pair, a grin on his face. "Test your luck in a game of darts!" He passed his hand over a row of darts, five in total, just waiting for someone to pick them up and toss them at the target. "What do you say...?"
Nils dug his hand into his pocket, looking for some coins. ... ... Ah ha! With a small smile, he pulled out two shiny gold coins. The bard turned to his companion, showing him the coins. "Do you want to try, Hikaru? I’ll pay this time."

((.......AWWWWW ;-; making that picture canon I see XD!! ))
Ephraim couldn't help but give a loud chuckle as he pulled his cloak up to his reach. "Why hello there" he greeted, very amused by the fact that Amara had latched herself onto his cloak..and wasn't falling for that matter. "Having fun?" the answer was obvious but it was amusing to know what the little girl would say in all of her excitement to the festival in the first place.
After a few minutes, Ephraim remembered that he had a stuffed animal he won earlier and raised an eye brow while looking at the little girl all at the same time. "You know, if you stay latched then I can't give you a little something~" he teased, moving his right arm that held the bear to the back of his cloak, almost hidden to Amara's eyes.

Aran went on to his third piece of ham on a stick, but also making sure he didn't eat too much. There was still plenty of other food stands and he couldn't let his weight get out of control. He gave the stand man a very good tip, and was on his way to maybe go watch some of the fights.
Aran just got to see Arashe fire an arrow at a man who looked to be like.. Hey isn't that Leon? Aran knew Leon, heck most people in The Watch did anyways. Leon was a very tough guy and he'd seen him hanging around Steely Dan and his group. He cheered for both of the warriors waging their money, he might even just join one himself.

Luna got done eating her piece of fish. She walked away into the festival. Now what? She question to herself. She looked around to spy an arena. Well, I could use the experience but.... She thought about it long and hard about.

((Dang, I hope this doesn't take too long.))
Ed wasn't really sure what to expect from the waitress Mary, but nevertheless gave her the order for classic mutton and perry. Her eyes regarded the siblings witha sort of fascinated anxiety as the waitress started to move away.
Ed glanced around the restaurant as soon as her personal bubble was clear. Her sword was comfortable enough on her back, so she didn't bother with switching where it was.
"So how've you been holding up, Lady Isadora?" she inquired, leaning on the table.

"Sure, Kaoru. I'd love too, thanks." FD received the five darts and observed the bull's eye targets for the game. Maybe I can win Kaoru a prize if I do well. Yes, win Kaoru a prize! FD lifted his right arm with an arrow spaced between his thumb and index fingers to aim, closed his left eye shut and aimed. Here goes something. He released the dart... only to have it ricochet against a misplaced gin bottle, bounce off the floor, and shank the boots of the man in charge of game. Thankfully the man didn't notice. FD didn't mention it despite his sudden blushing. Right, let's try that again. And so he released his second dart, this time striking his target as planned, albeit just off the center. Nils cheered him on. The three remianing darts all struck the target, but none hit the center. "Umm, is that enough for a prize?"
The man tallied the total. "Where's the fifth dart? No matter, that's not half bad, good sir. You scored high enough for our smallest prize." He handed FD an extremely miniature plushie pegasus.
"Here Kaoru," FD told Nils, handing him the pocket-sized pegasus, "it's not much but I want you to have it. You paid."

Looking over, Ziaram noticed the arena, then turned his head another way and saw the other festivities. Hmm...seems like either go for training, or other things...yeah the arena should be good. With that choice made, he started for the arena.

(( I HAD TO. xDD It was too cute to resist...! ))
Amara grinned, keeping her grip on the cloak. She wasn't going to let go, darn it! She was determined to keep holding on! "Yes!!" She said with a giggle, swaying back and forth that she was swinging. It was fun, really! And as long as she was staying on Ephraim's cloak, she might as well have-- ... something? Her eyes widened and she stared up at Ephraim, her mouth forming a little "o". "You got me a present?!" She continued to swing, trying to see past Ephraim's cloak to see what the mystery item was but failed.
Defeated, she carefully lowered herself to the ground, letting go of Ephraim's cloak once her feet could touch the ground. She pouted slightly. Swinging on big brother Ephie's cloak was fun...

(( xDD It is cute, now if only I can replicate it and color it, and not that scrap one I had that isn't worth coloring XP!! ... It is so happening...lolz >.> ))
The amusement of watching Amara try and sneak a look at what he was hiding while still on his cloak. It only made him laugh at how cute she was. Finally, the little girl gave up in defeat and climbed back down till she was on the ground. "You ready?" before she could answer, Ephraim knelt down just a little and pushed his cloak aside, revealing the teddy bear and showed it to her. "I'm..a little too big to have this anyways" Ephraim joked, pulling a fairly large smile upon his face.
...
Actually, little old to have a teddy bear was a lie. He probably still had the teddy bear he got when he was 6..its just..hiding somewhere only the prince knew and as embarressing as it seems, Ephraim wasn't going to admit that anytime soon.

Nils smiled softly, watching FD toss the darts, cheering him on as the second, third, fourth, and fifth one hit the target.
He blinked, staring at the small pegasus plushie. It was... It was... It was absolutely adorable! "I love it!" The bard grinned, slipping the plushie safely into his pocket. "Thank you, Hikaru."
----
Amara gasped, eyes locked on the teddy bear. "Aww~" Her arms wrapped around the bear, snuggling it. "It's so cute!!"
"What do you say, Amara?" Alihi asked her daughter, a grin on her face.
"Thank you, big brother Ephie!!" The small girl hugged Ephraim tightly, squishing the bear between him and herself. "I'll keep it forever and ever and ever and ever and ever!!"
(( I name this the Stuffed Animal Post.

After thinking about it, Luna decided that the experience would be useful. So she head towards the arena.

Sue was waiting ever patiently in the doctor's main headquarters, but so far, she hadn't got an answer as to how Rhys was, or rather... where he was. She had a message she wanted to deliver! Why did she have to wait!?
~~~~
In the arena, Leon scowled at his opponent's blatant showing off to the masses. He retrieved his hand axe that he'd thrown earlier, and then he placed it on his belt, drawing his poleaxe soon after. He took a swing toward Arashe, closing into close range rather quickly. "What do ya think yer doin', pretty boy?!"
