"We are a self relying community here. What happens outside the forest is none of our concern. Besides, you are a reasonable person, you don't do anything without a good reason," he said, still watching Tieral's movements, "We have nothing to worry about for the week though. Crime always seems to just disappear all together during the week of a festival."

"That sounds like a fine idea after such a rough start to the day," the council member said, taking Goldenscale's hand, "We'll be sure to put something togetherfor Mayumi. She didn't deserve any of this mess."

"First, I want to take care of that gryphon you fought yesterday. Clair told me what happened and what you sensed. She even showed me what she recorded. You were cheated, and they need to know," Tieral said, reverting back to his normal self, "You can go to the festival if you want, I want to set things right."

"Isn't the first fight redered invalid if it can be proven that he cheated," he asked, "Seeing as Mayumi has already went home, I suggest we swing by and ask her if there's any way to counter whatever it is he's using."

"I'm going with you. Even if you can recover from normally fatal wounds, I don't want you getting yourself hurt," he said, fallowing GOldenscale, "He cheated once, he'll likely cheat again."

"Mayumi will most likely be watching. She's already waiting at the arena," he said, still fallowing close behind, "I don't know why she's there, but she just is."

"You keep forgetting about the crystal I gave you don't you," Mayumi asked, chuckling, "The crystal holds a part of my soul remember? So long as part of my soul can hear something, I can hear that something. I also know you were cheated last night. I've set up a spell on the arena that dispells any after effects of potions or magic. It will also disable any magical equipment that enters the arena. The only thing you and he will have is your natural abilities."

"Maybe." she said with a sigh.  "My opponent isn't too happy."

"Trust me, this is a spell I've been using to even out fights for a long time. I've never seen a potion or enchantment survive this spell. It does nothing more than dispell added effects to the body. Only nature itself can force magic to work through the spell," she said, patting Goldenscale on the back with a wing, "He will be especially unhappy if I catch him cheating. If he does, I'm just going to let my instincts take over and show him what member of the flarion dragonflight will do to get even. The laminaria you smelled last night was a long acting regeneration potion with added ingredients to boost his natural defences and strength."
