Tolkalee had stood up and was not far from the girl now, watching both the entryways to the room. He glanced at the girl and saw her shivering. His hoodie wasn't working very well.

Rogue completes his blood magic ritual. Coughing up phlegm and blood, the ground around Rogue begins to glow as another portal opens in front of him. "Hopefully this takes me to where they are."
Rogue flips his hood over his head and pulls up his mask. "Dimensional Teleportation!"

(Holy shit, this took off while I was out! Excuse me while I try to insert myself back in)

Galahad was lost. He didn't know it, but his compass was very much turned around. Noises were happening from what seemed like miles away, the people in masks were of no help in giving directions, and at one point his compass began spinning like a top before recalibrating itself to what he thought was the correct path.
Must be magical interference, but I can't tell from what.
Eventually, he made it to the War section. He didn't know it was War, but the spirits milling about had grievous wounds from all manner of weapons. Some looked like floating masses of limbs, while others had baseball-sized holes in various parts of their bodies. He decided it was best to ask if anyone knew anything about his siblings.
Galahad walked up to a spirit with a sword buried within its ribs. "Hello," he greeted, tapping it on the shoulder. "I was wondering if you knew a Percival or Lancelot Wiergils around here?"

Hinata had lulled into a fitful slumber.

Tolkalee glanced at the girl again, making sure she was still breathing, while still watching the doorways. He noticed her long black hair and thought of his sister Tonakee. Then he noticed the little gold stripe in her hair. That's odd, wonder where that came from, he thought to himself.

Hinata slowly opened her eyes. She tried to sit up.

"I'd stay down if I were you," Tolkalee warned. "You'll probably be light headed." He stood up and walked over to her.

"I'll be f-fine…" She laid back down.
"This is wrong. I usually heal faster than this."

"What's your name?" he asked sitting down next to her.

"Hinata. Hinata Hayashi. You?" Hinata rested her hands on her swords, in a non-threatening way. She was bringing herself comfort knowing her constant companions where here with her.

Name: Kai Yuzog
Species: lava elemental "monster".
Age: 19, probably. They don't really celebrate birthdays in the monster realm.
Powers: Can produce small green and pink flames from her hands, when emotionally triggered tends to split the ground and make lava rise to the surface. Carries a backpack full of "necessities" like ice cream.
Appearance: Kai Yuzog a
Weapons: Other than the flames that she can produce as she's a lava elemental, she carries small switchblades in her shorts.

"Tolkalee Sylali," he said. "What are you doing down here?"

Kai stood outside the portal to the Labyrinth. She was very, very, confused - though she had been walking for the last few hours, she had no idea how she had ended up here. She had taken a right, and a left, and then another right… or something.
She was in the forest, surrounded by small trees barely taller than her. She was lucky, she thought. After wandering, she had sat on a stump to drink from her canteen of water, and when she looked to her left the portal stared her in the face.
She looked at the portal and gulped. Other than the fact that the portal was supposed to lead you to the realm of the dead, she knew nothing about the Labyrinth. She knew it was dangerous, though. Still, after her parents had been killed for joining the humans during the Great Wyvern War, she had, without thinking, traveled here as fast as she could. This was the first time she was having second thoughts about anything in well, a long while.

Slowly, she picked up an acorn from the ground and threw it into the portal. When nothing seemed to stir, Kai walked in. Even before she opened her eyes, she realized that there was a mask on her face. She felt it. The mask was chiseled and fit her face perfectly. Though she felt annoyingly stifled, she didn't take it off.
When she opened her eyes, she saw an odd scene. Spirits were walking around in front of her, and she was very confused.

Adara took a deep breath, dragging her hand over her masked face. She could do this.

The spirits that Galahad talked to didn't know of anyone named Percival or Lancelot, but there were a lot of people around here that were victims of the Great Wyvern War. Many looked at Galahad with disdain, but they couldn't do more than that. He didn't mention that he was on the side of the rebellion that was trying to stop the entire war, as a lot of people with a lot of highly illegal, extremely dangerous magic would only make them even more distrustful. He only said that he was looking for his family due to the fact that a friend of his lured a human battalion to his encampment, which was overrun in minutes. Everyone who didn't escape was massacred, and then another spirit tapped the Animus-user on the shoulder.
"I was there," she said in a ghostly-thin voice. "But it wasn't on purpose."
"What do you mean?" Galahad interrogated. "Yamatsu lured them close to the camp so he could fight them without having to leave is precious girlfriend behind!"
"Do you really think that he would endanger Sharla like that?" the spirit asked.
"I wouldn't put anything past that oaf."
"That's rich, coming from the person who used to be his best friend."

"I'm looking for my parents. You?"

"I honestly don't know why I decided to come here," Tolkalee thought about it for a moment. "Maybe I thought I could find my best friend, but the longer I think about it, he won't want me to be looking for him." He looked at the ground, still lost in thought. "I have to wonder though, a portal to this place opened not very long I started thinking about him. Was it like that for you?"

(I’m back…[Just woke up lol])

Aisen (Knight A) was the only one in the training room. Carlsen (Knight C) seemed to be in another. Opening the door, Adara would see Aisen being sliced opened from head-to-toe by a man in a cloak. The room was almost pin drop silent. Pieces of ‘flesh’ fell to the ground as he was tied to a vertical pole. A messed up face, disfigured arms and broken body, the punishment didn’t stop there. “Anthony…” the man in the cloak called out. Knight H walked out from the shadows, giving the man syringes filled with some green liquid. The injection part began…the syringe was used on his eyes, hands and arms. The green liquid in the syringes travel in his veins and circled in them, causing some intense spasms in each parts. Once the shaking stops, the cloaked man held his hand up and said something…Aisen’s body was then reformed back to normal, yet there was some differences in him. As Aisen slowly got up, a loud and terrified scream can be heard coming from the next room.

In the War region, Knight G, K and L were on break, when an announcement was made. “Attention all Knights! An unfamiliar aura was discovered by the War region. Any of the Knights who are by the area please find the source and take care of it. Thank you”

Not long after, another one was made. “Apologies. Knight F has reported that an unfamiliar time manipulator was found present near the Sacrifice and Betrayal region. Knight D and E, please take care of them. Thank you”

Tolkalee stood up, looked around the room and scoffed. "Oh, really? Time manipulator? If you only knew what I was capable of," he almost laughed. "Good luck finding me, you're talking about the man that disappeared without a trace for over ten years." He looked at Hinata and gave a smile. "You wanna play hide n seek with some people that are trying to kill us?" he offered his hand to her.

Knight F walked into the room Tolkalee was in before he could go anywhere. “Oh…well it’s not going such an easy game of hide’n’seek…Tolkalee Sylali…” he said with a smile before moving to another, still holding his staff.

Knight B was walking around the center hall in a large hallway when everything was going on outside. He came upon a large door with skulls amongst skulls implanted in it. He chanted something to make the door open. He bowed once before kneeling…”Greetings, Your Majesty…” he said as he kneeled. “Did you get what I asked of you, Nathan?” the figure on a throne like chair asked. “Of course…here it is, your majesty” Knight B answered as he grabbed a blue marble out of his coat. The figure looked at them before grinning “Perfect…”

Hinata pulled out one of her swords.
"This could be interesting."
