"Welcome, participants. " Time announced.

Time, he looked middle-aged, growing a short beard and mustache. His hair was brown, with a few white streaks. He stood beside an empty throne, wearing a suit.

Time said, "Most of you don't know, but you have been selected for a special event. "

Mevis looked around her, confused.

Air was close behind her, looking at Time blankly. I went over to them. Time continued, "This may be inconvenient, but I assure you masters, I will ensure your survival. Now, on to the game. "

He clapped, his metal right hand clanking.

A screen appeared beside him. "The teams are simple. In the first team, is the master Mevis, her servants Fire and Air. The second team is the master Victor and his servant Water, tagging with the master Orlando, with his servant Space. "

The screen changed.

"The game is simple. Each team will be given four tags. The goal of the opposing team is to collect tags. There will be random challenges appearing in this city, allowing you to also collect tags. "

It showed a few landmarks glowing.

"Any form of trickery or fighting is allowed. The challenges, only the masters can do. The first team to lose all their tags for more than twenty-four hours loses. Any questions? "

Orlando raised his hand, "What's in it for the winner? "

Time clapped and replied, "The winner... By order of Creation, is to get the essence of Magic. "

"Creation? " Water asked. "I thought h- "

"He is not. " Time told him. "Creation still lives. The winner of this game will receive the essence of Magic, a human has the chance to become an Elemental. "

"Why us? " Mevis asked.

Time looked at her. "Sorry, but this was completely random. I had put a bunch of master's names into a randomiser. Your name happened to pop up. "

He waited for some more time.

No other questions.

Time bowed, saying, "Well, if there are no more questions, I will be sending you into the human world again. Please, try to win. "

We were back in the school, on the roof.

In Mevis' hands were four tags. Each tag had a symbol of an Elemental. We had the tags of Fire, Air, Earth and Light.

The others would probably have tags with Water, Space, Nature and Dark.
