Rita smiled, proud that she actually managed to win her first Mage Duel. She wondered just what kind of spell he was going to use, she had read about him in various mage editorials, his ability to manipulate thunder lightning, his rather "brash" attitude and inpatient behaviour. Rita found him rather intriguing, but yet here he was on the floor, unable to move. "HEY! DO YOU MIND?! I'D LOVE TO BE ABLE TO MOVE NORMALLY!" Alfen protested being stuck in her Hex. Rita laughed nervously. "S-sure, hold on!" She waved her fingers uttering the words "release!" under her breath. Rita was startled by the feminine voice behind her. Rita shot up like a dart and faced the direction of the praise given to her. She noticed by the Staff and the strange, metallic claw that would've been her hand. Rita gulped, her face and demeanor stuck frozen

"R-Rita Lan-Lanna, Curse/Hex Witch of the...errr Lanna Family!" she replied nervously smiling as she quickly returned to her rather shy and reserved personality. "It was really only because he left himself wide open. I just took a gamble really!" She rubbed the back of her head. Rita was always a shy girl, she wasn't much with strangers, and her demeanor was showing that as she spoke to the lady that had watched her brief fight. 

Alfen was already up on his feet when the lady made her presence known. He looked at her with a serious and stern look. "Monarch..." he uttered. He'd briefly crossed paths with her at the Hawks Guild, His grandfather's mage Guild. Alfen had heard that she personally spoke to his grandfather about an order of powerful individuals plotting something. While he did not hear the whole conversation, he knew the gist of why she was here. "Just need to let out this overcharge of lightning, hold on a sec will you?" Alfen turned throwing a rather powerful bolt of pure lightning from his palm. 

The bolt charged through the air, striking the clock tower with destructive force. Parts of the Clock Tower crumbled to the ground in a smoke of dust and debris. Alfen sighed, feeling much better. "Storing up excess energy is bad for my body, you know" he turned around to face both Rita and Monarch, Rita's jaw was nearly dropping to the floor. "So Mona, I take it your the employer I'm supposedly meant to meet here huh?" he asked with goofy smile, scratching the back of his head. Rita was confused as to the situation at hand. "excuse me but....are you guys from The Head Guild of Siphoning and Spells? I was meant to travel and them...I hope" Rita explained her situation. "I'm the grandson of the Archmage! Mona here is...just some Magitech student from some magitech university or something." In truth Alfen did not really know himself. Rita looked at Mona, a shy smile. "If you need some help, I'm not sure what kind of help a Hex Witch would be, but I'll gladly lend a hand" Rita explained, a twinkle in her eyes shown the innocence she still had. Alfen patted her on the head, as if he was an older sibling. "Well I informally welcome you to the Hawks Guild!" Rita was glowing with excitement at the prospect she might end up a fully fledged Hawk Guild Mage. Alfen turned his attention back to Monarch. "what's the plan?"
