Lyall was beginning to grow suspicious of his spirit partner's guidance the longer he waited in the stadium full of unsuspecting duelists and spectators. According to the monster, the three duelists he was interested in would be showing up here at the stadium. However, Lyall had yet to even sense a lick of the Shadow powers they supposedly held, and he had been here since the Stadium first opened up!

"You better not have misled me, Kerykeion," said the teen sternly as his eyes shifted towards the infected spellcaster. Her red eyes simply stared on at the ongoing duel without even bothering to return his look.

"Please Lyall.... have I ever misguided you?"

"Hmph."

Not really. Kerykeion had certainly helped him make a few judgement calls about people in the past, people who now made up most of his small but powerful little group. Still though... there was a first time for everything. 

A few more minutes passed, and Lyall was about to say something else before people started shouting and pointing to what was to be the center stage for the tournament's final and grandest duels. On it were three cloaked figures with a powerful air of darkness about them. Lyall's eyes widened. How in the world did they slip past him?!

"See? Told you," Kerykeion chuckled as she stood upright to hear the announcement of the mysterious trio. Lyall listened as well, his composure regained as he crossed his arms across his chest. All that talk of the Shadow Realm and Shadow Duels must have had everyone here confused...

"They certainly aren't subtle about it," Lyall commented as they neared the end of their speech.

"Why would they be? The main core of the group that ordered the hunts on the likes of them has pretty much been obliterated."

"Literally."

"Yes," Kerykeion continued, "And it's not like everyone even knows what it is they're talking about."

Lyall smirked. Oh, the crowd and duelists would definitely take a shock out of the events that were about to unfold here. Now Lyall had a job to do, and it was to find these three guys, most likely located in the main office of the Stadium that allowed a view of everything in and out of it, and have a little chat with them. 

"Kerykeion," Lyall started, "Have you seen if any... 'hunters' I guess are at this tournament?"

The spellcastress shook her head.

"None. Yet at least. I have however sensed a presence you might find familiar, and it is filled with a disgusting light that has always claimed itself to be pure."

"Well gee, that's so specific? Remind me of how many of those kinds of people we've met in the past? Back home there were a lot of those!"

"Hush now, and start doing whatever it is you need to do here," Kerykeion ordered. Lyall climbed up a few set of stairs to get on to one of the higher floors and give himself a better view of what was going on.
