[color=A9A9A9][b]"Very well. We accept your challenge... Eric Vasquez."[/b][/color]


Eric didn't expect that Matt would be the one to respond and even less that he would accept the challenge. His acceptance meant that Matt could convince Ceri to participate if Eric won, but on the other hand Eric would competing against the Lizard king himself and even if it wasn't a mage duel between the two of them , the fact his money and the chance to win the prize was on the line made him feel like it.  Eric nervously grabbed the dart pistol at the same time Matt grabbed his, and began thinking about how he could win, not listening to Ceri who was trying to catch their attention. 


Suddenly the whole area was covered in smoke and Eric's thoughts were interrupted as smoke covered his vision. Fearing it was a dark guild attack Eric was a moment away from transforming into Mantis when the smoke cleared up; and when he noticed that only thing was missing from the scene, Eric knew what had happened [color=orange]Maybe…. I put too much pressure on her....[/color] Eric said to Matt. He couldn't believe what had happened, one of the members he needed was gone, did he scare her into escaping? Eric felt a little bad since Ceri was originally with Matt and he made her run away, Eric made a mental note to search for her to apologize to her but first needed to see if Matt was going to search for her or continue with the contest.
