Alex, as well as the chess piece running after her, came to an abrupt halt as the wind around them began to pick up. She could only watch in awe at what looked like an angel made herself present in front of the ragtag group. Judging by the outfit, Alex would have guessed that this person wasn't as pure as angels are often depicted, but she kept her mouth shut in fear of getting attacked or something.

As the being made several orbs appear in front of her, Alex unconsciously stepped back. She knew all about the 'Orbs of Death', a trope present in most fantasy stories and video games. It looked like Z had the same though judging by his reaction, which ultimately made the short haired brunette suppress a laugh. However, she quickly recomposed herself when she felt the chess piece from earlier giving her a hollow stare. As the orbs grew closer, Alex tensed, shutting her eyes and expecting the worse, but what she was greeted with was the sound and feeling of something wrapping around her wrist. Yellow green eyes quickly opened and she could only gawk at the strange device she had now acquired.

Of course, being who she was, Alex immediately began prodding at the device, attempting to pull it off and even gnawing on it.
[color=darkgray][b]"Um, milady? Please don't do that. That is a very important device that will help save our world."[/b][/color] The creature said in the most calming way he possibly could. [color=#69cfff][b]"...S-So this world is the Digiworld? Why is i-it in peril? What's wrong with it?"[/b][/color] She blurted out, surprised at even herself for noticing how easy it was to talk to the life sized pawn. Said pawn simply shook its head before sighing. [color=darkgray][b]"You will know in due time, milady."[/b][/color] It mumbled out before bringing its attention back to the angel figure above.

Alex could only watch as the being soon bought it's attention to her, telling her to 'reassume thy Reliability', followed by a familiar symbol of a cross with four right triangles inverted to frame said cross. Reliability...her? Well, if it was referring to the pawn that kept following her, then yes, that was very accurate, but what kind of Reliability could she have with a body like this? Was she meant to gain the dependency of these strangers? It felt impossible, especially since she can barely do anything for herself, let alone for other people...

Was she offended by what the angel asked her to do? No, not really, but it was clear that she wasn't the best choice to do something like this. Thankfully, one of the vulgar teenagers - Dorotea was it? - practically spoke for her, and all of them really. They didn't look cut out for this at all...
[color=darkgray][b]"I am very positive you can do this, milady. With the help of me and the others, you can do this."[/b][/color] The pawn said truthfully before nodding and bowing slightly. [color=darkgray][b]"Allow me to assist you, milady. This is the one request I will not accept 'no' as an answer."[/b][/color] 

Still unsure of what to make of this, Alex lowered her head.
[color=#69cfff][b]"...I w-wanna think about it..."[/b][/color] She mumbled before looking up and over at Z, who seemed to be confused by what his crest meant. [color=#C04000][b]"My hope huh? The hell does that mean?"[/b][/color] were is exact words, and while almost everything about the older man was a bit silly and endearing, she felt pity on him for being forced to acquire such a vague thing.

Shuffling over slowly as not to scare the man, Alex, along with the chess piece silently following behind, brought a hand up slightly to get his attention before speaking up.
[color=#69cfff][b]"...I-It's expecting or believing that something will happen. U-Um, do you expect anything to happen right now?"[/b][/color] She asked, oblivious to how these crests and virtues still work. They had to 'be the crests, in order to find the crests', right?
