"That's too much of a high praise." Yang nodded with a smile at Vivian praise. She lucked out on the judges category and no one was too fussy about most of them containing mushroom, if they had been more strict, she doubted she could've won.

Still, a win's a win. Shrugging her shoulders at that she basked in the aftermath.

When asked on where Talia went, Yang looked around to find the cyclops. Come to think of it, she didn't notice her disappearance at all. A tinge of worry came before pushing it away, this was a festival after all. "I'm sure she'll be fine."

The moment those words left her mouth, multiple clacking sounds came around and her hair stood on end as her eyes was drawn to sounds of little objects before Talia words came to her ears.

Instinctively, Yang leapt away before thinking, just as thick black smoke erupted from the bombs that engulfed her comrades. It was only when the sounds of Nero and sounds of a scuffle happened that she took a deep breath, hold it and rushed back in.

It stung her eyes but she tried to reach for where Nero was, yet was unable find purchase as her hands futile grasp around for him. It wasn't until Kira blew the smoke away that Yang opened her eyes and realized Nero was gone.

Talia quickly gave them the rough summation and Yang smacked her hands together. "Ah, I knew I forgot something. The prize!"

Thinking on where would the Kikimora would go, Kira seized the initiative and went to get the members first. Leaving them behind and her quickly deciding.

"Alright then! We'll cut off her off as fast as possible. Those who are too slow, try to inform the guards or Rinas to be on the lookout and lock the port! They might try to leave from a boat if the entrance are closed." Yang decisively acted as she crouched low before sprinting forward like a comet, her legs finding purchase on a stool before leaping upwards on top of the buildings of Boreal port, it's short buildings and the dense area became the perfect foothold for her to jump from rooftop to rooftop.

Moving like a Kunoichi, she cut a straight path that allowed her to reach the town entrance in the shortest time possible. She can only pray that she made it in time.

Ditzy wandered around the town, feeling like he was in the clouds as he wondered what else fun things he can find or see in this place. The strength competition was the best! He also proved that he was the strongest, or at least, one of the strongest.

Picking a random direction, he moved and shuffled about until he saw a familiar face. 

[i]It was the harpy boy, alongside another...harpy owl girl? Were they friends?[/i]

Ditzy approached the two steadily, not wanting to take a fall to the ground. It seemed like Ozzy didn't notice him but the owl girl certainly did. Only when he was close enough did he greeted Ozzy.

"Heya Ozzy!" Ditzy raised his hand in excitement, surprising the latter as he turned around to face Ditzy. "Did Ozzy win the smartest competition?"

Now that he was close enough, only did the Owl girl noted Ditzy bigger size, muscle mass, and flat chest. Finally realizing that he wasn't a particularly tall goblin but a hobgoblin due to the mismatched horns. One that was a male despite wearing the traditional goblin garbs of short pants and cloth covering his chest.

The Owl Mage, after seeing the miracle that was Ozzy, now saw another impossibility of a male monster.

"Oh, is Owl girl your friend?" Ditzy turned his attention to the Owl Mage, extending a hand and smile for a handshake. "I'm Ditzy Stoneclub!"

"Also, did Ozzy see the rest of the guild?" He then changed the topic as he asked Ozzy. "Ditzy wanted to see Freyr beat the arrow competition. Freyr shot an apple that someone was holding on their chest before without injuring him, so Freyr definitely should be the best!"
