```"I need not know you for long, as credit is due where I deem"```

*He chuckled, then with te food suddenly appearing, he smiled and looked at the witch for a moment. Then he began to eat and nodded as it was simply too good. But after thoroughly chewing and swallowing his food, he spoke once more*

```"It's not impossible, many will go to any lengths to reach a new height of strength. However, it depends as to how low they've fallen. Many within the upper realm resort to such methods because they could not over come their inner demons."```

*Explaining his thinking at least, his experience within the upper realm has shown him many things and horrors that others would wish not to speak of*
Deborah
```"It is up to us and our strengths to overcome each other's. Though, we can only hope that Junior Wei Wuxian is capable of defeating him"```

*The old man said, the only other were the 7th, 8th, and 9th star, however his expectations weren't high. It isn't due to skepticism, they too understood that they were weaker, thus they couldn't make any moves. He sighed, as he had essentially placed all his faith upon this man before them*

```"I know you are young warrior, and how am I scary? Is it because of my eyes and long old shriveled face? You little rascal, dare calling me old?"```

*The spear king chuckled as he said it jokingly, messing with the boys hairs with a single rub on his head*
Jose
```"I'll simply abide by my own time, awaiting for my chance to challenge the sword saint. I need not rush, I will show everyone what the Immortal Sword Palace is capable of. Speaking of, I'm thinking about entering my son and daughter into the tournament as well if it wouldn't be an inconvenience, ha ha ha"```

*The man smiled as he excitedly awaited for the chance and moment to topple that so called sword saint... Though when he asked this, he was unsure as he didn't know whether it was allowed for him to do so as they hadn't been officially recognized themselves, however both have distinguished feats and achievements. However, he would not be upset if they were allowed to as what he asked might overstep boundaries*

```"And of course, if it is, I will take no offense. I simply also wish for them to experience"```
Lorene
`"Perhaps that may be true we shall see, I wouldn't put anything past this man but then again no matter what happens we cannot interfere with the outcome unless the fighter surrenders and or gets knocked unconscious, but there is a clause, in the tournament at least if it shown that the fighter won through unfair and questionable, actions prior to the match, the star who did so could be at risk of being stripped of all there privileges will be the loser by default of the bout buy remain the rank as a star."`

*It wasn't the best punishment but it was one they gave to retain a great asset but still give a punishment it could even include house arrest only allow them out to fight then return explained this. She wanted Wei to know everything the tournament had to offer.*

`"Let us not forget we have commander Aeriyln will challenge the sword saint, sword saint wants to challenge elias I say to get things going quickly, commander aeriyln sit this one out. Let sword saint challenge elias let us see what he has up his sleeve during the bout, see how far he's willing to go for a victory."`

*Even though she said they can't step in as it was sacred tournament for elias she would risk the punishment if it did come to it then again everyone could understand where she was coming from as Wei asked if his son and daughter could enter the tournament she looked to aeriyln.*
Ramon
*Looked up at them and thought for a few moments.*

`"Ok I won't challenge him, but if he hurts elias I'll blame you, because you know he isn't feeling well now and isn't at his best. "`

*She sighed as she turned to see the spear king rubbing his head she chuckled.*

`"I apologize Wei I don't think your son and daughter may be allowed to join, they usually send out scrolls to those they deem worthy to take part in the tournament, not only that they did have smaller tournaments running all across the many nations much like city competition then regional competition then nationals, then us the final"`
Jerome
*Listened to the spear king closely as he said they could put faith in wei to take him down a peg, he wondered if the sword saint lost his arm that would basically make him weak enough to yo be thrown out of thd stars, he himself didn't like blood or having to cause anyone great bodily harm feeling his head rubbed his hair was fluffy and turned every which way he giggles and felt warm in his chest happy to have people who cared for him around him he had no family so this family was all he needed.*

`"Maybe... Because you are old... And really tall! Your like a giant and and it's because I seen you fight I would not want to fight you nope nuh uh your dawned in all black like um midnight you make the shadows fear you!"`

*He exclaimed as he tried to use his hands to show how scary spear king chastiful was and made the shadows run in fear from him, this was all jokes though he spoke once more.*

`"I am not a rascal! I am the sleeping star."`

*He said with a yawn.*

`"I think I'll be ok I'll beat him up aeriyln don't worry the poison isn't effecting me whatever it is."`

*This was untrue but hopefully it would be gone tomorrow, he didn't want to be caught alone though again.*

`"I think I'll go to bed soon I'm more tired then usual..."`

*He had a stomach ache but it was fine he stood up slowly and placed his small hand on the table staggered slightly spilling the chocolate to the side in the table.*

`"Oh I... I... I'm sorry."`

*He tried to grab napkins and to clean up the mess his eyes closing slightly and opening again why is everything so slow.. Did he want to release his magic to speed up or reserve it, he would decide on the latter, but this sleepiness was something else he lifted his head slowly everyone was talking almost in slow motion.*
