Draiss had been taking his time with the games, and even though they were games of lesser mortality, it was still twelve, just about to be thirteen when he felt the aura approaching. He looked up, distracted for a moment, thinking it was Avi, but he quickly realized it was far too powerful for her, even suppressed as it was. He controlled his expression, and moved the final piece into place as the door opened, and managed to avoid wincing as he got checkmate just as the approaching challenger did as well. He looked up, and took a sip of his fruit juice, before shrugging, not bothering to stand up at first, instead reaching across to shake the wizard's hand, and thank him for the best game so far. Draiss then moved his custom pieces back, glad he had grabbed the construct set rather than the set he usually used, which had several distinctly non-good companions as pieces, though he suspected Ash and Kammy would cause the most problems.<br/><br/>Done moving his pieces back to his half of the board, though not assembling them into a formation yet, he stood and bowed to the elder solar, realizing he was in the presence of a woman that was likely as old as the Beyonder fortress that he and Ama had gone to, if not older. "You honor me with your presence, ma'am."<br/><br/>He waited for her to seat herself, doing his damnedest to NOT admire her form, before using the usual rules of individual, alternating set up, where each player would set up one piece and take turns, though for multiplayer games, they would all place pieces at the same time, rather than taking turns. He kept his attention on his pieces, part of him already running through possibilities for her presence, clearly she was from the temple he had sensed, either the reason for it, or an avatar of the owner, but either way, it was an unforeseen problem, and a dangerous one at that. She had enough power he would have to release at least some of his aura if it came to a fight, and his demon lord status would be doing a Broadway song and dance number at that point, and he would rather avoid that. For obvious reasons.
