Chapter 4

The crowd cheered as team MAR appeared outside the Reingrave castle, so far they had been doing so well! "Well, I hope all of you have a nice rest last night," greeted Pozun, as he approached the team. "Yeah, we did and we are all geared up for more action!!!" Ginta grinned widely.

The crowd cheered. "It is good to hear that," said Pozun politely. "So, let's roll the dice to decide the field and number of representatives for the next match, Princess Reingrave, please!" The princess walk to the balcony, took a deep breathe and rolled the dice. Pozun went on to examine the dices. " 6 people on each team, THE VOLCANIC FIELD!!!!!"

'Wait!!" said Ginta, "we have something that we need to discuss about." Pozun looked the the team captain with a puzzled look on his face.

"Firstly," said Belle, "we will present to you, one of our newest members!!!!!!!!!!" The door of the Reingrave castle opened, "GOOD MORNING!!!"

The crowd seem to draw a breath in unsion, "ITS ALAN!!! DANNA'S PARTNER IN THE LAST WAR GAME!!! SO HE IS STILL ALIVE???"

"And, our next newest member, Artia!!!" shouted Ginta as he tried to gain the crowd's attention. Pozun clapped his handes, mentioning the crowd to silence. "I hhave a problem over here," said Pozun. "Artia did not take part in the test, she is not legible to participate…" Pozun then gulped and turned to Alan nervously, "Alan did not take part in the test either, proving yourself in the previous war game is not enogh to.."

Alan looked impatient. "OI! Tomato!!" he shouted to a knight who and a cross tied to his back and had a mask made of a pumpkin. "Isn't that a pumpkin?" Artia asked Creativis and Dorothy (who happened to be standing beside her) under her breath, "Why did he called him Tomato?"

"Because his eye sight is not as good as yours, master," said Creativis immediately

"Hmm, because tomato sounds tastier? I have no idea," said Dorothy, "Whatever his name, the knight sure have some magic powers."

"6 years ago, it was a draw. What do you say we continue from here?" Alan challenged the knight. He seem to be hesitating.

After a moment, he said, "POZUN!!" The purple creature jumped, startled,"YES! Halloween?"

"I just received a message from Phantom, his choice is congruent to mine, Alan has special permission to join the game!!!"

"What about Gaira?" the crowd wondered. Halloween seemd to be smirking, "Once again, Phantom had something to say about that too, we don't need an old man in the macth!" The crowd groaned.

Artia looked down, "They will never let me in, right?" she whispered. She knew that it is near impossible for her to enter the match, for if she did, she must have been the youngest participant ever. "Don't get dishearted," said Snow. "Yeah, you can cheer for us with the spectators, we all need it!" said Jack. Artia shook her head, she wanted to participate, she want to, SHE WILL!!! Artia looked up at Halloween determinedly, "What about me? Or are all of you scared of a mere child like me??" she demanded

Halloween looked directly at the child, "Phantom have something to say about you too," he said, though there was displease in his tone. "I don't understand why at all, but he is letting you participate, but only if you can entertain us, girl," he said spitefully.

Artia felt her heart swell with joy. She's in, she is in the War Game!! Just like that? No extreme task needed to prove herslf!!! Except with the simple request to entertain them? That's not too hard. "I promise that I can entertain you well, no, I'll do more then that, I will give you surprises as well!" she said, a smile breaking up on her face.

Phantom smirked as he looked at the scene from his castle. "Another pair of beautiful eyes," he said softly as he observed the young girl, whose eyes shone of both determination and happiness. "Hmph, I guess I will expect no less from the likes of you… Artia."
