A/N: I lied! We're going after Gymmie next because she and I had this really cool idea for finding her and I want to knock that out of the way. Also, shoutout to EmilyTheAvenger for getting all of the Authors correct. :3

Also realized there was a continuity issue with Cassie and Isa... the team is actually Ivor, Isa, Harper, Ebony, and Nariko- so if you see Cassie in a previous chapter and it's the group with Ivor, just say it's Isa, alrighty? Alrighty. (I'm too lazy to change it xD)

"So... this is Diamblade." Everyone was staring at the huge castle and the busy streets surrounding them. People were milling around and chatting in the streets (although most of the talk seemed political; they were talking about things none of them really knew), and most people would act as if the newcomers were normal.

"Actually, Diamblade is a large united kingdom with the smaller kingdoms of Essention City, Coast Eau, Holz Forest, Plano Lands, Caldo Desert, Mountain Cima and North Frio, which is a joined-together region due to them both being in the north of the kingdom. Currently we are in the center, Essention City, which is basically the political capital of Diamblade," PAMA recited rapidly but clearly.

When everyone looked at him, he tapped his head with a little smile. "Mom put that information in to store it- her notes are getting messy."

"So you've been here before, Harper?" Ivor glanced at the dark-skinned woman.

Harper nodded in response. "Yeah, when the other Old Builders and I were putting signs up in the portal network- remember?"

"Ah, yes. So where do you think this 'Gymmie' is?"

Harper's lips twisted together thoughtfully, crossing her arms. "Well... maybe the Founder knows."

"Oh, there's a Founder of this place as well?" Isa sounded faintly surprised, Benedict clucking away contentedly in her arms. "I don't think I spent that much time in here..."

"Yes, didn't you have a cold last time? Technically, now that I think of it, you were either elsewhere doing research in one of the other worlds, or sick... you never actually came to this world..." Harper trailed off. "Never mind. Yes, Diamblade has a Founder. We should probably go and talk to him or something- figure out who this 'Gymmie' person might be..."

"Well, I'm sure if she's an Author, the townspeople have heard of her," Ebony pointed out, making Ivor jump- the black-haired girl had been standing six inches behind him, her tail flicking thoughtfully. Nariko stood next to her, looking up at the much-taller girl with her single functioning indigo eye. "Maybe we could ask around here rather than risk going and dealing directly with the authority?"

"Mmmmnnn. That does sound more appealing... alright, let's split up into groups of three and ask around, then," Harper decided, "Ivor and PAMA will come with me, while Isa, Ebony, and Nariko stick together as well. Is that okay with everyone?"

Isa shrugged, setting Benedict down, the chicken cheerfully fluttering her wings and sending feathers fluttering everywhere. "That sounds alright with me," she responded faintly formally.

Harper waited for everyone to nod affirmatively, before beginning to walk off. "Alright, let's go ask around."

With that, the two groups split up in the huge crowd of people.

"Did you hear about the game between the Spearheads and the Leaves tonight?" The townsgirl was practically jumping around. "I can't wait to see how Holz Forest does against the Guard!"

"What are you talking about? Spearheads and leaves?"

The girl turned to see a very bemused looking Nariko. "Have you been living under a rock your entire life? The Leaves are the Holz Forest team, and the Spearheads are the Guard's team."

"Team for... what?"

"The soccer game, of course!" The townsgirl explained happily, unaware of the wary look her friend was shooting at her. "Every kingdom'll be there; even the rulers of the various kingdoms. I've heard even Ana and Jack are planning to come, and they don't like leaving the north to come watch the soccer games unless they're REALLY good!"

"There's a soccer game tonight?" This was from Isa, whose eyebrow was raised. Benedict was clucking cheerfully at her feet and running around in little circles.

"Yes! Everyone knows! It's a national thing! It's the national sport of Diamblade! Do you guys not know anything?"

"Soccer is the national sport of Diamblade because of the fact that it stopped the inter-kingdom war. The Holz people were kicking a ball around randomly when some Plano citizens came along. Instead of fighting, they joined in on kicking the ball around, and the game turned into a soccer game. This one soccer game stopped the inter-kingdom war, and then the Founder united the six-or-seven kingdoms to make Diamblade," Ebony rattled off.

Everyone looked at her.

"I read the Atlas earlier when I was bored," Ebony replied as explanation.

A chorus of 'ohhhs' from Isa and Nariko (and even BENEDICT seemed to make this understanding clucking sound) at this explanation.

"When is this game, by the way?" Isa added suddenly, looking back at the townsgirl and her friend. The townsgirl set her finger on her lip. "Ummm, I think it's at 6 or 7."

"It's at 6:30," her friend finally spoke up, having apparently decided that these strangers were harmless, "but people are allowed to start entering the stadium at 6:00. There aren't a few tickets being sold this time around, since it directly involves the Guard. They're only a few iron pieces each, though."

"Where can we buy tickets?" Ebony picked up, glancing at Isa. An understanding look seemed to go between the three girls, and Nariko inclined her head in the smallest nod possible.

The townsgirl pointed down the street. "Down the street, there's a vendor selling tickets- but I'm pretty sure there's only six left, so you might want to hurry."

She'd barely finished when Ebony was bolting down the street, making huge leaping jumps over the crowd using her tail as a booster.

The townsgirl and her friend blinked. "... what?"

Isa rolled her eyes. "I'd better go follow her and get her some iron pieces; I'm not sure she actually has anything. Thank you for the help," she directed this at the townsgirl, before rushing off after Ebony. Nariko scooped up Benedict, bowed rapidly, and then chased after them.

The two townspeople blinked before looking at each other. "... okay?"
