"I can't believe we're watching a soccer game to try to find one of the Authors," Ivor grumbled as they squeezed into the seats.

Harper shrugged. "Well, if we're lucky she decided to come and have a look, and if we're not we'll just have to figure something else out." She looked around the stadium, before rubbing her head. "It's a good thing Ebony heard that hint about the tickets... otherwise we wouldn't have gotten in here.

PAMA was practically standing on his tiptoes, peering around over people's heads. "I've never seen a soccer game before," he said, sounding very interested about this.

Ebony's purple eyes scanned the scene as well, also glowing a little bit with interest. No, really, they were glowing with interest. "Nor have I... it sounds interesting."

"Well, it's interesting," Isa said reluctantly, lips twisting slightly as she shrugged, "but I don't much like sports."

Benedict let out an agreeing cluck to this.

Nariko happened to be sitting behind someone taller than she was, and she was straining to both see over them and not block everyone behind her. It looked as though she were doing some sort of bizarre dance in her seat. Ivor rolled his eyes a little, although he didn't seem to be able to stop smiling. "It's not that exciting; you don't need to dance in your seat," he told her.

The indigo-eyed Witherstorm hybrid turned to look at him, eyes shining. "But I've never seen a soccer game before," she told him earnestly, her pale, usually sickly appearance practically glowing with excitement.

Honestly, he never would've expected the Witherstorm to take an interest in soccer. Then again, he also never would've expected the Witherstorm to come back as a hybrid in the first place, so...

"Oh! The game is starting!" PAMA exclaimed as he pointed, green hair flopping into his eyes as he bounced up, and everyone immediately turned to watch the field.

One team wearing green jerseys, and the other wearing red, trotted onto the field. Green appeared to be the Leaves, and Red seemed to be the Guard, or the Spearheads. The head of the Red team had her hands on her hips as she surveyed her team.

"Oh? Looks like the head of the Guard is here for the game tonight as well!" the announcer shouted over the cheers of the crowd, Nariko wincing and covering her ears with her hands at the roars of the crowd. "Usually she's busy doing other stuff around Diamblade!"

Harper surveyed the girl, who didn't look any older than a teenager. Her long, dark brown hair with a red streak in it reached down to the middle of her back, matching a pair of dark brown eyes, and her skin looked incredibly tanned. She also looked rather built-looking.

"That's the head of the Guard? ... huh, she doesn't look all that old," Ivor hummed mildly.

Harper would've replied, but then the game started, and they had to take their attention off of the conversation.

The Spearheads and the Leaves actually seemed pretty evenly matched, both teams scoring goals and making the tension in the stadium rise until it was at boiling point. At this point, even the three adults had forgotten how they usually didn't like soccer and were practically sitting on the edge of their seats to see the outcome of the game.

By the time the time was almost out, the game was perfectly tied, and the crowd was practically screaming at the groups for one person to score a goal. The three adults were amused to see PAMA literally jumping up and down in his seat with excitement right then.

The head of the Guard suddenly stole the ball from one of the green players, dribbled it down the field with amazing speed (no, seriously, she was practically blurring down the field), before kicking the ball and launching a beautiful shot right over the goalie's hands into the net, just as the time ran out.

"That's our Gymmie!" the announcer was screaming at the top of his lungs to be heard over the screams of the crowd, and Ivor nearly missed it. Fortunately, he didn't, and his eyes widened as he looked at everyone else significantly.

Isa's head jerked up, and her green eyes widened. "Did he just..."

"Yeah," and PAMA nodded, the little boy also looking shocked. "He did."

"Gymmie, more often known as Samantha Gommadon or 'Gommie', the head of the Guard, has once again won the game for the Spearheads!" the announcer practically roared into the microphone, sounding a little hoarse from screaming his lungs off for the majority of the game.

Gommie, to her credit, wasn't trying to cover her ears like a great majority of her teammates were- she just kind of blinked at the crowd with a big smile before heading off the field, giving the crowd a quick wave.

"Where did Nariko go?" PAMA wondered suddenly.

All three adults' heads snapped to the seat where Nariko had been dancing in place for the past twenty minutes to try to see the soccer game, before spotting the girl weaving through the crowd and making her way over to where Gommie was leaving the stadium, black curly hair bouncing around as she whipped around people precisely.

"She's smart," Ebony sounded impressed by this foresight, before practically catapulting out of her own seat and bolting after Nariko. "Hey! Nariko! Hang on a minute!"

"Don't just run off!" PAMA squirmed out of Harper's grip before bolting down the aisle after them.

The two Old Builders and former Order of the Stone member exchanged a bewildered glance before laughing at this a little bit, and following the three hybrids out of the stadium as the rest of the Guard began to follow the Head out of the stadium as well.

So, they'd just found the Author they were looking for.

Now to see if they could actually get her to help them...
