Dimensional Descent

Leonel frowned, waiting for the other shoe to drop. But the more he observed the situation, the more uncomfortable he felt. Not only did he finally notice that there were only humans present, but there was a distinct lack of Noah as well.

His grandfather had said that he would make Noah participate in this as well, could it be that Noah had died? Leonel's relationship with Noah could be said to be close, and they had also started said relationship off on the wrong foot. However, Noah was still family and he didn't believe that his grandfather had spoken those words without reason. In all likelihood, Emperor Fawkes wanted Leonel to do what he could to help Noah if the opportunity was given, or else he might not have mentioned it at all.

Leonel hadn't run into Noah during the first round, and now he wasn't here even during this gathering. It made him feel that maybe he had to prepare for the worst. His dislike of the situation grew, but the tranquility in his eyes remained.

"Congratulations to those of you that have survived and regained your bearings. You have made it through the first cleansing."

But why should he be surprised? This was always what these people did.

"Now that you have made it to this stage, I will give you your task-"

Leonel's frown deepened. That was it? No more fighting? Or was this just the start of the battles?
