Walker and Gil had already stood up to start moving toward the side of the seating area. Scylla barely had to even move over toward them which made her happy. If they had attempted to resist she would have jumped over the stone railing to drag them in to battles as well.
"Welcome the honorary elf, The arcane archer Gil!" Gil wasn't super excited to be battling. He had not wanted to get in to things since he wanted to maintain his energy. Zephyr was still resting so he knew that he shouldn't draw on too much mana that could be going to her instead.
"Then we have our royal dragon, master of none, Walker!" Scylla took pride in dragging these two in to a battle. She didn't want the first ever tournament to go poorly so she had to. If Barry had returned even for a second to Genesis she would have found a way to pull him in to a battle.
