The Two Challenges

As the sea of Pixies parted, four figures flew out of the middle of the crowd. 

As they approached, Orion got a clearer view of who they were. On the right was a middle-aged man wearing a regal green robe of unknown material adorned with rubies and crystal nail-sized gems. By his side stood a middle-aged woman in a stunning purple gown, and on their other side was a young man with a stern expression, also clad in a green robe, accompanied by a young woman in an emerald dress. 

Unlike the leaders, their attire was less adorned with crystals and rubies. They all had tiny, transparent, light wings that shimmered more brightly than the other pixies around them.

Suddenly, the man, the woman, and the two young individuals following them bowed their heads towards the Princess of the Garden.

"It's always a pleasure to meet you, Princess," the man said.

"How are you doing, High King Eldric?" the Princess of the Garden responded with a smile.
