Travis procured a fist sized rough looking gem. Roughly in the shape of a sphere, with many cumbersome edges. The shape was nothing special it looked like a normal rock. But the purple transparency with the shimmering, dynamic, almost alive glow that exuded from within was anything but normal. When Felix analyzed it with manalysis he was overwhelmed. Even against his own manawell, the aura that came from the gem was like a vast ocean, his own manawell like gallon bucket of water comparatively. But something else struck Felix. mana waves exuding from the crystal were unlike a normally charged manacrystal. Instead, the paragon had its own living aura. This was very peculiar and something he'd have to look into further. 

Felix grabbed the paragon, and tucked it away in his robes.

"Good job, team. Even though we suffered a loss, you have succeed. You guys will have to debrief me on what happened after you found the paragon. But that can wait."

Alya explained that she wished to join their ranks, which took Felix by surprise. He pursed his lips and placed his hand under his chin to contemplate. It took him about 30 seconds to come up with a response.

"Well, it's a little more intricate than just allowing someone to join. Without giving too much away, these members you see before me were not chosen by me. So it's not really up to me who joins and who doesn't. So, without other confirmation, I unfortunately cannot allow you to join. And since our hideout location is a secret, we can't be taking people who aren't part of the lis-" Felix stopped himself before he spoke anything about the list that he had dreamed. To anyone who was not on the list, it would sound absolutely insane. 

"Anyway, I can teleport you out of these ruins if would like. But that's as far as I can take you." Felix suggested.
