Felix's encouragement and reassurance was gratifying enough and eased the tension it could. But nothing could easily diminish the thoughts and memories of their decent into the ancient pre-Academia catacombs; that will remain for years if he were to survive this entire fated mission. At the very least, he expressed some revilement and took a seat in one of the couches and relaxed as much as he psychically could.

While Nemo and Raiya unwinded in their own ways, he listened to Felix explaining the purpose of a container he had produced and placed the Paragon within its confines, leaving it positioned on the table as if another fixture within the mansion. He explained that the case the Paragon now resided in dampened the Paragon's massive emission of mana waves which prevented it was being tracked. It made sense and Travis was sure enough thankful they could contain such a desired artifact without attracting the wrong kind of attention.

It was then Felix requested of Travis to debrief him of the events that unfolded once they found the Paragon. With a quick look to his left, Nemo and Raiya seemed to pay no mind to their conversation as if they were disinterested or they were simply efficient in minding their activities and listening at the same time. With a faint sigh, Travis began, "...After dealing with our last trap, we had arrived in the Paragon's chamber where we found it at the center of the room at the apex of an assemblage of rubble. That was also when we lost contact with you."

"Nemo went to retrieve it but the rubble had then amassed and turned into a golem by the Paragon's power. With our combined efforts..." Travis eyed Nemo and then Raiya before a split moment before following up, "...we were successful in dispatching it and claiming the Paragon."

"Before we could leave though, Thadeus and his group intercepted us..."

Travis paused and leaned forward and gave a faint expression hinted with bewilderment and annoyance, "...I am not sure if his strange behavior comes naturally but he had forced us into combat with his team. Raiya went against Dominick and Dawn Fullbright. Nemo fought with Nevar and I against Alya Summers."

Travis only gave the names of their opponents believing Felix might recognize a name or two. Of course whether he did or not was of little consequence for the most part.  

"At that point, I can only recall most of my battle with Alya as Thadeus erected several wall-like arenas around us individually so we couldn't help each other or stay in any contact. It was perhaps only after that until you eventually intervened."
