Jamie was just about to tell the teams to move out, when a large man, offical looking approached her. Frowning slightly, Jamie stepped aside, listening to him as he explained that Iron Enigma would no longer be participating. The magic games offical explained that they no longer needed a second Phoenix Wing team. 

Jamie wanted to argue, but she knew that could take all day. She shook her head, giving a sigh, and sent the offical on their way. She turned to face the guild, held up a hand for one moment, and then moved over to Jarvis, giving both Amelia and Sam a hug. She studied Amelia for a moment, pondering her, before looking to Jarvis, and hasitly muttering what had happened. 

They conversed for a moment, before Jamie turned back to the guild once more. [color=f26522]"We have been asked to only put forth one team for the last day. So, we have just had to decide which contestants will be in the games. Penny. Damian. Trinity. Nolan. And Joshua"[/color] Jamie had considered Amelia for a moment, however she didn't want to push Amelia, especially after the previous day.

Penny gave a sigh, but it was no more than she had expected, after being brought in when Angelo was taken out, after his battle with Dragon's fang Jackie. She stared at the cloak she now held, A gold insignia over a flaming red background, Taken out a small, golden clasp, she held it in her hands. It was in the shape of a phoenix, clearly old, battered and made of gold. [i]Father...[/i]. Standing, she flung the cloak over her shoulders, in one swift movement, and using the clasp, she clasped the cloak under her throat, She took out a Red ribbon, tying her hair back, making sure no stray strands fell across her face. 

She stood tall, and proud, although grief still hung heavy about her. And yet none could deny the fire behind her eyes, seeming to take away the shadows of the last few difficult nights, and for a moment there seemed to be the faint outline of her phoenix form around her, dying away as she took a step forward. 

The rest of the chosen contestants gave her relief, as well. [i]At least Karn isn't in it. I'm worried about him, and I haven't done nearly enough to help[/i] that had fallen to Sasha and trinity, and Penny felt guilty at that. There had just been so much that had demanded her attention. Solias. Jasmine. the games themselves. More and more, Master Jamie seemed to be putting responsibilities into her hands, and more and more she suspected this was "Training" for guild master status, something Penny did not want. 

Yet she would do all in her power to bring pride to the guild, for those she considered family. [i]I started off with just Sasha, and then somehow Karn wormed his way into my heart. Damian...[/i] she sighed softly, looking over to him, as she made her way into the arena, cloak billowing behind her. [i]And now there's Ariel. I've neglected her, since we returned. I just...I don't know what to make of her[/i] The rest of the guild were there, but those four stood strongest in her heart. 

She could do this, for them.

Her gaze met Master Jamie's as she looked up, and it seemed for a moment that the guild Master was searching for somethingn in Penny's gaze. Whatever it was, she must have found it. She gave a nod, satisfied, and Penny looked away. 

She stepped onto the Arena's ground, drawing in a deep breath, she was the first of the team to walk over to the area that held the Phoenix Wing Symbol, painted it seemed on the ground. To the right was the Dragon Fang Symbol, across was the Frenzy Plant symbol, and across from Dragon Fang, Riders blade, on either side were Tough love and Pirate lord. Penny merely stood on the symbol, and she looked up into the stands, over her guild. 

She raised the back of her right hand, showing the crimson mark there, and fire rose into the air, twirling into the guild mark of Phoenix Wing, blazing there a moment, calling her team, before dying away.

Jamie turned back to Jarvis, noting Fraquar standing, waiting. She crouched, giving both her daughters another hug, and rising, she walked over to where Riders Blade's guild master was waiting, but didnt yet say anything.
