"You still never told me her name, you know." Alumina pointed out, glancing to the relatively sweet chimera sitting on the ground beside her, watching the feed of the maze with her.

Moldy's ears twitched her in her direction, before slowly glancing toward her, blinking a few times. "Did you ask?" He asked of her and she gave him a flat stare, how could he have...?

"Yes." She replied patiently.

"Mistress... Her name is Narina." He said simply, "She hasn't used it in a long time though." Sadness crept its way into his voice and Alumina blinked.

"What's wrong?" She asked slowly,

"It... Its nothing really..." Moldy mumbled, eyes falling closed. "Mistress hasn't been happy for a long time, I wish she could find something to make her happy, she needs a place to belong..." He smiled slightly. ".. At least she's having fun, I haven't seen her this excited over anything in a very long time."

Alumina blinked a few times, "Excited?" She echoed, remembering... Narina's voice and expressions earlier. None of them had struck her as being 'excited'.

"Oh she may not look or sound it," Moldy said, seeming to guess what she was thinking. "But she was very excited to get this game going, and I can promise she's even more excited for when someone in your Guild finally reaches the prize." Alumina silently doubted the words, but said nothing against them.

"... If I'm not the 'real' prize," she started. "Why am I stuck here away from everyone else?"

Moldy stiffened, eyes growing wide and slowly looking to her, smiling sheepishly. She raised an eyebrow at the look, not quite understanding why...?

"Uh... I don't actually know, sorry." The chimera chuckled a little and she deadpanned.

"Wait, what?!" She gasped, eyes wide. "Why don't you know?!" She asked quickly, finding it very odd that Moldy wouldn't know what was waiting for the Fairy Tail members, when the chimera seemed to know a lot about Narina's Mazes.

He shrugged, "Mistress chose to keep that secret from I as well as the rest of you," he grinned. "But I'm sure its something great."

"Happy!" Natsu called, struggling against the light blue slime he had stepped into, which was continually dragging him down. The pinkette's cheeks puffed up as he blew a bout of fire at the slime, but his flames didn't even burn it, and only died out.

"Happy!" He called again, sweatdropping. Then he blinked, realizing he hadn't been with the little blue Exceed from the start. He huffed, "Shit..." He muttered, a vein ticking on his forehead. "LET ME GO DAMN IT!" He yelled at the top of his lungs, head thrown back as he let loose a fury of fire from his mouth, the slim sticking to his arms now and still dragging him into the ground.

"Damn it Leo!" Ursa snapped, pinching the bridge of her nose and glaring down at the 'leader of the zodiac', whom was being slowly consumed by blue slime he had stepped into.

"You just about stepped in it too, Ursa." Leo grumbled back, struggling against the stuff. "And let me remind you, what you look like right now." He smirked and Ursa blinked, scowling.

"Shut up.." She mumbled with a huff. All sorts of pastel little fluff balls were sticking to her clothes and hair, adding a plethora of color to her usually grey appearance. She gazed at him levelly with her golden eyes, "How do you plan to get out of that?" She asked and he blinked.
