A snow owl fled towards to the massive castle made out of ice, flapping their purely white feathered wings without hard work even though the harsh blizzard tried to make them give up and fall into the cold snow that covered the ground.

Aurora looked through the large, closed window in front of her, seeing the snow owl flying fast towards her with something shiny between its beak. The Queen of Nost Gal made the large window open once the snow owl arrived close. The large bird swirled around the throne room before landing on one of the sides of Aurora's shoulders, lifting its beak to show a nicely designed scroll holder for the Queen to open.

The snow owl loosened its grip on the scroll holder to let Aurora grab one of the ends of the scroll holder to pull it out. She opened the cap out of curiosity, tilting it down to let a rolled up letter slide out of the scroll holder. The letter fell towards to the palm of her hand, it looked fancy and quite important. Aurora made the scroll holder disappear, then unrolled the rolled up letter to see what message has been sent to her.

Outside of the castle lies a land nothing, but ice and snow. Even with low armor and less coverage, Natalia's body manages to withstand the raging blizzard that Aurora is causing to hide her location. The hooded assassin pulled her legs up and stomped it back down to the thick snow, a groan escaping through her mouth. Natalia was frustrated at the way that she's currently walking, desiring to run towards to the castle made out of ice so that she can get her body warm quick, but the thick snow stopped her from doing so. Once she saw the massive castle, she did not take a moment to look how enchanting and beautiful it is, but rather she quickly walked over to the entrance, only to see that it is closed. Natalia looked at the nearest window that she could enter, planning out how she'll be able to climb the slippery walls that are ice.

The hooded assassin eventually got an idea after thinking, quickly pulling out two daggers out of her small bag then used it to pierce through the thick ice, pulling herself up then pierced through the ice just above her head by using one of the daggers that she's holding and then pulled her body up. Natalia did this repeatedly until she made it to the window, smashing its glasses into fragments without hesitation and then quickly pulled herself up through the now broken window. Natalia safely landed on the ground, running towards to the corners of the hall where the shadows lurks so that she can become invisible and one with the darkness. Aurora heard the window break even though it came quite far from where she is. Even if she did not hear the noise, her magical castle will alarm her that there is a trespasser. "May I ask what the scroll says?" Karina suddenly asked, disturbing Aurora's thinking of who dares to trespass into her territory. Aurora looked at the night Elf assassin, her gaze becoming cold towards Karina. "I am invited as a honored guest for a tournament that is held in the City of Scholars; it is located in the realm of Eruditio." Aurora answered, her gaze moving into Estes. She then continued on with the rest she has to say. "I am certain that you, King Estes has the letter as well. Every rulers, great heroes and heroines are invited to come to this special tournament to see different types of creatures that are strong willed and powerful. You are permitted to bring few friends with you as your companions for this event, they are even allowed to join the tournament, if they are capable enough to fight. But people such as you and me are not allowed to participate in an event like this nor interfere, we are only allowed to guess who'll win and watch how it will go." Estes rarely ever goes to an event, since most of the events that he gets invited to are battles and fights to be crowned as a champion. Estes did not want to see any blood splatter on the ground and walls, he merely wishes that these kind of events should just disappear. A show for the sadistics, Estes would say those words inside his mind whenever he hears an event about battles. "I am sorry, but I have to decline this invitation." Estes said, clenching his hands into a fist. His sudden behavior made Karina quite worried about him, Estes being suddenly upset concerned her. Karina bit her lip out of disappointment, wanting Estes to go for she needs to be there with her other allies to start the plan. At the same time, Karina didn't want to go, but the spell that Alice cast upon her is hard to resist, almost impossible even. "It sounds interesting! Are you certain that you desire to turn this invitation down? Maybe the people there knows how to break my curse." Karina tried to persuade Estes. Holding both of his hands tightly to show him that she sincerely wants to go with him in the tournament. Estes looked at her begging face. For some reason he just can't say no to her, it felt like she was casting a spell on him. With that, Estes gave up, letting out a sigh that sounded tired. "Fine, but expect me to be late once a battle begins." Estes said, pulling both of his hands out of Karina's grip. The night elf assassin grinned, giving Estes a sudden hug as a sign of thank you.
