"Hello? Hello? Can you help me? My name is Jak Price. I want to fight some very strong people but I just can't. I can't move. I-I-know what I have to do but I am stuck! I am stuck!"

'Calm down, kid. You have something you really want to do, huh? Something that you most desire. A dream?' A voice called out, speaking to him

"Yes."

'The only thing holding you back, are your own fears. The more you latch onto what is familiar and safe, the more you hold back and the less you enjoy life and live up to your potential. Did the heroes of the past ever let laziness and comfort steal their accomplishments away? Or did they endure greatly so that their story could be known and spoken about for generations to come? If you really believe in yourself, you will try to imagine those people of the future looking up to you and from that you'll know that you must do what you were supposed to do.'

"W-Will you always support me, blue man?"

The voice chuckled then disappeared

"W-Wait! Come back! But I don't want to think about the future."

"Jak! Who were you speaking to?" Starr asked him

"Myself." He lied, adding a nervous laughter

"Anyway, lets fight the Circle!" Starr replied, taking Jak's hand and pulling him towards their headquarters and leaving little to no time for Jak to reconsider.

The meeting of the Circle members.

Arkhon and the other Circle members were in a really large house with a large pool on the outside that was kept covered until it would be used again.
A flag was pinned on the door which was The Circles' logo.

The second most important flag of Lakedaemon.

A circle with wings.

The words 'Wings Of Freedom' were written on the flag.

The Circle members were sat in one of the rooms of the house and were having a discussion.

"So has anyone actually decided how the kids' tournament games will be carried out? What island are we choosing? Anyone here that can actually contribute to this group?" Nimue spoke, sighing at the considerably laid-back attitude of the rest of the group

She smiled when she realized that Klaw II (Firebeard) had an idea.

"Maybe, the large island called Pandora would be nice. Haven't been there since I was a little kid." He spoke

"Pandora.. that's quite a dangerous island you've picked. Are you sure that these kids could handle it? I doubt it. A bunch of them are weak little humans." Nimue spoke

"Good, for it is better to pick a more dangerous island than any ordinary place. These children may be part of the upcoming war against the Sinister Blue. They must grow up into toughened warriors and not be so pampered all the time. I am confident that the survivors of this game will grow up to become mighty warriors! Just like the survivors before them." Arkhon added

"I'm afraid you're right. We cannot coddle them as we have difficult times ahead of us. Anyway, have you seen M. Gravity Flames?" Nimue asked

"Yeah. The brat was drinking too many rainbow potions again. He got into trouble for peeing on the rooftop of someone's house but as a Circle member, he got away with it. Weirdo. If I knew he would do things like that then I wouldn't have even got him to join us." Arkhon said

"This is why you shouldn't have recruited that animal. Any update on the Demon King? He still rests in that coffin in the corner of this room, right?" Klaw II asked
