The scene changed, Iris stood in a forest. It was night and the moon was only new yet to her confusion the forest was as clear as day to her eyes. Around her were trees of all shapes and sizes, Iris recognised the oak, willows and pine trees weaving through each other offering more to the unique beauty of the forest. Iris took a step back as she watched lights dance in the sky, moving closer. As they came down she could make out details, they were small pixies of 4 different colours: red, blue, white and green. Although as they did come closer she noticed that they weren't dancing at all but fighting with each other, although elegantly at that.
They suddenly stopped and started squeaking at each other above iris' head.
"umm... what are they"...
The pixies stared at her for a second then started to introduce themselves:
"Hi! I'm Pyro"
"Whatssup I'm Terra"
"Aqua, nice to meet-"
"Hello my name's Ceara"
"Hey don't interrupt me!"
They started to fight again. Hitting each other with light punches.
—I this the second phase? .. do I have to 'balance them'?—
Iris assumed that this test would have an ongoing theme to it. Thinking about it more Iris came to the conclusion. She must stop them fighting, thinking of no better way to find out than by asking: "Why are you all fighting?" ... the pixies stopped stared at her then started yammering on about some sort of beautiful stone they collected and how they stole from each other. Aqua then suggested showing Iris the problem, "follow me.." Iris obeyed, the others followed behind her. Aqua came to an opening in the trees with a small pond and a miniature temple placed on the water bank. He flew in to retrieve the stones: "Here are the ones I stole back from Pyro, he took these."
Aqua passed them both to iris. The stone was a faint blue colour, however, there was also one with a faint red colour. Iris had an idea: "Aqua would you mind giving all of you stones? also can you three bring you stones here? I want to sort through them" Iris was going to sort them as it seemed that they were colour reliant. Terra was the first to respond: "How do we know that you won't steal them?" The other pixies looked at her as well after hearing this. Iris was shocked at their intelligence.
— Hmm, I don't have any items to swear on, oh wait— Iris pulled out the white stone from her pocket, keeping the black one.
"You can have this but I want it back when I give all the stones back to you" Iris placed the stone on the grass. The pixies agreed not to steal it themselves either with reluctant looks. After this, the Pixies went to their individual homes to collect their stones. Ceara who was the fastest out of them all came back first, carrying 9 stones on her back. Next was Pyro with 5 then Aqua with 4 and finally Terra with 6 stones. As they came they dropped all the stones into the middle of an opening, Iris started to sort out the colours. Red, blue, green and white piles of 8 stones featured around her. She then passed the stones to each pixie with the corresponding colours. And they then flew back to their homes. As Iris was about to pick up the white stone the forest became lighter, flowers blooming from the grass and birds tweeting, compared to now it seemed dead. She pocketed the white stone again when the Pixies came back, "Thank you so much" Terra had an attitude but was polite this time. "Have this as thanks..." Ceara held out one of his stones and the others followed suit.
—Well, I do want them.. nice!" Iris happily accepted all of the stones and was teleported out of the hidden map...
