Initial Movement of the Dispute

Larissa, Rex, and Lyra shifted their positions while Vicente continued to keep an eye on the pentagram forming. It wasn't time to move yet. The pentagram hadn't formed yet and until it finished stabilizing, approaching it would be dangerous even for the strongest magicians.

The group paid attention to their surroundings, holding their position as they prepared to fight. But just like them, those who had arrived before or who would be arriving in the next few moments wouldn't go near the magical essence in formation. Not only that, they wouldn't face each other directly either; they would just look at each other suspiciously, identifying competitors.

Most of those who arrived in the moments after Vicente realized what was happening in the area were in groups, like his own. But a few individuals, as powerful as the butterfly Vicente thought had drawn him there, arrived not long after the pentagram turned cyan and indigo.
