When Emery and his friends arrived at the Magus Hub, the symbols on their hands issued a notification. They all looked at it the same time.
[Five days left until Magus Games starts]
Realizing that it was also past noon upon their arrival, it meant that they only had 5 days left to prepare and gather all they could until the Magus Games began. Although they had managed to finish the Master Tahoggum's task of gathering one ton of titanium each faster than what they had first expected, seeing the time dwindling by one second each, a sense of urgency sprang up inside them. Time was of the essence.
The group decided not to waste any time by grouping together in everything they do, so they divided their tasks. Emery, Thrax and Chumo would travel to the Golden City and would go their separate ways after Thrax and Chumo got off the carriage.
