                From the guests' perspectives.

No one had taken notice when Calla Lind and Alexander Locke made their entrance, so when Ben Carter called them out, people were completely astounded. It was like discovering wild flowers among weeds or raw uncut jewels. No one really understood the duo's worth.

                Everyone was lost in a trance while they watched the duo walked to the platform. The pretty man looked model-perfect in jet black suit, vest, and tie. The pretty woman looked just as perfect in skinny white slacks, sleeve-less silk blouse, and a hot pink silk sash tied around her waist into a lovely bow at her hip. The duo stood tall side by side – one at six feet, the other at five feet ten in her pink Jimmy Choo. Both were equally captivating to the audience.

                Watching the duo play the Aion's Game, many couldn't help be lost in their charms. Every time the duo laughed or cheered the other on, hearts could not control the fierce beating or skipping. There had been several other partners playing the same game previously, but none of them appeared to have as much fun as the pretty duo.

                At the end of the game, everyone watched as the pretty duo walked toward each other and gave a smooth high-five. The pretty woman flashed her deep dimples smile, while the pretty man patted her head softly. The gentle gesture stirred many hearts to jealousy. Jealous that the man has received such a pretty smile from the woman. Jealous that the woman has received such kind affections from the man.

                All a while, the pretty duo remained oblivious to the crowd's reaction to them.
