Dubs had Arctus carry Reagan, and the soldiers followed Dubs up the pathway to the highest entrance.

Guards stood at the entrance, and Dubs cloaked himself and his subordinates in a sheet of darkness particles to sneak past them.

”This spell didn't conceal me from the eyes of the corporal, however these guards are mere footsoldiers that I coukd easily take out if necessary.”, Dubs thought.

The five snuck by as the cloak muffled their movements and they entered into a circular room.

Banners spanned the walls, and a lush red carpet lead to a stairway that had 3 seats on top of it.

A multitude of guards, around 20 in total, stood at the bottom of the stairway, and at the top 3 figures sat at each chair.

They appeared to be waiting for the Corporal who was now dead, and when Dubs and his party entered the room, five of the soldiers were alerted to their presence, and stood at arms.

”Who goes there!?”, one of the soldiers shouted.

The 3 leaders also seemed to notice the presence of Dubs, and they stared intently at the intruders.

”Ah! Looks like weve been caught red handed... tsk tsk..”, Dubs stated as he undid the cloaking spell.

Once the dark blanket had receded the rest of the soldiers stood on guard.

”How dare you enter the throne room so casually!”, one of the knights in the center exclaimed.

He wore a helmet that had a red feather atop it. One of the knights wore a hat with a yellow feather, and three of them wore hats with a green feather.

The rest did not have any garnishments on their helmets.

” Ive come here to give you all a warning...”, Dubs stated boldly.

”Why you little...”, the man with a red feather became frusturated and marched over to Dubs to deal with him.
