"you were too correct"
Hadrian looked at Gaz, “Let’s get this over with. Once we do it
everything will turn white and then we will all be transferred to 5
days til I become king.” He said.
The king rubbed his beard and nodded, “I would like more royal
guard patrolling the castle” he told Soros.
He clapped a bit while pouring himself a glass of wine, "Want some
my lord? This victory is pretty much set in stone for us now."
Luther nodded bowing despite the order being directed to Soros,
"I'll call some of our reserves over today. Just give me half an
hour to find the best candidates."
She started tilting her head as she stared off to think, "Well... I
don't know what he looks like. I don't even know their name!"
Cheshire laughed before having a sudden realization. "Oh! He
responded saying," she would then deepen her voice as to imitate
the person, "'I'm Hadrian' s butler! I just happen to help organize
his schedule!'"
Cheshire paused again, speaking normally, "Actually, it was along
those lines, but he did basically call himself a secretary."
"Wait you mean Gaz?" Sonya asked before reaching into her candy bag
to calm her nerves. What would Dakota do? Think like Dakota? He was
fast indeed but no where near as strong or dumb as the page
described them. Could it be the book was wrong? Or maybe Gaz was
different. Then again it could be completely unrelated to Gaz.
Yurei had just been in his room for a
while, waiting for some kind of news to reach him. Only poking his
head out to grab tea and biscuits, he drew and read a lot in his
room. Yoni had been lacking energy since the day he first awakened,
sleeping way more often and being touchy when Yurei asked if he was
okay.
"Oh? Him? I forgot he worked here... I don't see him around as
often as I see you, Rose, Camelot, and that new Liliana person,"
Cheshire answered. She heard the rustling of Sonya's bag of candy.
Immediately, Cheshire reached a palm out as she eyed the candy,
"Can I have some? Please?"
Soros clicked his tongue grinning, "It's good Luther. Why don't you
take a rare day off---" he meant rare, "and I'll organize the
troops. I want you on evening guard either way."
"I only know two of the attackers. One was a butler who used simple
hand-to-hand melee weapons. No special powers. The other---" Soros
shuddered, "She could possess people and objects--become them. I'm
not going into the details of how I know that."
Giving up and getting somewhat bored
because Yoni was still asleep, he trotted downstairs and hovered in
the kitchen for a bit. He looked around for anyone to hell him what
he'd missed.
Hikari runs by where Soros is, and waits for him to be done before
speaking to Soros

"you were too correct"
"O-oh. Sure." He says to Fernando,
thinking how strange this was to him. He checked briefly if Yoni
was awake, but when he realised he wasn't, Yurei gave him a poke on
the cheek, just in case this was important.
Roxanne smiled when she reached the barn. She sat with the animals,
wondering where her siblings were. Then, one of the sheep told her
about what they heard from the birds about the fight. Roxanne's
expression changed from a smile to a scared look. She wondered more
now where all her siblings were and if they were alright.
Sonya nodded grabbing some gummy worms and handing the Cheshire
before taking a few for herself, "I'll need to get more soon. My
bag is starting to run out."
"What is it my lord?" Luther asked quickly going over to the king's
side to see what he was looking at hoping it was nothing too big.
They had enough to deal with already.
