The castle was unlike anything Nolan had seen in his life.

It was fancy and pristine, everything his small town by the dock was not. If they hadn't been dragged in by murderous villains, he would have liked to come as a tourist and would have oohed and ahhed over everything. Eventually they reached King Fenn and he asked them to join in. Nolan raised an eyebrow as his gaze fell on their captain's signal. She refused and after King Fenn's angry outburst yelled out for them to take action.

"Aye, aye Captain!" Nolan pulled his rifle out from over his shoulder, and while he was scared, he was doing a pretty darn good job at hiding it. "Haru, I'll cover you, lead on." It was a good thing Kai was with them, that was a comforting thought. "Stay safe captain!" He called out before dashing down the hall after both Haru and Kai. The latter dispatched pirates left and right. He was like a well oiled machine! Nolan would need to ask for lessons some time, it could pretty much be the difference between life and death for him later on. "I'm right behind you!" He called out in response to Kai's call.

A pirate lurched towards him but the cook quickly pushed him back by slamming the butt of his rifle into the man's face. He fell to the floor with a thud, both hands clasping a now bleeding nose. Nolan could have sworn he heard a crack.

They followed after Haru down a hall that led deeper into the castle. Eventually, Haru led them towards a door. It was baricaded shut and two pirates stood guard. Upon noticing the trio their eyes went wide. Nolan's expression mimicked their own, they were running so fast that there wouldn't be time to just stop or turn around. He was no good at fighting but he was pretty strong from working his parent's vineyard. He charged towards one of the pirate and slammed his shoulder into the man's face. The pirate hit his head on the door's wooden frame and sunk to the ground in a daze.

When the cook spun around the other guard punched him the face and he almost crashed into Haru. He could hear Haru talking about how the royal family was locked up inside but he was too busy seeing stars to really comprehend much.
