Arthur's day began as many others already have. Be rudely awoken by one of the family butlers and told he must get ready for the day ahead of him. Groggily get out of bed and dress in one of the suits, grey for today, his father had tailored for him, which he hated but had nothing else.  Spend some 'quality time with dad' as he and associates discussed finances, sales, and other menial things Arthur could care less about. Come up with an excuse to leave... and do so when they were so preoccupied anyway. This was the choice of the day, so Arthur had to make it wisely, where to go?

Today, Arthur felt it would be a good day to watch the skies. So he headed to the roof of his home. Life was simple, and his father was happy. But some stories aren't meant to remain the way they are, are they?

Arthur groaned, shifting to look at the sky over the palace.

[color=fdc68a][i]Izzy and Soph were always better at this than I am. Maybe...[/i][/color]

Arthur shook his head back and forth, returning his focus back to the skies.

[color=fdc68a][i]That was then. This is now. I'll... see... something..?[/i][/color]

Arthur's thoughts trailed off as something flew around the castle. It moved far faster than any bird Arthur knew of, and when it when it went behind one of the towers of the castle, it seemingly vanished.

[color=fdc68a][i]Okay... the Woodwraith? But... aren't those stories? I mean... well... magic can do a lot... so... if it's him... why is he here? And didn't the Storming Queen show up in town earlier this week? Something's up...[/i][/color]

Arthur nodded to himself. He was going to the palace... and somehow gaining entry. Or trespassing to figure out what's going on. Perfect plans are half-baked ones, right? Arthur dropped from rooftop to the second floor balcony and from there to the ground. He begins a trek he's taken a few times, cut a corner here, through an alleyway there, towards the palace of Azure's Gate.

[color=fdc68a][i]I can get there in about 5 minutes... I hope that they're still there when I arrive. Otherwise, I hurt my legs to— well... might keep me out of a meeting for a day or two... yeah, worth it then.[/i][/color]
