She patted the side of his neck gently, the warhorse whinnying pleasantly as he walked. She was sort of nervous without Gracie here. Valora, Prescott, and Tripp were the only ones she decided to take with her, leaving Kinsey behind with the others. Nothing was likely going to happen, but she couldn't help but to feel anxious as always. She glanced over to Valora who was walking some distance in front of her. Tripp and Prescott were walking alongside her, chatting back and forth occasionally. After traveling for a few hours, the small group was eager for a small break and it finally came in the way of them reaching their destination. The large hill in the distance had a large, old gate set into it. The gate was flanked by two large statues of eagles, one of which had collapsed with age. As Izzy dismounted Turnip, she frowned lightly, a small chill of excitement running up her spine. [b]"Princess,"[/b] Valora said. [b]"Don't get distracted now."[/b] Isabella nodded quietly, taking her eyes of the old statues. The king hadn't really given them a solid objective aside from simply scouring the ruins to find some instrument that may or may not be there. Not something that would easily be done. Isabella walked over to the large stone gate, Valora staring up at them and contemplating. [b]"Looks like nothing we've seen inside the Monarchy."[/b] Prescott said curiously. [b]"How old you think it is?"[/b] [b]"Does it matter? Lets just get it over with. Old places like these are probably crawling with foul spirits."[/b] [b]"Yes yes, but think about what adventures and things could be had-"[/b] [b]"Alright, that's enough you two, help me see if we can get this gate open."[/b] Valora interrupted their little conversation as the trio walked over to the gate and attempted to open it.
