   [color=ed1c24] "Yes, well..."[/color] Tornel said as he took the parcel from Stephanie. Suddenly he dropped it, surprised by its heft. [color=ed1c24]"My God girl! How have you handled such a ridiculously heavy thing! This will not due, not due at all, no weapon could possibly be so.. unwieldy."[/color] He picked up the item with two hands and handed it over to Peter. [color=ed1c24]"Take this servant, we'll examine it later."[/color]

    [color=DarkGray]"Y... yes sir."[/color] Peter said, reverently taking the wrapped package from the Fire Mage and grunting from the weight. 

     He put his hands together and leaned towards Stephanie, *BOOM!!!* loud impact rocked the underground chamber as if on cue.[color=ed1c24] "So, Steph, you are to be brought to the King for an immediate audience. An Oracle coming to life well that's... that's the most significant event of the last decade!"[/color] He turned and led the other two up the stone staircase, another loud boom shook the chamber, [color=ed1c24]"I do so apologize for the inconvenient noise, you'll never believe how frustrating a siege can be. I might have to personally intervene if the King does not send the Bandersnatch yelping back to Draygon's den."[/color] 

    The stopped at the top of the step and opened a large, oaken double door. The door opened to an ornate and gelded hallway with a polished golden floor and bright white walls. The torchlight flickered so brilliantly off the shining surface it was like walking on the surface of a diamond. There were three heavily armored guards waiting for them as they walked through the door. [color=ed1c24]"Sorry for the mess,"[/color] Tornel said, smiling venomously, [color=ed1c24]"but we don't keep the dungeons as clean as the upper floors. Please, walk this way."[/color]

    [color=DarkGray]"If this is your dungeon I can't imagine the splendor of.. ."[/color] Peter spoke, still carrying the heavy package. 

    Tornel raised his finger to silence the talk. [color=ed1c24]"No need to be distracted by the beauty of our city, we know, and you should be silent to appreciate it."[/color] Peter fell silent. 

    "Here is your room," Tonel stopped and opened the door to a room at the end of the long hall they had just walked down. The room had the shining floors, white walls, and gelding along the ceiling just like the rest of the hall. It had a large decorative rug on the floor, a single bed with an ornate quilt, a small desk with a mirror, and a wash basin and sink as well as a small enclosed area for using the toilet. [color=ed1c24]"Please, step inside, our ladies in waiting will bring you appropriate clothing for your audience with His Highness."[/color] Tornel bowed deeply and motioned them into the room. 

    As soon as Steph and Peter stepped in Tornel shut the door and they heard a loud *click* as the door was locked. [color=ed1c24]"Fools!"[/color] Tornel yelled through the doorway, [color=ed1c24]"I know you are servants of Draygon! You've fallen right into my trap!! Now stay in your room until I decide what to do with you, and don't try to pick the lock, I've booby trapped the door so if you so much as TRY to break out it'll explode and kill you and your little underling!" [/color] Steph and Peter could hear Tornel's footsteps click on the solid floor as he walked away from their cell. 

[hider=SYNOPSIS] Oh No! you've been trapped in a cell and Tornel thinks you work for Draygon! What are you going to do? If you try to pry open the door it'll explode, dare you risk it? Of course, you could always unwrap the gift you brought from Tinkertown, Tornel didn't seem to think it was important enough to confiscate...[hider]

    The Manta Rays approached the Castle from the North. From her perch on the back of the Manta Sarah could see Bandersnatch as a little dot on the south side of the castle shooting balls of fire over the outer wall and hitting the stone of the towers. Directly underneath her she could see the top of a large square parapet lined pavilion built atop one of the towers. There were maybe twenty guards standing on the pavilion looking up at the Manta's. [color=00a651]"It appears we are expected,"[/color] Asra's voice chimed in Sarah's ear. 

    The Manta's landed and the soldiers began to unload their goods. One of them walked up to Sarah and helped her down. "Miss," he said chivalrously, "we weren't expecting a lady in attendance. Welcome, to Castle Solace! From whence do you come?"
[hr]
    King Kovar looked out the window from his study. He could hear Bandersnatch yelling a challenge. [i]Give up the Oracle and Wizard and no one has to die.[/i] Over and over again he yelled before blasting the castle again. Kovar felt sad, he didn't know what to do. There was no Oracle at the Castle, it had been sent away as a gift for some cousin or another's wedding. Tornel had told the king that they weren't valuable, just decoration. But now one of Draygon's lieutenants was banging down his door looking for one. [i]Why now?[/i] he thought, [i]why after all this time we've been left alone do they now harass us? And why do they want the Oracles?[/i] The King was at a lost. 

    The door banged loudly. "Your Highness!" A Paladin's voice called though the thick door, "The Rays from the Islands have brought their load, and they brought a passenger sir." The King motioned for his attendant to open the door. 

    When the Knight saw the King he fell to his knee. "And why is that my concern?" The King asked.

    "She has Pink hair sir," The Paladin said, looking down.

    The King stroked his long beard. He remembered that one of the Oracle renderings had pink hair, maybe the Rays had brought them a way out of this mess. "Bring her to me, and good work young Knight. What is your name?"

    "Sir Brunch, Your Highness." The knight said. He snapped up at the King's command and went to fetch the young girl to see the King. 

[hider=SYNOPSIS] Sorry, I had to write this out quick, so there may be errors. Sarah has landed at Solace and the King has requested an Audience. Not bad, waking up one day and seeing a King shortly after. You just landed, I hope you're not overwhelmed :)[/hider]
