Provas smirked and disappeared into the Palace. Inside, the others waited for him. He sat down onto his throne and watched as the twins emerged from the floor before him in a bowing stance. Like usual, the twins spoke in unison. "They will be in the Palace shortly, my lord. The loft entrance has been emptied of servants and anything that's even worth anything. As a precaution, Liry and Piry are sitting on the 5th floor balcony that overlooks the whole atrium loft. Kriole and Leo are dying to take the first fight, so they're waiting at the front door. Everyone else is going to be with them as well. We'll run along the walls and wait above the doors. This fight will not require you, sire." Provas grinned maliciously, "Indeed. You are my prized children. You have all done well to replace your predecessors as my personal guard. I am proud of all of you, especially since you are all only 15 and 16 years old and you have all surpassed those useless guards I had prior." The twins bowed even lower, "Thank you... Father."
Korius broke free and dodged around the lightning bolts. During his quick exit, he grabbed White by the cloak and hightailed it out of the storm, tackling Kiana out of the way of the final bolt before the storm died off. Breathing heavily, Korius got up and drew out the twin sai. "Let's go, you guys. We have to keep moving. That's them telling us that they're not going to let us rest up." Korius walked up to the front entrance with the group and flung the doors wide open.
Immediately, Kriole and Leo fired large fireballs at Korius. Korius blocked with the twin sai and he jumped up, expecting another volley to be shot at him.
