Avary heard this as well and started breathing quickly. But he tried to hide it with false confidence.

Amalia recognized the signs of when Avary began to get anxious. She always had. She took his hand and gave it a light squeeze, using the other to pull back the tapestry.

This helped calm him down slightly. He stood complacently while she pulled the tapestry.

Amelia stepped into the dark tunnel. She held out her hand for Avary to grab.

@Overlord24

@canaryrose
Avary grabbed her hand, a litle embarrassed, and followed her through the tunnel.

Amalia began descending the steep stairway, fumbling for the wall and the steps. It was pitch dark in the tunnels, black as a moonless night. A spider scuttled across her hand and she shrieked.

@canaryrose
Avary flinched when she screamed. He had decent night vision and was able to see a little bit.

Levi woke up to see a maid tending to his wounds using magic. He got up. He was in working order. "Many thanks. If you would like safe passage, I know a secret tunnel we could use to escape. My siblings are most likely there." Without waiting for an answer, he tore past the castle gates and down the halls, eventually ending up at his mother's room. He took a second to rest.

Amalia's night vision was not decent whatsoever. She had never been able to see in the dark, so all she was pitch-black. "Sorry." she whispered to Avary, her voice echoing in the chasm. "It was- it was just a spider." she said this last part with such fear and shivered.

@Overlord24

Elizabeth went to find the king.

@canaryrose@DriveEMOut
"It's OK. Hey, do you hear something from mother's room?" He asked her.

Amalia listened a bit closer- and found that she did hear something from the room above. She swore aloud, using the dirtiest word she had ever learned. She dragged Avary, Harold, and herself into a small, hidden niche in the tunnel, making sure that they were safely hidden from whoever might be up there.

@Overlord24

@canaryrose
Avary gasped a little, he had never heard Amalia swear. He followed her into the niche and held his breath. His eyes were alight with fear and he was thinking about every bad thing that could happen then.

Levi burst through the tapestry. "Brother? Sister? Are you there? It's Levi." He drew his broadsword and prepared to fight if necessary.
@Overlord24@canaryrose

@DriveEMOut@canaryrose
He nudged Amalia. "It's Levi." He said, then scrambled to hide his amulet before Levi saw.

Amalia stayed hidden. she knew that it was Levi, she heard his voice, but it could be a trap. They could be forcing Levi to ask for them. She held her breath, covering Avary's mouth to quiet him.

Avary saw her hesitation and didn't move. It might even be Dante using magic to change his voice.

She shifted a bit and the bells on her skirt jingled a bit, and she cursed in her head.

@Overlord24@DriveEMOut

@DriveEMOut@canaryrose
Avary sucked in a breath, waiting for the inevitable.

Cyrus grove Enson, King of Woodgrove

@Overlord24@DriveEMOut@Nikki Moonlight@Eviledd1984@canaryrose

The mysterious army was starting to fan out around his castle. Some were jumping over the fence and starting to rush for him with their swords drawn. Two men in particular rush forward with dark smiles plastered on their faces.

Cyrus ducks as one of the armored men slashed at his head, making a cut above his eyebrow. He quickly backs up and moves his sword Dumort to be in front of him as blood begins to drip down his face.

The two men run forward at the same time, which is a big mistake. Cyrus bolts forward and slashes once with his sword. The two men stop sudenly and their swords clatter to the stone floor of the garden.

A burst of light comes from them and their blood and meat fly in each direction as their guts fall out of their stomachs. The blood starts to pool around their bodies quickly meeting Cyrus' boots.

Cyrus looks to Dante and points his bloodied sword to his heart. Cyrus then says in dark town, "Let's dance little lord, or does war frighten you?"

Cyrus completely forgot about the person in black Dante had called out. The mysterious person had a woman build and she was completely dressed in black.

Catherine Lillasteen, the Assasin

@Overlord24@DriveEMOut@canaryrose

Catherin watched Cyrus destroy two men in a burst of light, sending a dark smile to her lips which was concealed by black cloth. It was quite a sight to see the King fight with his legendary sword, Dumort. She had heard many stories of the sword and that is had conquered the underworld and brought light to the Kingdoms. But when you saw it in action it blew your mind. Literally.

He almost always had that damned sword next to him so every assassin that tried to kill him were blown to cat food. Who was this Dante anyway? He must have some fucking good way to live from a strike of the king's sword to run in here.

But anyways Catherine had other things to do then watch a man blow to best by the hand of the king. She flicked her eyes to scan near the wall and spots Prince Levi and a maid.

Why not have some fun of her own, thought Catherin as she streched her arms over her head and stood up. Catherin quickly jumps on top of the fence from the tree she was perched on and lands on the stone ground.

She hisses with the impact of the stone but continues to run silently towards the pair. Before she get there Levi sets up and runs towards the castle.

Catherine then growls and follows the Prince to the tapestry. He burst though it which gives Catherine the time to attack.

She quickly passes through the doors and drags her long dagger out of her boot pocket and brings it to rest at his neck with her other arm resting at the back of his head.

Her hood still conceals her face as she hisses into his ear, "Hello there Princeling. I'm terribly sorry to intrude." Her dagger begins to dig into the soft skin underneath.

She then hears a jungle and a breath being taking in sharply. "If your hiding you better come out or I'll slit Prince Levi's thorough!" Her voice seemed to get darker at every word, but it was true. She would.
