The moment the gentlemen came up to meet the girls they followed a new route under the First Dam to the underground bridge of the Second Dam and across through the magic barrier. With the Karayan holding the stone ahead of him in some thick black fabric pulled from his own clothing, Karani and Damara walked right behind with Jarl behind them, Ling and Alard behind him and Anouk right at the back of the queue with the guard. Yeruell met them at the great metal door and gently opened it to allow them in, only to try and pull a grimace into a smile as the stone was introduced to him within the grasp of the Karayan’s talons. It was obvious he had no love in the sight of a foreigner’s claws about such a sacred item, but it was clear he was communicating with the king mentally and stretched his hand out to touch the Karayan’s shoulder, only to pull his hand away at the sight of the shroud writhing.

“His majesty thanks your loyal actions, Lord Karayan and the fact you protected all within your party and revealed traitors. The king is waiting to meet you all within the council chambers, so I request you follow me and prepare for the adoration of the people.” Yeruell’s usually deep and wonderful voice was broken as if he were holding back his rage but the Karayan bowed his head in response and paced beside him. The Core were waiting on the other side to line up alongside the group and escort them through and straightaway the sight of Droy and Martum almost made Damara squeal in delight, except for the stern determination upon their faces.

She and Karani had to hold in their excitement greatly as they marched between the shadows and realised that they were being led out in order of praise with Anouk at the back to take the least amount. The pair grasped hands and grinned vividly at each other as they thought over what kind of adoration would be given to them. It barely went passed their minds that such adoration and celebration was being arranged within two hours of their return to the kingdom. To Anouk, who knew how such things were usually run, there was haste to this celebration that hinted someone higher up had been involved in releasing Damara and Karani to the swamp… and it would not have been just Lutas.

Those thoughts caused the red head to grind her teeth together in frustration as she made sure her hair was tucked beneath her new white hood and Ling had done the same. Karani and Damara were wearing the white robes of the priests to show their importance and holiness in finding the stone. Anouk grumbled to herself softly in thought as she considered what was going to happen next and how this party would not be to her pleasure and unnecessary. Having a party just before they could be attacked by a massive army of demons was not a valuable use of their time….
