Chapter 6: The Budder Castle
"Alright. I've grabbed supplies in case we're away for a while. And I grabbed you a sword Nicki." Whitney explained, handing a butter sword to Nicki. "Thanks. Did you grab any diamond ones by any chance?" Nicki asked. "Yup. I have two." Whitney answered. "Can I have one as a spare?" Nicki asked. Whitney sighed and pulled out a diamond sword. "Here" She said, handing Nicki the turquoise sword. "Thanks." Nicki responded, taking it from her. "Let's get going."
The group exited the house and left Whitney, taking one last glimpse of the house before turning and leaving. She was leaving the place she loved so dearly, but she had to go. For the sake of the Sky Army. When they neared the huge palace, they stopped and looked around. The dead bodies of both squids and recruits were everywhere. The ripe stench was sour and unbearable. As Whitney looked around, she saw some familiar recruits she saw everyday growing up. Even though it was very sad, she didn't show tears. Because she needed to be brave for this adventure, or at least try.
"Alright, let's go." Whitney said suddenly. She started walking up the shimmering stairs and everyone followed after her. She stopped when a pressure plate stood in front of an iron door. "No doubt this will scan us and make sure we are a threat or not." Twilight examined. Whitney stepped on the pressure plate and felt a slight shock. Then she heard a robotic voice say: "Name: Whitney, Age 13, Race: Human, Member of the Sky Army. New entry saved." The iron door then opened. Whitney stared at it cautiously and stepped inside slowly.
When the others went through, they stared in amazement. Luxurious chandeliers hung from the ceilings and the room shimmered in a beautiful yellow light. This lobby was, no doubt, grander than any palace in the entire world. Whitney, distracted by the beauty for only a moment, looked around and saw for hallways and signs leading to where they go. "We should split up." She said suddenly. "I'll go to the dorms." She pointed to hall which lead to the dorms.
