Summary: Jono is on a mission.

Rituals

Various slaves and servants jumped out of the way as Jono rushed down the palace corridors. Some of them were in such a hurry to not get stampeded that they accidentally knocked themselves out when they hit walls or pillars. Jono did not notice any of this, though. He was too late to give any attention to civilian casualties.

One would have to wonder why no one had thought about clearing the way between Jono's guard post and the conference hall, especially since Jono had probably been the last one in the entire palace to find out about his need to be in the conference hall.

It had become customary, almost a ritual even, of Jono to leave everything he had been doing in order to bolt down the corridors on top speed. It happened every single time when a certain piece of news was passed down between the servants of the palace. But this time the news had taken longer than usual to reach Jono, thanks to the fact that the blond had been assigned to the guard post in the farthest corner of the palace.

When Jono finally arrived at the conference hall doors, the two guards standing there automatically made a clear way for the blond. It was a clear sign of the two having been expecting Jono to come, an event that made Jono's mission a lot easier since now he would not have to worry about gaining access to the room the two were guarding. Jono went inside.

There were two people in the room, only one besides the pharaoh sitting on his throne. Jono ran across the room, headed straight for the man standing in front of the throne. As expected, the brown-haired man turned around to face Jono even if it was only moments before the blond hit him. Throwing his arms around the man's shoulders Jono sent them both tumbling to the floor.

It was always so much fun when Set returned from a mission.
