The group was escorted, an surprisingly, no other guards had come. besides the one that took the rear. It seemed that the SeaWings were kind of trusting towards them as of now. . .which was strange to Audio.
I mean, why would we run? Where could we run?
He thought of it every once and a while in the somewhere around twenty minute walk. They were brought to a fine oak looking door, and once opened revealed a. . .cave. That was all it was, a cave, grey stone walls and everything, with maybe a few diorite and granite chunks in the sides every few inches.
I mean, atleast it's large, Audio had thought
"This shall be where you remain during your stay" the guard said as Glory stepped in, "And considering how the queen hasn't ordered to keep you in here, just talk to Mollusk here and he'll guide atleast three of you at a time somewhere".
Another nervous came from the light green SeaWing, "I-I mean, you'll help out, right?"
The taller, more armored glanced at him, ". . .I'm guarding them, your lucky I'm even letting you escort them where ever".
Glory looked at the two guards, with slight interest. Though, the two had closed the door behind them, and likely stood on the sides. . .like guards.
"Well," Starflight said after a moment's silence, he looked around, ". . .it's not too bad".
"Yeah. . .too bad were not too far from the that screaming SeaWing," Clay contributed.
"Heh, yeah. . .wait, what?" Audio turned to the MudWing in confusion, and so did everyone else beside from Lilac, who instead looked at them all in confusion.
". . .none of you heard him?"
Sunny had shook her head, "No, not at all! Where was that, Clay?" Instantly after, Lilac squeeked, "I did! He was loud. . ."
"I mean, I'll admit, it was probably hard to see and you probably didn't notice- but, there was some vibrant blue SeaWing being taken by some soldiers into some building. . .which I oddly think it was a prison or something".
A snort came from Glory, "Really? What makes you say that?"
Then a snort came from Clay, "I don't know, maybe all of the more heavily armored guards that stood on the outside?"
Starflight nodded slowly, ". . .that- well, doesn't sound fun".
Glory had sighed as she leaned back against the wall, "Not our problem, whatever they did, they shouldn't have".
Audio had nodded in agreement, and had simply stood where he was as the five slowly dispersed. Lilac and Starflight drifted to the far end, with Clay following the two. Sunny took the MimicWing's side as they just sat and looked around every so often.
". . .it's kind of awkward. . .or, odd in here," the SandWing to his side spoke softly.
"Yeah. . .I mean, what do you want to talk about?"
A sigh came as she shrugged slightly, "Nothing important. . .what do you think of this Summer Palace?"
Audio brought a talon to his chin, "Hm. Well, it's gorgeous, a beautiful place," his eyes shifted to the door behind the two, ". . .though, it feels limited. Some of the SeaWings just seem tense. Mollusk could be a good example, he's just worried- he's extremely nervous. . .likely about us."
Sunny had glanced away, "I find it odd how they don't question you and Lilac. . .not that it's a bad thing".
The grey dragonet had just realised that. The thought hadn't come to mind at a anytime, "You know, that is strange". He saw Lilac listen to Starflight speak, something about Blister.
Glory suddenly came infront of the two, "You know- that prison place sounds interesting. I'm probably going to ask Mollusk if any interaction with the place. . .any of you want to come with?"
Audio glanced at Sunny, who had shook her head, "I'll be alright, thank for the offer".
"Well, I'll go".
The RainWing nodded to him, "Alright- I guess it's just us two".
She instantly knocked on the door to the side, inwhich it was slightly cracked, "Oh, um, yes?" Mollusk's voice came.
"Is there a prison here? Did we walk past it? If so, can we interact with it in any way? Maybe like looking at prisoners. . .I don't know".
There was a quick silence before the guard continued, "Umm. . .well, yes. Queen C-Coral isn't strict about visitation rights. . ."
There was another silence, which became slightly awkward. Glory huffed, "Well? Aren't you going to take us?"
"Oh, um, yes," The SeaWing fully opened the door, in which the two "guests" walked out.
"Sorry, ma'am," Mollusk had said.
It didn't take long to make it there. As they walked closer to the entrance, they grabbed more suspicious and alert looks and stares. . .even a few smiles.
Audio and Glory were guided into the building, which was the inside seemed to be quite large. The two were taken through about two more pairs of doors, and infront of them lay a hall of cells.
Contrasting from the average human prison, it was actually pretty quiet. Either inmates talked to eachother without yelling, or no noise escaped anybody.
"S-so, here it is. . .I mean, do you want me to take you to recent a-arrests?" Mollusk had stammered.
"Please do. . .that sounds interesting," Audio had responded, a hint of random pity hidden within his voice. They we're guided down the hall, and had to go down a flight of stairs, which was guarded by four spear armed SeaWings, who didn't show any emotion once seeing the two.
"We have about four floors of cells, but, crime rate within the palace or kingdom entirely isn't c-common", Mollusk explained as they walked further in the second hall. They stopped when they reached a segment with one cell filled. . .the foward ones being emptied.
"S-so, look around if you want, just please d-don't get into any trouble in here".
"No worries, already done" Glory had said, "We're trustworthy if we can trust you. . .which you appear to be fine".
The two had walked about as the guard watched them with obvious nervousness. They made it about ten meters before Audio heard something that peaked his interest. . .crying.
He turn to his left to see a blue SeaWing- a vibrant one, facing the wall in the back of his cell. Is this the one Clay mentioned? That was. . .quick.
"This one seems to be mentally deranged," Glory said to the MimicWing. She walked towards the bars, standing about a foot away from it, her faced filled with confusion. . .and slight horror.
". . .Glory?" Audio asked, in which she turned to him.
"Listen to this", she pulled him closer to the cell, and the grey dragonet payed full attention to faint whispers from the SeaWing.
He then heard it, and he basically had the same face.
"I killed so m-many" the dragon had whispered to himself, likely unaware of the tiny audience behind him, ". . .w-why. . .did I do t-this?"
The two looked at eachother.
"Alrighty. . .holy shit," Audio had spoke in shock, "now, I can turn that into a holy fuck- I know who we can get inorder to figure out what this guy is talking about".
Glory tilted her head, "And that may be. . ?"
There was a sigh that came from the MimicWing, but he straightend up, "The person we need is a SeaWing named Turtle. . .
. . .Prince Turtle".
Sorry for inconsistant updates, I just really write whenever.
