Okay, I promise this is going to be the last filler chapter!

The next chapter will have ACTION, DRAMA, and another MEAN CLIFFHANGER! (^.^)

The Hobby Room (Arias POV)

We cook our food quickly so that we can focus on setting up a plan. Buk drew a map of the palace, 'cause before he became a guard he was a construction worker. He has memorized every entrance inside the palace and the guards' section.

"I think the best way to get in, is by the servent entrance. There is less surveillance than the main entrance", suggest Buk and points at the map. I put my hand under my chin. "It is a pretty good idea Buk, but you know that they ask for your name, occupation, or task."

"Then we might as well build a giant tree horse and let them carry us inside", laughs Samitos and slaps his knee. We all glare at Samitos with a face that says "really". He coughs and pretends he didn't say anything. We state our ideas and which we think is the best one.

I think Buks idea was the best but we need to think a way to deal with the difficulties. Boreas face light up and he takes a quill and put it in the ink. He writes: Buk plan is great but to make it work we must get a "job" and that job must send us on a mission to the palace.

"Boreas is right, if we want to get inside we must show the guards that we have an important task to fulfill." Now Samitos stands up, looking far more serious than before. "I know where we can get a task like that...but you won't like it."

I, Boreas, and Buk now nervously glance at each other.

The Black Market (Arias POV)

How could Samitos have contacts in the black market!? It not just stupid but dangerous for his and Boreas' safety. Speaking of Boreas he is trying to blend in, in the crowd. He wears a hood to cover his face. 'Cause if anyone here recognizes him they will tear him apart and want to collect a reward.

"In here", says Samitos and opens a door. We go inside and get in a little room where an average long man sits and plays the flute. He studies us and his gaze stops when he sees Samitos. He slowly stands up and walks toward him. I and Boreas is prepared to fight.

"Samitos, long time no see." The man says, he launches toward Samitos and I was about to react when I saw that they hugged eat other...?

Samitos smiles at him and hugs back" Hi Jazon! (Jazz)." Jazon goes to sit on his chair again and asks if we want his help. "Yes, in fact, we do. We need your help to get us into the palace unnoticed and with a task to fulfill." He nods his head in response.

"Peace of cake but I must warn you." Jazon pulls down Boreas hood and he freezes. "It isn't going to be easy for this guy." But then he says he can fix that too, Jazon goes to a locker and gives us four wigs. We get the opponent if our natural hair colors except for Buk. Blond hair doesn't really fit with dark skin.

He then gives us a map and points to the nearest dock. "I just happened to stumble upon that a ship needs some folks to transport food to the palace. That job is as good as yours." I nod as thanks and we all hurry to the dock

Rachal's care center and pharmacy (Rachals POV)

I take a closer look at the liquid in the cup I found in Boreas cell. The guard said that Boreas drank the drink and nothing happened. But after the last visit, he wriggled on the floor and appeared to be in a lot of pain.

I search in my bookshelves for a book about liquids that have been outlawed. I turn the pages and compare all pictures to the drink in the cup. It looks like a normal glass of water but it's not entirely the same. "Aha!" Yes found it, but I gasp in horror as I read about its effect on the human body.

Something went wrong under its creation, it developed one side effect that was so overwhelming; your ability to use your vocal cords is completely eliminated! Maybe that's why Boreas was so devastated and couldn't speak to me.

"Who would do such a thing!?"

"Do what?", I hear a young voice say. I see that it is. Huh. Kyros, what does he want now another stan remover? I stare and glare back at the book. "Eeeh- nothing I was just reading...Eeh...something interesting."

Kyros has his hands crossed across his chest and he is leaning against the opening. "Aha..." I ask him what he wants help with today and he says he just wants some scrolls to his studies in medicine and first aid.

As I take some useful scrolls of my shelve I glance back at the failed medicine at my table. "So how goes your education? Which grade are you?" Kyros says it goes fine and that he is in grade 7 he got 3 grades left. "Do you know what this flower does?", I wonder and show him a picture of the poisonous flower from Boreas' trial.

He doesn't flinch a bit. "No, I've never seen it before."

I give him the scrolls and smiles. "Good luck!"

After he left, I start to read through the book to see if I can find anything to cure Boreas. I read the text again and It feels like I'm going to faint as I read the last row.

"It existing no antidote to this particular drink." I sit on my chair, hiding my head in my hands and sights. "I can't help Boreas. I'm useless..."

No Ratchet don't say that! :,(
