The courtyard was noisy as guards and knight's trained. Swords clashed and armour clinked as the knights moved. Stardust Trumpeter over looked the training ground from a watch tower. It was her turn to stand watch over the kingdom. 'This is soooo boring' The trumpeter thought as she sat down on a chair. She noticed Gallatin striking a practice dummy made out of wood and straw. He moved swiftly and delivered strong and fast attacks to the dummy.
Gallatin stopped attacking when sweat was on his forehead. He noticed Stardust Trumpeter and nodded a greeting to her. He wiped the sweat off of his brow and walked towards the weapon storage. Stardust flew down to go meet him.
Katie, Nicole and Mariah all went into the mess hall and got their food. They sat down at long tables that lined the room. Mariah sat down opposite to Katie and Nicole. "This food looks ok... I guess" Nicole mumbled eating a piece of bacon. "I say its ok~" Mariah said happily between eating. Katie shrugged and began eating. "How long are we staying here?" Nicole asked. Katie rubbed her chin and replied, "Only one more day until we can get back on our feet" Mariah groaned, "No one smiles here though"
When the trio finished their breakfast they stacked their plates and exited the mess hall. As they walked they noticed that Blaster Blade was in front of them. He didn't seem to notice them as he read something that was written on a piece of parchment. 'Blaster Dark's troop has grown since the last time our spies reported. It is believed that they could attack at any moment...' Blaster Blade turned and saw the three. "Can I help you?" he asked stopping and hiding the paper behind his back. Each of them shook their heads.
"I want you three to leave as soon as possible. It's too dangerous to stay at this castle" the blue king said with a ordering tone. Katie, Nicole and Mariah all looked at each other in confusion and nodded. "We were planning on leaving today" Katie reported. Blaster Blade nodded and continued to walk. "Is there any chance you could give us a map? We were kind of robbed by bandits before we came here" Mariah asked politely. Blaster Blade raised his eyebrow and nodded. "Go ask our weapons dealer if he has one. You can find Govannon in our weapon storage.." he told them and then he left. "To the courtyard then!" Mariah said excitingly as she marched down the hallway. Mariah stopped and looked at them. "Where is the courtyard?"
