Thesmeris Royal Castle,
The corridors beneath the Thesmeris royal castle were dim and silent.
Stone walls stretched endlessly on both sides, lit only by flickering torches that cast long, shifting shadows. The sound of armored footsteps echoed through the passage as three knights walked forward in steady pace.
Their helmets covered their faces completely.
No words.
Just movement.
They reached the end of the corridor and pushed open a heavy door.
Bright light hit them.
They stepped out—
At the rear side of the royal castle.
Above, armed soldiers stood along the walls, watching over the surroundings. The atmosphere was tense, even here. Security had been tightened everywhere.
The three knights didn't stop.
They moved forward.
Ahead of them stood a platform—one that connected upward to the floating royal city of Glimmereach. Two guards were stationed beside it, watching closely.
The knights approached.
"We want to go up," one of them said.
