ROOOOOOOAAAAAARRRR!!!
Oli's silence and Korvik's eagerness were drowned out by a sudden roar from inside the palace. And before anyone could look and see what was happening, a booming, unfamiliar voice shouted from the palace as well.
"LORD TREEDA!!!"
A deep tone of concern and desperation echoed through that voice. And the moment the crowd spotted the emerging figure come rushing out of the hallway was when everyone lost control of their thoughts.
"Ootrak?!"
Flapping his wings, the rushing Toxic-shadow Dragon charged the viewing platform below. He then humbly perched himself on the edge and bowed his head. "Mother, Father, we're under attack!"
"WHAT?!"
"We're unsure who the perpetrator is but they've arrived and demanded to challenge the prefecture seat," explained the Ootrak. "When we tried to question the challenger or explain your absence, he seemed reasonable at first. But when you didn't return at the expected time, he attacked without warning."
