Held by Darkness [Rainbow Quest AU]

Ch. 10: Visiting a 'friend'

There's loads of guards around the entrance.

I walk inside along with the others and we reach a cavern with a throne inside.

"hello again, yellow king! :D" happy orange steve greets the glowing yellow steve.

Woah... That guy really must be powerful...

He's quite literally glowing!

Hm... Neat. The nightmare King only has a faint glow, barely noticible.
-while this guy! He's a lamp!!! :0

... What would he look like if he were corrupted???

Would the guy still glow??????

Hmmmmmmmmmm

We'll find out soon :)

"hello orange, happy orange and funny orange-and... A new guest?" the king says in surprise when he sees me.

"yep, yellow king, this is sabre, he's our friend. :)" orange introduces me

Mm should I be respectful and do a formal greeting??? The others didn't...

Mmmmmm I won't....? Maybe I should...

"hello true yellow king, I'm sabre. It's... Wonderful to meet you." I chose to do a greeting that is relatively respectful but doesn't require too big words.

"hello sabre, it's wonderful to meet you." the King smiles as he greets me.

The King seems nice... But... His assisstant....

His assisstant is giving me a death glare.

':l

Can he tell that I'm planning something...?

Hm... Maybe that's just his normal face.

Maybe I'm overreacting.

I should calm down.

"well, I'm guessing you're all here for those scouts." the king musters as he gets up from his seat.

"yeah, we know why they're here in the first place." happy answers.

The yellow king looks at happy intrigued.

"well, they're not here to find you nor the outpost. The nightmare King sent them out to find sabre. We don't know why.... But for some reason he's found an interest in the human." happy continues to explain.

I'm barely listening now.

I'm thinking some more about the plan...

Man. Have I ever planned something so much?

Hm... Not since my childhood.

We always planned huge adventures back then...

Then my childhood was over and I never really did anything with friends anymore...

I barely went to meet people.... Didn't go on adventures anymore...

I need to get my mind out the gutter.

I shift my attention back to what the others are saying.

Ah... Happy is still explaining.

And the assisstant is still giving me a death glare.

Welp... That's probably his resting face.

Meh.

Finally the king takes us somewhere.

I follow the others suit.

We walk to a building at the back of the outpost.

Huh... It looks a little like a small dome.
