Bone Breaking

The father and son duo's faces flashed a dark shadow as they acutely sensed the gaze on the two guards change, going from angry at being disobeyed to intrigued and then enlightened.

With one of them making the hypothesis that they might be the 'one', the other soon began to make the connection too.

And as more and more of the relayed description began to match, their heart gave a cartwheel.

They could not believe the fish they had just caught. Such luck!

A huge bonus was bound to be in store from their boss for this great find.

Thus the two men's eyes began to blaze as they greedily stared at the pair.

While facing this dilemma, Lord Cassius's initial instinct was to start running.

In fact, this might have gone beyond optimism and entered the realm of miracles.
