Loud, shouting coming from the window was what woke Freya up. She started on her feet as soon as her eyes shot open. Her heart raced as she tried to find what it was that woke her up.
A sudden, bright light shone through the windows for a moment, before leaving its place to the darkness of the night once more.
Freya tiptoed to the open window. She could hear the voices from below much more clearly now. A group of soldiers in uniform ran out the gates of the castle. She noticed them mount some steeds in the courtyard, but before she could take a good look at the steeds, they rode off, through the inner keep gates, along the road leading to the outer walls.
By the time they reached that gate, they had disappeared behind the numerous towers of the Yotsura residence. It was a small city, really.
