"Why do we have to go through that sketchy place?" Osbert asked, looking at the darkness in front of him.
"This is the way to the palace." Jel grinned at the man, pulling him to the darkness. "Don't worry, it does not hurt at all."
"Wait, it is supposed to hurt??" Osbert asked but he was not quick enough as he was pulled through the darkness by Jel without another warning.
He closed his eyes shut as he felt them passing something and then opened it again when Jel tapped on his arm without saying another word.
"Huh? That wasn't that bad." He said, opening his eyes to see the number of people in front of him before sighing more so to himself than to anyone else. "I suppose I stand corrected."
All around him were people with blades pointed towards the two, glaring at them.
"Jel, what is this? Why are they pointing their weapons at us?" He asked, looking at the sheepish man, scratching the back of his head.
