Viola nodded. Mordecai helped her stand and she led the way to her workshop. They walked for quite a while and by pure miracle, there were no monsters on the way.
They finally made it to the workshop and saw two men standing in front of it. The men were Prince Matthew and Prince Henry.
Prince Henry and Prince Matthew stared at Viola and Mordecai who completely ignored them. They decided to introduce themselves.
"Hello...civilian. My name is Matthew and this is my brother Henry. "
Viola stared at both of them while Mordecai said nothing.
"We know who you are. What we don't know is what you're doing standing outside my workshop. Shouldn't you be at the castle? " said Viola.
"That's...a very...complicated question. But, I was hoping we could find shelter at your workshop."
"Suit yourselves, I just hope its not too uncomfortable for you."
They all went into the workshop with Viola leading the way while, Mordecai and the princes followed.
"Where are we going exactly?" Henry finally spoke up.
"The cellar or as I like to call it the 'safe house'. My parents built it, you know in case we were ever robbed or war broke out. Me and my sister would just hide out in the cellar till it's over and no one would ever find us." Viola said.
"Wow! your parents must have been very smart people. Where are they?" Matthew asked.
"They're dead " She said flatly.
"Oh...I'm not sorry. I had no idea." Matthew tried to apologise but was rudely cut off by Viola.
"It's fine ."
Matthew kept his mouth shut and continued following Viola. She was suddenly stopped by Mordecai.
"Shhh!" He shushed her, putting a finger to his lips.
"What?" Viola asked.
"It's here, I can sense it."
"What's here?" Henry asked curiously.
Mordecai ignored him and crept around the workshop. He ducked under a table which had tools on it and the others did the same, mimicking his actions.
"That!" he whispered while pointing to the creature.
