Charm & Trickery

"… You caught all that?" My father asked us, and the girls and I nodded.

We hid a couple of meters away, just barely within earshot of the two demon guards. Those who could use Shadow Magic used invisibility, while those who didn't used the Cloaks of Invisibility we had. It was clear—the city of Nazeroth was hiding something. A something that recently occurred in the city, and required such confidentiality.

"… So? What's the plan now?" Yu An Yan asked.

"I can charm the guards to let us in, but…" Eve began, trailing off.

"… It will not be enough, if we want to get all of us inside the city," I replied. "In other words, we can only have… maybe four people maximum."

Nael nodded. "Lady Eve must be one of them, I will be another as the guide, and…"

"Kai Kai and I will be the last two," my father said. "Everyone else, it'd be best if you retreated to the plane for now."
