Notes

A hand on Elliot's back pulled Elliot out of his thoughts. He took a deep inhale and glanced at Lance who had a concerned look. If the woman was telling the truth, then this man would not be Malice's end.

It was Elliot.

He recomposed himself and gave the gem to Barbara. "Here, it's all fixed."

Barbara shot him a concerned look but dismissed her thoughts. She took the gem and placed it back on the frame. "I have to clean this frame and hide this gem in my office. You should just make yourself comfortable while I do that."

When Barabara left, Dante took everyone's attention. "Our first order of business is get inside the castle. Trick will help us but he cannot guarantee our concealed presence so you have to listen to him at all times."

"When you're inside the castle, do not leave my mist," Trick said. "I have allies inside the castle, but not all of us are allies. Some of us will alert Malice the moment that they find us."
