As the green smoke subsided; the questions started to fly; the council members were fascinated with the magical prowess of Balin as well as the vanishing act they had just seen. Sargon stood in front of his throne, leaning over the edge toward where his son had just vanished.
"Where are they?" asked Arnol the cyborg.
"They're gone?!" Caleb the Reindeer yelled.
All the council members were asking questions and Sargon did not have a single answer for even one of them. Disappointed he shut his eyes and tried to fixate on Dietrich.
‘That monster has Dietrich’ the Emperor thought annoyed with the sheer strength Balin had demonstrated on the council and himself. His mind was clouded with fears and doubts making it difficult to communicate through their line.
“They couldn’t have gotten far.” Whispered Sargon, he pulled out his dagger and started down the steps towards his private study.
