Returning home (part two)

Ariadne arrived at the gates of the palace with her army. They had left the horses in the forest as to not attract attention upon arrival. But despite that Kethra had taken measures to stop them from getting into the palace.

She had the best female warriors posted everywhere in the palace. The walls of the gates were flooding with them.

"That witch isn't playing around, she truly wants to fight," Raya stated.

Ariadne couldn't help but smile at the name she used to refer to her half-sister. She was indeed a witch that had to be stopped. If she was kind, she might even burn her at the stake rather than torture her in a deep dark corner for eternity.

Where she would never see the light of day again. And not get anyone to save her since no one would even know that she is there. It would be entertaining to watch her scream for help and beg for mercy at her feet.
