Encounter in the Misty Mountain Range

================¶¶================

Arthur left his residence in the outer court and walked deep into the sect until he arrived at the entrance of the inner court.

There, two men stood on guard and the instant Arthur came close, they spoke at the same time.

"Stop!"

Arthur didn't halt his steps, and neither did he look at them. Instead, he brought out a seal and showed them.

'Huh?!'

Both men became alarmed when they saw that seal and hurriedly bowed their heads.

"We apologize for our insolence please forgive us!" They cupped their fist.

"It's all right." Arthur did not mind as he understood that the men were just doing their job.

Although he did not care about such trivial matters many did and if they were in his shoes, with that seal in hand, they would have punished those men and can even make them lose their job.

Such was the power of the seal he had, or rather the power of the one whom that seal represented.
