Gregory and Alaric stepped out of the teleport, the three gnomes in their hands. They had to leave the wagon in Gorington, but the community stables were a safe place to leave your belongings.
When they had gotten the news that Marcellus was Alaric's champion, they had been surprised. The royal messenger had given Alaric the summons and told him he was to show up or have his champion disqualified. They had just an hour to do so.
Alaric thought that it was cheating on his siblings' side. They probably knew that Marcellus would show them all up, so, they had tried to get him out of the running because of him not being there.
Sometimes, the blonde prince wondered why his siblings disliked him so much. Well, Alana did not, and Taniel was too young to form dislikes about anything. Then there was Flora, who also didn't seem to hold a mean bone towards him.
