The hall of the tyrant was silent for the longest time. None of the remaining three moved. Isadora was on her knees, her father's body sprawled out in front of her. The sword sticking out from his chest resulted in a pool of blood which was rapidly spreading.
Pende and Zack stood a distance away, both of them unsure of whether too approach. The battle hardened Chianti Hunter was the first to move. Even though he had wanted to help Isadora in the battle moments ago, this time he didn't pay any attention to her. Instead he moved, slowly and methodically, towards the half-broken throne of her father. At the top of the throne, half hidden in the golds and gems was a key.
Pende carefully extracted the key, and examined it closely. Zack couldn't see much of the object but he could see a shining 5 inscribed in the middle of it. There were also other inscriptions dotted over the key, but Zack couldn't read what those were.
