I feel Nyx shaking me gently. I cough up a gag of air. I look and see the sky blooming. The clouds were parenting. I see the sun and I feel it warming my face. I see the castle. I see the stone and the stick. It looks like an amped up beaver dam. It was bigger than Meghan's Castle. Kerrian steps down from the wagon. The gates had dragon symbols. I didn't sleep as well as I had hoped. I get going in and out, but... I survived a couple of hours sleeping well.

"We will soon meet my uncle." Mabe says.

"Can't wait." I chuckle. 

I turn and see soldiers climbing down like spiders.

"Hail your niecessness." One guard says.

Mabe lowers her head respectfully. I hear the doors bellow open. Ash and Mabe jump down.

"Sorry, Puck no wagons." Nyx helps me out.

"Let me." Poseidon says.

"I'd rather have Nyx." I say.

"Instead of your brother?" Poseidon asks.

"Yes." I say.

Poseidon nods respectfully. I was about to suddenly trust him again. Granted, he was nicer to me than the other two, but that doesn't matter much anymore. However, the cracks forming on his arm are worrisome. Will that happen to me? They look unnatural and unsanitary. A chill goes down my spine.

Mabe leads us inside. It was brighter than I thought. There were holes forming windows all around the castle. It feels damp inside. I see the ground was made of stone and gold. One thing Gobelins love is gold. It has always been gold.  Goblins have a heart of gold after all. I look down my chest. It had been rebandaged, thanks Nyx or Mabe or Ash. Do I have a heart black as coal?
