The Syncil

Time up

Both went silent for a moment. "WHAT!?" They both were surprised.

"So um can you lead us out of here?"

"Well yes I did see a shore on the right. Just go over there and swim straight for a while you'll surely find it"

"Why thank you" both hurriedly went to the direction and after swimming for a while they saw the shore.

Both let out a relieved sigh. There was a door in the middle leading to nowhere but none was scared to go inside by the amount of adventures they had. They both went near the door and as the door opened the both accidentally fell right through the door.

Meanwhile..

Lorelei and Marcel had gathered in the middle of the maze, waiting for Alice and Avi. They were a bit worried since an amount of time had passed.

Suddenly..

Both of them fell right from the sky into the bush located in the middle of the maze, surrounding the flag.

"Oww~"

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU BOTH OKAY!?" Both Marcel and Lorelei said in unison while helping Alice and Avi to get up.

"Yeah we're fine" Alice reassured. "You dumbass I told you to be patient" Avi said getting up as he tripped again into Marcel's arms.

"So... What exactly happened..?"

"Long story short, we both found a door and accidentally tripped" Alice said

"That's... interesting"

"Yeah but anyways somebody told me to go behind that tree and there will be some sort of a door which will lead us out"

"I don't believe anything at this point"

"Shut up and follow me"

They all walked towards the tree in the corner but were stopped by some guards.

"You can't go further than this people" one of the guards spoke up. "Infact you can't even be in this garden what are you doing here and how did you all even get here!?"

"We-"

"You must come with us to meet and explain to the Duchess"

the two guards escorted them all to a field. They tried to peek into it to try and find out what was going on inside. There was a expensively dressed Duchess inside playing hockey, well... terribly playing hockey.

The guards stood there and stopped them all until the Duchess was done with her 'shot'

"Your majesty these intruders were trying to mess with 'The Tree of Golden Roses and Silver Apples'

The Duchess became furious and stomped her feet. "How dare you!?"

All of them were confused and exchanging glances. "Well your majesty I-"

"You forgot to courtesy! Your heads will be off!" The Duchess said. "No wait! Listen to their explanation first" the Duke said who was sitting at a distance.

"Fine, follow me" the Duchess commanded while walking toward a court. More guards surrounded the Syncil visitors, preventing them to escape.

Scene II

All were at the court. The Duchess on one side and Marcel on the other to explain everything.

"So what do you have to say, your majesty?" The judge interogated, not at all fearing the cruel queen. That is surprising.

"The forgot to bow before talking to me" she said while throwing a small tantrum.
Everyone quietly cringed.

"Hmm, I see. What do you have to say in your defence, young man?" She asked.

"Your honour I just appeared to have been teleported here and as we were all stressing over how to get out, the guards brought us to the royal stadium so in a hurry we forgot to bow" he explained.

The judge sighed "another one" she quietly mumbled to herself.

What does she mean be another one?

"Okay, you're not-guilty and free to go" the judge told Marcel which enraged the Duchess.

"THEY DISOBEYED ME AND YOU'RE LETTING 'EM GO!?" She retorted.

"Well your majesty their explanation clearly resembles that they are mere visitors and don't know the rules followed here" the judge said while gesturing Marcel to leave.

Marcel saw it and quickly ran out of the place with the rest of the team.

"Finally we can check what's behind that tree!"

They all rushed towards the maze and ran to the centre.

Meanwhile

The Duchess was so angry that she was about to jump at the judge who was least bothered. The guards held her to her place as the Duke tried to calm her down. The judge saw her chance and ran out of the scene.

A person sitting amongst the audience noticed her and screamed her name to her her attention.

"Iris!"
