Beau and Grayson took a seat. Grayson gestured "two" to the bar hand. He knew the pairs usual. Half pint of whisky each.

"Grayson I need your help sneaking in King Tolkiens castle... I'm supposed to meet with Princess Ariana." Beau said.

"I met her hand maiden Jenna and she told me." Grayson replied.

"Wait how does she know this that means, it could be a trap!" Beau said quickly.

Just then the bar hand gave each of them their drinks. Beau and Grayson each chugged till empty. A half pint is nothing to them.

"Jenna is the only one that knows. She's close to the princess. She is like a sister." Grayson said.

Beau replied. "But how does she know when Ariana left right after..."

Grayson cut him short to save him the confusion and said. "It was later in the night I met the Princess' hand maiden,Jenna. She was picking up left over garments from drunk members of there court to return them. We talked about our friendship how I was like a brother to you and how she like a sister to Princess Ariana. Shortly into talking we knew we had to see one another again. Princess Ariana and Jenna were discussing you. Princess Ariana had already made the choice before y'all spoke to have you come see her. Jenna told me to accompany you. I was meaning to find you this morning and well hear you are. If it's just the two of us I believe it can be done."

Beau could sense Grayson encountered the same cosmic pull to Jenna that he too felt when he met Ariana that night. This was a once in a lifetime connection they each found.

"We will see them again brother. " Beau said patting Grayson on the soldier.

"Aye." Grayson replied.

"Also that's exactly what I was thinking. We go in quietly we leave quietly. I usually would be skeptical about such things but if  it's just us we will be in and out. I truly believe her energy is pure. Also Jenna's. I saw them speaking to one another before I spoke with Ariana. She ran off before I could say hello." Beau said with a smile.

"We have some planning to do then brother.  Grayson replied pulling a small scroll from inside his sleeve. Here's a map King Tolkien's castle I acquired from my fathers library. He won't miss it for a few days." Grayson replied.

"I can always count on you brother." Beau said.

Grayson nodded. That evening the two young men sat and planned out their stealth operation. They would leave in the evening the next day at sundown.
