After Wenzo had left, a heavy silence had entered the room. Clyde and Ruffles both looked at the ground, guilt shown on their faces. After a while, Clyde finally spoke.

"So what if he could have found us. If Myles wants to come into our home and pick a fight, then it's a fight he's gonna get! We're gonna get our home back, and defeat Myles. Who's with me." Clyde courageously spoke.

The group paused for a second, before Ruffles spoke up.

"What are we waiting for. I'm in." replied Ruffles.

"I'm in too." added Sofia.

"So am I." said Poppy.

"Me too." added Lilly.

"Alright, what's the plan?" Clyde asked.

"... You don't know?" Ruffles asked.

"Ummm... I didn't think that far." Clyde reluctantly admitted.

Ruffles then pulled some colored pieces of paper out of his pocket and laid them on the table.

"These are maps of the castle. The throne room is here, where Myles will likely be." said Ruffles as he pointed to a spot on the map. "We  can enter through a vent and up to a hatch under the carpet, right where Myles is. Then we attack."

Lilly quickly dashed out of the room, closing the door behind her. The group waited for a few seconds before the door opened. Lilly entered the room, a bow in her hand with a quiver on her back, holding arrows inside.

Lilly then pulled multiple stone swords out of her bag, handing one to each member of the group.

"This is all that I could find." explained Lilly.

"It's perfect." reassured Clyde.

Lilly blushed hearing this while Ruffles climbed into the vent. The others climbed in after Ruffles, making their way through the dark tunnel.
