The morning sun began to rise Percival proceeded to wake up all the members of Team Percival. They all got up and packed their things and went on their way. "We are close to the kingdom of Pyro." Said Percival. "Is that a good thing?" Asked T-card. "I would suppose so." Said Samuel. They arrived at the gates that led into the kingdom and hid behind some bushes. "Well what are we waiting for?" said T-card as he began to dart towards the gates. Percival grabbed him by the collar of his shirt. "Hey let me go!" Exclaimed T-card. Percival put his hand over T-card's mouth. Regardless of T-cards muffled protests Percival didn't let go.
A rogue knight walked right by the Bush while making his rounds. Percival let out a sigh of relief as he released T-card, "we can't just waltz right on into the kingdom. They are looking for us. Once they spot us we will be thrown in the dungeon right away." Said Percival. "Well I do have some cloaks I collected from a shop in Bliswood. They can conceal our faces." Said Samuel as he pulled them out. "Perfect now we will look like regular peasants." Said Percival. They all put on the cloaks and pulled the hoods over their heads. It was nearly impossible to see their faces. "Alright lets go." Said Percival. They all walked to the gates where they met the gatekeeper. The gatekeeper wore dark and dirty armor and he wore a helmet that looked like a dragon skull on his head. "WHO GOES THERE?! STATE YOUR BUSINESS!" Demanded the gatekeeper.
"We are some peasants here to pay our respects to king morgrim." Said Percival trying to stop from vomiting. "Very well you may proceed." Said the gatekeeper as he knocked on the metal gate three times as a signal to the guard on the other side to open the door. The metal gates slowly and loudly squeaked open. Percival and the rest entered the gates. Percival looked around and saw the large castle bearing not the banner of Pyro but of a black banner with a gold skull in the center. The banner sickened Percival and he shed a tear as blurry flashbacks of the attack sixteen years ago swelled into his mind. Julie placed a hand on his shoulder. "I know Percival. I know it hurts but just think very soon the dark sage will fall to your feet and you will be king." Said Julie. Percival smiled a little at Julie's support. "Alright lets see if we can get some information on Morgrim." Said Percival.
They walked around and asked every person they could find for information on morgrim. Nobody seemed to know anything about Morgrim other than that he was king. "Nobody knows anything." Said Percival. "Hey over hear." Whispered a mysterious voice. "Did you hear someone guys?" Said Percival. Julie, T-card and Samuel nodded their heads. They walked towards the voice. They saw a man with no shirt or shoes. He wore white pants and a white headband. "I hear your looking for information on king morgrim. Is that right?" Said the mysterious man. "Yea. Do you have information?" Asked Percival. "Yeah he lives up in that castle and he is a sage. The highest rank of spellcaster." Said the mysterious man. "Who are you? And why are you helping us?" Asked Percival. "My name is Diego. I used to work for Morgrim as his most trusted knight that is until I realized what he did to villages that his army came across. I quit and I have studied the the way of martial arts." Said the man.
"Isn't he looking for you?" Asked Percival. "No. Like I said I quit and he doesn't really pay any mind to me. Just tells everyone to ignore me if I say anything about him." Said Diego. "Well thank you for the information." Said Percival. "Who are you?" Said Diego. "I am Percival." Said Percival. "I have heard of you! You're the Percival that I heard morgrim talk so much about! He was expecting you to come after him! If your planning on taking him out then count me in! He's been absolutely awful to the civilians here! I want to give them justice as an apology for working for that awful sage" Said Diego. "Any assistance you can provide I will gladly accept." Said Percival. "Good I owe these people for being involved with that awful sage's plans." Said Diego. "Then follow us. we need an army before we can even think of trying to storm the castle." Said Percival as he walked into the town square. The afternoon sun illuminated the town square in golden light.
