The sisters' arrival with their army in Kinderley were a surprise to the locals as they have never seen two girls ride on the backs of hellhounds before. Velmaia would shoot a glare at those she caught watching them forcing their eyes to look away.
They trudged through the main road and at the far end, they were met with a castle. The outer walls were decorated with skull carvings once every few feet. Upon entering the courtyard, they could see that the main entrance to the castle had a giant skull with a missing lower jaw as a canopy, symbolizing that entering would mean to be eaten.
The sisters dismounted their hounds and told their demons to guard them before navigating their way to the throne room. There, they saw a demon sitting on a throne which appeared to be made of bones. The demon had a skull for a head with a pair of horns protruding from its temple, which would explain the bone obsession. Its torso was red with its rib cage placed outside instead of in, and its entire body looked as if it's wearing an exo-skeletal armor. The sisters walked closer before kneeling before the bony demon.
"Who dares come in to my dwelling?" the Bone Lord asked.
"We've come to warn you of a great danger," Aeziana said.
"Speak," the Bone Lord ordered.
"As you know, the humans have a habit of rioting and they even put up a rebellion. Well, this rebellion is coming to Kinderley, your city, and they will force it out of your grip," Aeziana persuaded.
"I am the ruler of these lands. Where are these rebels you speak of?" the Bone Lord asked.
"On their way," Aeziana said. "My scouts have confirmed that they're still in Stonefall."
"So what do you propose?" the Bone Lord inquired.
Aeziana smiled, her plan was working. "I propose that we strike them before they can make their way here. And we strike them hard."
"I've contributed most of my legion to fight in the north."
"Do you have any demons that fly?" Aeziana asked.
"I suppose I do have some left. What use do you have of them?"
Aeziana and Velmaia raised their chins to look at the bony demon. "A good one."
