Tolkalee broke into a sprint when he saw Cronos by the door. He was about half way to the building now.

Cronos noticed a figure flying overhead of Tolkalee; he knew exactly who it was. When Tolkalee arrived at the door, Cronos knelt down at the figure behind him.
“Welcome back to the Labyrinth, Lord Francis” he stated.
The figure wore a nebulous colored coat and had a royal symbol on his hand. He yawned and waved a little at Cronos. Not even acknowledging about Tolkalee’s presence, he walked by them in a tired format.
When the figure was out of sight, Cronos stood up.

Tolkalee had come to a stop and was breathing actually fairly normal, for having sprinted like that. But he was use to running long distances like that, and then fighting at the end of the run, so he'd built up stamina for things like that. "Who was that?" He asked Cronos when the figure was gone.

Cronos turned to the hall.
“One of the Viscounts, Lord Leo Francis, host of Dimensional Cloak…” he started. “He’s relatively nice, but don’t make him mad. I’ve been there, I know” he added, closing the door and walking into the hall.

"Well, depending on the person, I am very good at not making them mad. Otherwise I am very good at doing the exact opposite. Let's hope he's one of the ones I get along with," Tolkalee was looking after Leo. "You're other buddy delivered my bow to me. The archer with the obnoxious arrows, that can fly. He's lucky I didn't see him as a threat as he took off again." Tolkalee began walking down the hall towards everyone else. "I could have dropped him from the sky. Easily."

“You mean Intharachit right? Once he gets on his Naga, it’s almost impossible to knock him off. Imagine it being like… a lock, I guess” Cronos corrected.

"I never said get him off, I said drop him," Tolkalee glanced back over his shoulder, with his eye patch facing back towards Cronos.

“Sure…” he sighed a little.
Walking through the hall, Cronos thought of something. He was worried about something and his expression showed it.

"What's up?" Tolkalee asked without looking back.

“If Lord Francis is back… then my apprentice should be back as well since they went together to visit Earth…” he turned around. Where the heck is he… he thought to himself.

"And?" Tolkalee turned to look at him now. His good eye seemed almost like it was glowing softly, but the lighting made it hard to tell for sure. "Just cause you haven't seen them yet doesn't mean they aren't back."

“No no no, that’s not it…” Cronos closed his eyes. Opening them again, he sighed. “I don’t sense his aura around at all”

"Then he's not back yet," Tolkalee shrugged. "The thing about apprentices is that you have to give them space. You can't know where they are at every waking moment. Let them do them. Give him a little while, and if you still can't sense him and and he hasn't made contact, then you go find him."

Cronos continued to walk down the hall.
“I’m worried ‘cause it’s only a week ‘til the Graduation Ceremony and he’s still not ready for it, but I suppose I’ll give him a day or two…” he walked to a large door in the hallway. He looked back to Tolkalee.
“Do you want to go…?” His voice, more chilling than usual.

"To the graduation ceremony? That depends on if I'm busy or not. Through those doors?" he walked forward and shrugged. "Why not?" Then he pushed them open, and slowly crept inside checking all his corners before going all the way in.

Behind the door was not a normal room. Inside was filled with mist, smoke and that itself provided a chilly environment. On the ground, gravestone and totems can be found around the room which was filled with soil.
Cronos sighed.
“This is the Royal Graveyard…”

"Nice place, but why did you bring us here?" Tolkalee looked at Cronos. "We need to get back to the others."

Cronos walked into the room. Amidst the fog, a switch was on the ground. He kicked it so that a system would go into active.
“There’s someone who wants to see you…” he said, telling him to come into the room with him.

"Why…?" Tolkalee took a step back. He had really bad memories of pretty much everyone that "wanted to see him."

Cronos smiled when he turned away from Tolkalee.
“That, I don’t know…” he said. “All that I know is that if you disagree to come with me…” he turned back to Tolkalee. “…one of the Marquesses’ name will sure be on your grave…” his voice was crippled and his face was distorted, this Royal Graveyard is more than meets the eye.

Tolkalee refrained from sighing. He also kept a straight face to hid his fear. "O…kay, let's go see this person them." He silently vowed to be ready for anything.

The mist within the room covered Tolkalee’s eyes and causing him to cough. When the smoke cleared, opening his eyes again would result in him seeing a golden and clean hallway.
Cronos was still in front of him, walking down it. When they arrived at the door at the end of the hallway, opening the door lead to a huge room; having three doors colored differently and in different directions.
Cronos turned his head, his eyes were blank as he walked to the door colored white with golden corners.
He knocked on the door…

"That's no way to punish someone." Hinata took another step forward. She was barely controlling her rage. This could get ugly…

Tolkalee waited in silence to see what was behind the door. His hand hoovering over his dagger should he need it.

The black coated royal figure glanced back up at Hinata.
“Right…my apologies Balance Keeper… that is indeed not a way to punish one…” he took a step back. His eye flashed in the dark. Chains of the hue of black came in all directions and got a grasp on Jonathan’s body, attempting to pull his body apart.
“This is a way to punish one person…” he looked up, not even an expression can be decrypted from his face. The chains pulled on the child’s body as he let out a pained cry…

When the door in front of Tolkalee opened, a white and cleansed figure walked out. Though humanoid, the figure resembled a Seraphim more than a human. The three pair of white wings behind the figure were not stained nor dirty in anyway. The figure’s eyes, golden and blue, hair was white and he had a little scar by his mouth.
Cronos knelt down immediately when the figure opened the door.
“He’s here now, Lord Miller…”

(i'm lost)
loki walked out of the building she was in to stretch her wings

(This is gonna be bad………………..)
Hinata seemed to vibrate with rage. Then, for a moment, it seemed as if there were two of her; one of shadows, and one of light. Then, she was gone. Her aura had disappeared as well; it was as if she had never existed.

Deciding that it would polite, Tolkalee gave the dude a small bow. "You wanted to see me?"

(Be afraid; be very afraid.)
In another part of the Labyrinth, in their home, Ayashi and Michel looked up. Ayashi gasped.
"She learned-" Ayashi immediately fell on her knees and started praying. Michel followed. They weren't praying for Hinata, though. They were praying for whoever caused this.

Jonathan turned back to Hinata, he mouthed something. Getting up the energy to finally say it.
“Mrs. Hinata, please promise me to not hurt him…” he grunted. “He’s…only doing his duty…” he let out another cry when the chains by his arms pulled upwards.

The angelic figure nodded but didn’t say anything. He turned back down to Cronos and knelt down to him. He grabbed Cronos’ chin, forcing it up to him.
“Failure…All of you…” he said, sending Cronos across the hall with a single flick.
“And you…you must be Hosea, correct?” He looked down and said to him.
