“Uh… well, can you sense sin in people? Weird question, I know but that’d be helpful” Selik nervously asked as he started opening the door of the building. The pressure inside the building made its way out, blowing with massive strengths.
Aisen and Cassius came from their respected angles; none of them were in the same plane.
Martin closed his eyes and smiled though when he saw this.
“Achromatic Hemisphere…” he spoke up silently as the three people were all frozen in a grayscale dome.
“Smart… but not smart enough I’m afraid…” Martin opened his eyes, revealing crimson colored irises with a sharp edge.
Well, shit, Hinata thought to herself. Things were not looking so hot.
“I’m gonna honest with the three of you, I like you and your determination so… how about this…” Martin turned to the three people around him and smiled.
“The butterfly boy and the dragonfly boy are inside the palace. I give you all ten minutes to find them. If you can indeed find them, I will leave this warrior’s body. If not, well, do I even have to tell you?”
Hinata didn't need to be told. And there was obviously a catch to this; she just wasn't sure what it was.
Martin released the three.
“Well? What do you think?” Martin asked, holding his camera by his chest.
Hinata scowled slightly.
"We don't have much of a choice here."
“Then… your ten minutes start…” Martin’s camera turned to a staff “…NOW!!”
The doors of the palace opened on their own.
[Where will you go?]

[Back of the Palace]
With that, Hinata took off, heading to the attic.
Aisen and Cassius also ran somewhere inside the Palace.
Within the attic, Hinata is to be met with Jay’s body with his armor shattered beside him. He didn’t look the best; having bruises, cuts and wounds all over his body.
“Uh… well, can you sense sin in people? Weird question, I know but that’d be helpful” Selik nervously asked as he started opening the door of the building. The pressure inside the building made its way out, blowing with massive strengths.
Tell him you can, because I can.
Uh, okay.
Kye nodded to the knight. "Yeah I can sense it in a way," he instinctively held up his arm to shield his face as the doors opened.
Sighing in relief to have found Jay, she kneeled down next to him.
"You don't look so hot," she noted.
Selik nodded.
“Alright… then a person with tons of greed and wrath is what we’re looking for” he continued as he walked inside the building, holding the door open for Kye.
Jay was unconscious as no reply or answer was given. He was not dead though.
You found someone? Aisen asked mentally.
Yeah. It's Jay. Hinata looked him over again.
Any luck on your end?
Nope, the left wing of the second floor is completely empty Aisen replied.
The rooftop is also empty Cassius added.
A chime can be heard from outside the palace.
“Five Minutes People!!” Martin’s voice resonated around the palace.
[Where to go?]
[1st Floor (Left)]
[1st Floor (Right)]
[2nd Floor (Left)]
[2nd Floor (Right)]
[3rd Floor (Left)]
[3rd Floor (Right)]

[Back of the Palace]
Kye walked in and began looking around.
Alright Gelion, what am I looking for?
Nothing in this spot, keep going.
Selik walked in front of Kye through the hall.
“So, you work as a peacemaker of sorts, right? Is it, like, stressful? ‘Cause one of our visitors right now is the Balance Keeper of the multiverse and she’s having a hard time in the Labyrinth from what I can tell” he brought up as they walked pass several doors.
Kye looked at him and sighed. "I wish I could say that it wasn't to stressful but when you're job is to try and keep to races, kingdoms, armys what have you, it is very stressful…. Did you say Balance keeper?"
“Yeah, she came here to meet her family and got caught up in this mess we’re in” Selik responded plainly, readjusting his monocle and hat as he moved.
Kye shut his mouth and didn't say anything else about it. "How big is this place?"
Do you have anything yet?
No… well maybe… something…
“Pretty big in both size and power” Selik answered before he came to a stop. He looked left and right.
Who the hell…
He opened the door on his right and used his ability to show who was inside. There was figure inside who was shaking in fear when Selik opened the door. They were quite small compared to the former Knight.
Kye stopped and looked at the small figure. His purple eyes also scanning the area to make sure it was "safe".
Okay now I definitely sense something.
Well that can wait for a moment.
“Sir Selik…?” The small figure struggled to get the words out.
“Yes? And who might you be young one?” The former Knight answered and asked in return.
“Thomas Marth, the next Knight E after sir Rainer…” the small figure answered, eyeing Kye in fear.
Kye took a step back still scanning the room. There were several other figures around them. None paying attention to them.
Anyone in this room?
I don't think so.
Well, keep me updated.
(Hey, this is for all of you. Ever wondered how the Knights were given a code like Knight A, Knight C and all that? There’s actually a sequence if you’d like to know about it)
Selik sighed. He then looked up at the other figures in the room, all of which were regular locals of the Labyrinth.
“Alright… don’t forget that the event is tomorrow, ‘kay?” He reminded the small figure.
“Of course sir”
Selik then closed the door, walking out.
“Well… looks like we’ve got a long way to go” he said before he started walking deeper into the building.
Nope, the left wing of the second floor is completely empty Aisen replied.
The rooftop is also empty Cassius added.
A chime can be heard from outside the palace.
“Five Minutes People!!” Martin’s voice resonated around the palace.
(Hey, just a heads up that I won't be able to be on for at least a day. My dad thinks I'm obsessed but no one can approve anything)
Hinata sighed, bending down and picking Jay up. She carries him as she looked for his brother, heading to the Hourglass Chamber.
(Oof, I feel ya)
As she arrived in the chamber, she would find that andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer) was nowhere to be found down there. The gust of wind blowing through the chamber suggested that it was abandoned for who knows how long.
Found him Aisen sent the message to the two other people.
Next room over. I think. Maybe. I don't know.
Well aren't you helpful.
This place is full of dirtbags and other, I'm doing the best I can.
Well do a better job.
Kye shifted slightly and tipped his head to listen to whatever was going on. There was an argument going on somewhere outside the building. There was the sound of someone walking across the room, headed into a back room. And there was someone, that was speaking, in a different room about getting rid of them. "Hey, uh, Selik, the person we're looking for. They wouldn't happen to not want visitors would they?"
