Issac's group reassimilated in the lobby of the castle. However, even though they were in the castle, this wasn't their destination. "Whats going on?", asked Issac. "We should be in the Throne Room!"

"Are your powers on the fritz?", asked Kaos.

"No," he replied. "Its something else."

"I agree.", said Emrys. "Theres more to this place than meets the eye."

On the ground he saw what looked like a spell circle etched out onto the polished floor.

"A rerouter circle.", he said.

"A what?", asked Grey.

"A rerouter circle.", repeated Emrys. "It's a complex spell array that changes the destination of any nearby teleportation magic."

"So we can't warp our way into the throne room?", asked Mia.

"Obviously not. Our adversaries want us to work our way to the destination."

"Then we have no time to waste.", declared Issac. "Lets get going before something really bad happens to the king."

Everyone nodded and began to forge onwards through the Hallways and up the stairs. On the way they were obstructed by enemy soldiers and monsters. As they worked their way to the first floor, they were blocked off by the Bandersnatches from earlier in their adventure. However, after all their past exploits, they easily defeated them. As they neared the door to the Throne Room, they faced what looked like an unending, unrelenting army of enemy soldiers. Slowly they proceeded to the Doorway but it never seemed as though they got any closer.

"By the gods, How many of them are there?!", Yelled Grey. "No army could fit in this small chamber!"

"Just keep blasting through!!", Yelled Issac from overhead. He continuously launched elemental spells that certainly caused a number on the soldiers, but thousands more seemed to take their places.

"I think Grey's right!", Yelled Kaos. "There is no way that so many of these Pus-ladened assholes could fit into this place!"

"Emrys! could you check if it's an Illusion?", called Mia who was desperately hanging on to the pillar she sought safety on. Emrys ducked down beneath the horde of soldiers, trying to find some sign of a spell circle, but to no avail. He then climbed up the nearest pillar to find some sign there as well. He found nothing, but saw a distinct pattern in the army's onslaught.

"Guys! The real soldiers are moving in a star-shaped pattern! Break up their movements, and the illusion will be gone!!!"

They wasted no time. Mia shot an arrow into one of the soldiers and the illusions began breaking apart. Then Grey ran into the path of one of the soldiers and halted the entire line from moving altogether. That removed the illusions completely. Issac then chased them off with a burning tornado and ran into the Throne room with the others. They made it, just in time before Prometheus could decapitate King Alex.

"Father!", yelled Mia.

"Mia!", exclaimed the king.

"Well, well, how lovely.", sneered Prometheus. "A reunion between father and daughter. Too bad it couldn't be under better conditions."

"Prometheus...Now is not the time...deal the Final Blow.", said Pandora besides him.

"Now, now, my dear sister. There's always time for a little fun!" Prometheus twirled the Scythe beside him and readied it for battle.

"So we're fighting both of you now?", asked Issac, readying his Staff as well.

"Gyahahahaha! Don't think you're so mighty, boy! Thats what your predecessors thought before being taken!", He said laughing. "Besides, I, myself will be enough for you!" Suddenly the Walls of the Throne Room began to set ablaze.

"Oh, crap.", whimpered Kaos.

"Gyahahahahahahaha....MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Prepare to draw your last breath, scum!!!!" And with that Prometheus leaped into battle.
