Somewhere in the woods, in a secret hideout underground, a group of mysterious figures were standing around inside a stone hall that was lit up with oil lamps. All of them were wearing black hooded robes that were both large and long, hiding not only their appearances but their body shapes as well. A large fire was burning in the middle of a raised stone platform, causing the hooded figures to cast flickering shadows on the walls.
"It has been a month since we hatched the plan, and things have gone smoothly so far. With the King of Megaris leaving the palace as expected, we can start moving to get that new queen."
The voice of a woman came from the hooded figure whose hands held a long wooden staff which had a shining black orb at the top of it.
"Is it truly going smoothly? Did we fail to get an understanding of her strength? What if she is powerful like the previous queen? Are we by ourselves enough to deal with her?" a male voice asked this time.
