The group bowed once again to King Skythunder before leaving the throne room.
The warriors looked with excitement and relief at each other.
If King Skythunder had said that he didn't like the Procedure, he would have probably killed everyone that had undergone it or known how to perform it.
Luckily, King Skythunder didn't see any issues with it.
But then, the warriors remembered something else and looked at each other with complex expressions.
Yes, King Skythunder had agreed to the Procedure, but he had also killed one of theirs.
From the five warriors, only four were left.
Did that warrior deserve to die?
Of course not!
But that didn't matter.
He was dead now, and there was nothing they could have done.
The group walked in silence until they left the castle. After that, they continued walking for a while longer before Duke Whirlwind stopped.
