The three girls nodded and stepped back while reading their weapons. Only when they were ready did Blake take a deep breath and take a step onto the first step. "Halt!" The figure at the top of the steps finally moved as they slammed their spear down on the black stone and yelled out. "You are trying to attack this palace!?"
Blake realized since he had a sword out that, he was being seen as an enemy. He quickly sheathed his sword and raised his hands. "I mean you no harm. I was just here to check things out. Can you tell me where this is? If not, I can leave now."
"Hmmm?" The figure looked at Blake and then at the people down at the bottom of the stairs. "Are they with you?" The figure asked as its gaze fell onto the two princes and then at the three girls at the side.
"Just the three girls over there." Blake pointed at Titi and the rest.
