Zenyph opened his mouth, but Saphirella was faster. "This is Zenyph Drakonhart." she explained. "We're... friends. He's not a threat."
Zenyph wanted to correct her, but he wasn't in the mood for a fight. He nodded, smiling brightly at the guards. "I apologize for any misunderstandings, it's just been a long day."
The guards lowered their weapons, but they still looked suspicious.
"Follow us inside." said Neri, as she turned and led them through the wall of water.
The path eventually ended in a large courtyard with a giant statue of Saphirella sitting atop a throne made of water. It was beautiful, and the details were incredible. It was like the queen was staring down at them, judging them, and finding them wanting.
"The royal palace." whispered Zenyph as his eyes traveled up the towering building above them. He couldn't help but marvel at the craftsmanship and skill that must have gone into creating such a magnificent piece.
