Sylvia followed the Hollow King through the palace as her summons cleared the way ahead. The guards who saw their former leaders walking beside her dropped their weapons and fled through the side halls.
"They've entered the palace! Get away from the lower stairs!"
The warning reached them just as a thick door slammed shut at the end of the hall. The Hollow King pulled it out of its frame and sent it sliding across the floor.
BANG!
A stairway stretched deep beneath the palace and golden seals covered its walls. As they descended Sylvia felt several powers pressing against those seals from the other side.
The stairs ended at a chamber where four people were held above separate stone platforms. Chains ran through glowing circles around their bodies and tightened whenever they tried to move.
A muscular man with blond hair stared at the broken doorway. "Hollow King, what are you doing here?"
