The path they were on connected to the main road leading into town just before the gate.
"It's a bit strange though, Yurien commented. "This it the main gate to the city. Usually it'd be really busy."
"Maybe they're all eating lunch?" Gornva wondered. "They might be eating all the yogurt!"

Laren sighed. "Unlikely."

"There are no guards," Yurien commented as they approached the open gate.
"Maybe they're taking a break?" Gornva said. "They might be the ones eating my yogurt!"
"There's always supposed to be a guard watching the gate," Yurien replied. "When I get back to the castle I'm personally looking in to who's on guard duty today."

"Shouldn't there at least be someone here to greet you?" Laren asked.
Diliri threw her arms around Yurien. "This is scary..."

"Don't worry, Diliri," Yurien said, trying to reassure her. "Everything will be ok." he then turned to Laren. "I didn't tell anyone when I'd be back, Yurien explained. "So there probably wouldn't be anything like that until I got to the castle. If there's something happening, this cart might stand out though. Let's walk the rest of the way." Yurien parked the cart in a side ally. The group then continued through the empty streets.
"Maybe everyone was blasted to another dimension?" Gornva said.
"Wait, I think there's some people up ahead," Yurien said.

"Let's go see." Laren suggested.
At the podium, with thousands of Ethians gathered around, the Krousser twins stood together, with several other Nocturnians around them, notably their younger sibling and their bodyguard. "Let this day usher in a new era for the unification of the kingdoms of Razia and Nocturnia." Miki spoke softly through the cawing Mic Bird.

Hari looked approvingly at Miki as he spoke, with a smug smile on her face.
"What's going on here?" Yurien asked, confused. "Why aren't the guards doing something about those people on stage?"
"I think that bird took over your city," Gornva said. "Sneaky little guy."

"Thank you all for accepting us..." Miki said, bowing, then glancing over at Yurien's group. "...as your new rulers."
"D... did you just see that?" Laren said, looking at the podium.
"Who are they?" Diliri said, hiding behind Yurien.

"I don't know," Yurien said. "But they're not going to be rulers for long. I'm going to stop them."
"That bird's pretty convincing though," Gornva commented. "Does this mean we can't stay at the castle tonight?"

Miki then turned and stepped down from the podium.
"We should ask around, see if anyone knows what's up..." Laren suggested.
