Much like how Azalea's cabin had offered a warming atmosphere despite the woman residing that was anything but, now the Palace was void of any sort of fun or hedonistic energy. Now, Hazeel immediately kept Sara behind him, making sure that he brought up the front of wherever their next "enemy" was going to come from. "No, it was not like this the first time I came," Hazeel replied, eyes darting around the hallways and rooms whenever they moved into or past one. When he stepped out into the room with the wheel, Hazeel felt his heart jump into his chest from the sight of the woman. Something was entirely off about her. Her smile didn't register on anything Hazeel had seen as humanoid emotion. She looked like a monster wearing a human's body.<br/><br/>Hazeel coughed at the chemical scents, bringing an arm up to cover his nose while his eyes watered with disgust. He wrinkled his nose to try and smell something that wasn't so acrid, but he wasn't so lucky. He wished that he could turn tail and leave, but he knew the magics more than anything would prevent him from doing so. <em>"Any hints about this place?"</em> Hazeel asked the Whispers within his mind, growing annoyed that with such a nefarious place, the Whispers didn't even bother to warn him about anything, especially this terrifying woman. "Fine, I'll play your game," he muttered as he grabbed a roulette ball from the floor and threw it over to the wheel, letting it spin and dictate his fate. "Sara, stay behind me," he muttered, one hand remaining near his scimitar while he pointed at the woman with the other. "What are the rules? And leave my partner out of it..."</span>
