Felina had kept trying to convince her partners, and in particular Lyra, that getting imprisoned was the best alternative. Of course, their weapons would be taken from them but at least they would be in the castle and they would just need to find them once they had escaped from their gaols. It was hard to see if she had managed to convince them, though.<br/><br/>As they approached the daunting castle it seemed to her increasingly clearer that brute force stood no chance of success. Or rather that would bring them to prison in a more brutal way than was actually needed. Felina was still arguing with Lyra, through clenched teeth, as they walked along the drawbridge.<br/><br/><strong>"Don't be foolish! If they come out, do not resist!"</strong><br/><br/>Suddenly a magical barrier appeared behind them, blocking their way and then six female guards came towards them, weapons drawn, looking threatening.<br/><br/><strong>"Those are professional soldiers. That would be stupid to oppose them. Let me talk!"</strong>Felina whispered to her companions while stepping forward, lifting her empty hands above her head in a sign of peace. She then called to the one who looked the chief of the guards and said,<br/><br/><strong>"Excuse us if we are trespassing. Please believe our word that we come with no bad intentions. We are just a group of tired travellers who are looking for a shelter for the night. We were surprised by the thunderstorm that is about to rain on us. I trust the owner of such a beautiful castle would have a room to spare for a few travellers? We do not request anything else. We may even pay our stay."</strong>
