"Third floor, west wing. It normally has two guards, but with the crisis..." Larissa looked toward the window where she could see guards being redistributed to defensive positions throughout the castle.
"Probably only one, or maybe none if everyone's focused on the defense," Liora added, though her voice carried uncertainty about whether they could count on such luck.
"The problem is getting there undetected," Matilda observed. "The main halls are going to be monitored."
Luna studied the problem, her mind working through possibilities…
"Can we teleport inside?"
"Larissa and I can't," Liora said, disappointment clear in her voice. "We generate light flashes when we do it."
"I don't generate light," Luna smiled, touching the shadows that seemed to respond to her presence. "My shadow jumping is completely silent and invisible."
"Yes indeed, you're the best one to take the seal," Larissa concluded.
