After arriving at a magnificent, towering palace illuminated by colorful glowing algae, they were greeted by two female attendants who immediately bowed upon seeing Luca. They carried four transparent helmets that looked like round aquariums, inscribed with runes and featuring a small box attached to the back connected by a hose—as if they had been expecting them.
Luca took them and handed one each to Ard, Claudia, Ainsley, and Irwin inside the bubble. She then signaled for them to put the helmets on and showed them how. Ard, Claudia, Ainsley, and Irwin quickly donned the gear and pressed the buttons on the back. Instantly, their bodies were enveloped in a transparent energy that acted like a protective barrier.
Then Luca popped the bubble. Ard, Claudia, Ainsley, and Irwin landed on the palace veranda right in front of the entrance.
"Welcome to the royal palace of Lenoria," the two attendants greeted them with a bow.
