It seems in the few days travel from the mainland, that your errant ramblings about Atlantis and your triumph over it, had not fallen on deaf ears with the Emir despite his seeming disinterest.

The mer-knights struggle to maintain the perimeter since they can't hope to keep the peace, and the bishop-fish worriedly murmurs with the mounted captain of the guard. The arrival of a sea monster is one thing, but none can mistake or deny the orichalcum crown, same as the finely wrought metal of their weapons and armor.
<span class="mu-s">"I-I-I ah... well... please accompany us, I am sure we can resolve things better... that is to say, not in the street!"</span>
Now you really want to laugh, at the meddling of the little human. The sea folk arrived in such strength, such a show of power and full command of the situation. In short order with some words however, the Emir has disarmed them as surely as if he'd physically taken their weapons away, they dare not attack or push you around now. Especially not with having to contend with the uproarious crowd.
The wretched little human may not be able to fight for a damn but his nobility, that divine spark, certainly shines through. Funny, if you'd known beforehand you'd have brought your orichalcum statue...

Having been led along by the royal escort, mainly to hurry you out of the plaza and away from the public, you eventually find yourself in the least-ruined structure of the city center. Now serving as palace to the king, it seems. Although Faysal's great weakness seems to be his haste and acting on impulse (hence his foolish challenge of you), in a situation such as this it may be a benefit, because of how little time the other side has to prepare. From the settlement outskirts to the palace in as (relatively) short a time, you see the sea folk of the palace hurrying about in such disarray as to cause chaos.
