The Campaign of Gluttony (Boss Fight)

[phantommods]

The calling card was sent, and like the previous Palace, the Military camp was in full alert, the soldiers in white scurried up and down the rows like mice in a maze - but thanks to the path the infiltrators found, one can easily bypass the majority of them by a tear in the back flap. In the middle of a tent that looks right out of Kipling was a mahogany table with a radiant pair of rings on a pillow, upon the intrusion, both shadows of James and Tamara whirled onto the thieves as the cognitive version of their son pounces onto the scene, covering the treasure with his own body. Any attempts to get close is deterred by either Popletts, dressed up in clothing that wouldn't be out of place in a Napoleonic piece.

“How dare you profane this place?!” Shadow James roared as the pair stare down the thieves.

“I should’ve known this would happen, the children weren’t doing their duties, and now some awful thieves are trying to ransack our camp.” Tamara hid behind her fan, like her normal version, it seems she has an aversion to her eyes being seen.

“It’s to be expected, dear. These people have no idea how to act civilized, what a man has belongs to him, that is how it is ordained. Soldiers, there’s intruders - seize them!”

From the main flap, there’s a scurrying of feet and the clanking of metal against metal - preventing escape.

Hunter, meanwhile, is unloading a stream of swearwords under his breath. He bites them back to get control.

"We need to get out now. Tamara will pay her due, that's why we're here in the first place. But James is gone. There's nothing we can do for him now. You might want to follow us, kid, it's about to get real messy in the real world."

The sight of the Shadow's demise still lingers in front of him, yet Hunter's voice is enough to bring him back to reality as he turns to Tamara. "He's right. We can't stay here for long. Like he said, Tamara will atone her sins, but she will be safe."

With that, he attempts to grab May's wrist and tries to leaves with her to leave the Palace along with the other Thieves.

"Not to worry, I will come with you." May responds, pulling her wrist away from Augustine out of sheer instinct with her eyes widen for a few seconds before she lowers her eyes.

"Sorry... Habit with adults." she murmurs, taking Augustine's hand into her own instead as she leaves with him.
