Castle Sweet Castle

[Lemmy Koopa]

The trek through the Tangled Green was long and challenging in the night with the fact that not only it was night but even with Green leading the way, he was getting exhausted from travel as his stamina was drastically taken down due to the run-in with that pain in the shell from the past, Jr. Troopa, during their first walkthrough in the thick, jungly forest.

Once the duo reached the harsh atmosphere and environment of the Steppes, they were close. The scorched ground, the darkened skies, the bubbling lava pits, the lava flows from cliffs afar, it was a relief to see this landscape again..well maybe for some people..and in a sense, it would hopefully keep Iggy preoccupied with getting too concerned about Ludwig departing the group due to personal reasons, but instead of telling it directly, Green played around with his words on purpose.

Upon reaching a turn, Green said,"The castle is located in the subterranean levels, however, if we are to get lost, the other members of the Troop will aid us out. They've been all over this place as of recently due to several incidents that has been threatening King Bowser and well, for looking out for the rest of the siblings,"

Mostly castle intrusions from outside forces..

"Though, soon enough, you'll be resting in your own room," he continued with a smile. "..well while I get patched up at the Medical Ward and recover for awhile. Nothing new much for someone like me after all, but hey, King Bowser will be more than happy to see you around, so when you can check up with him or perhaps Kamek. Who knows,"

He nervously chuckled afterwards. After all, the thing he could do for now is to keep the situation as upbeat. Of course, there was that small chance that Iggy could be wondering..

Remembering Ludwig's words, Green felt kinda bad for Iggy, after all, the two brothers were recently reunited but Ludwig, it's almost like a part of him doesn't want to leave Iggy but he had to set things straight before he could return. Granted that Ludwig is the reasonable one, he was also very vengeful, especially to the fact that he acted this way around the youngest, being Bowser Jr., the most.

Now those two were a nightmare to break up sometimes..

As they traverse deeper in the Steppes to the cavern where the main castle is, Green warned,"Watch your step. The least thing you want is a slip-up somewhere that would result in..well, you already know. Once we're inside, the main castle is dead ahead and you should be able to see it,"

Afterwhile, Green was reminded and he asked,"Oh and before I forget, how's your head doing so far?"
