Arc 4: Court of Spears

Story Arc 4 (The Court of Spears) consists of 18 episodes and is full of intrigue and drama as the heroes - Corbin, Fran, and Slake, along with Maeri, arrive in the City of Madrea.
==Summary==
Fran, Corbin, and Maeri arrive to Madrea by ship. Upon their arrival, they encounter and swiftly stop the pirate attack; Slake helped as well. Slake helped fight off some pirates on the land as well and then proceeded to power pose on the beach. They became the intern of the Guardians. They all meet captain Lorea, the head of Madrean guards, who, albeit very surpised that three teens have single-handedly saved the city before she could, thanks them.
Lorea informs the squad that the city might need their heroic services, and there are reasons to believe the pirate attack was planned. She asks the heroes to find out if there is someone in the court who sponsor the attackers.
Becoming the saviours of Madrea at once, our heroes are invited to stay at the palace with the Queen Tevenein and receive a swarming amount of invitations to distinguished people of the Court. They are appointed a valley - Dodson Goodson, who is there whenever they need him. Making their way to the ball, where Fran exchanged some sick burns, Corbin turned into a horse to impress a certain prince, and Slake fell down the stairs, the honoured guests were welcomed with raised eyebrows and sly insults.
Dinners, political intrigue, intricate clothes rules, and drama followed.
