The Sleeping Prince

Chapter 6

Kilic yawned as he grows bored. "How much longer we have to wait, Skull?"

His skeleton companion sighed, irritated. "Be patience," he growled. "I'm sure we'll be free and continue our guest."

"I hope," Kilic sighed. "I wish we're free already."

Before Skull replied, he and Kilic heard something outside. Curious they are, they stand and begin walking near the entrance. There they watch as numerous soldiers marches, all wore armors and carry their weapons in hands. Like they ready for battle.

"This can't good," Kilic stated, staring soldier marches.

"No, it isn't." Skull agreed. "The princess sent her soldiers to a suicide mission that'll end their lives."

"So that means we won't be free soon." He wailed.

"No clue," the skull-face retorted, turning away as he sits where he was early. "We just have to wait and see. Although we'll be surprised if the princess and her soldiers got away from Belinda."

"Good point," his companion nodded, turning his attention to Skull. "Then what?"

"Do I need to repeat?" Skull sighed, exasperated.

"Sorry," Kilic apologized.

Skull deeply sighed. "Maybe this time the princess will listen." Later he looks back outside. "If she survives."

Darlene climbed on her brown Caspian horse and begin to marches. "Is everyone ready?" She demanded, wanted to know her soldier's precision.

"They ready, my lady." said the servant boy, bowing his head. "And waiting for your commanded."

"Good," Darlene sound pleased. "I'll be in a moment."

"As you wish," he left the princess.

Once the servant boy is gone, Darlene become alone. Only look back on a peculiar tent. "I'll show those two I mean business"

She rides to her armies while she muttered. "I don't understand why those two talking about. Of course, the Serpent Witch still in her castle. Why shouldn't she, especially since she's commanding her soldiers?"

Watching her left, Skull lower his head and pray. "May Heaven protect you, my dear."

Later, he stared back outside for a moment. "Cause you needing once you realize the truth."

"What will happen to us?" Kilic asked, worryingly.

"I'm afraid I have no answer," Skull retorted. "But don't worry, I'll figure something."

"Pray that you do," his companion hopes. "We need to complete our mission to find a princess for the journey if our quest is successful."

Skull hum in agreement. "True. So true."

Darlene rides her horse as she's ready to lead her soldiers to battle.

"I'll show those two," Darlene muttered, angrily. "The Serpent Witch still lived in that tower of her's. No doubt about it."

Full of determination and pride in her eyes, not knowing price she'll pay. Even the cost of her soldiers's lives.

"And, once we're done, I'll bring her head to them." She vowed and marches to battle.

At the Witch's Tower, the Serpent Witch - Belinda was looking through her magic water. And saw an army, led by the princess herself.

"So Rusea's heir is changing," she sounds amused, but her mind is somewhere else. "But where's that skeleton wizard?" She researched and found no walking skeleton.

"Did they hide it?" She tilted an eyebrow, confusingly.
