Claudia and Soren where taken to go talk to their father. I don't know who he is but I already hate him.
Ezran let Kyra request an audience with him.
She roams through the castle, being accompanied by guards the whole way.
You walk into the kings throne room to see Ezran, sitting on the throne.
"Leave us alone." Ezran told the guards to leave.
After they hesitantly left the room and closed the door behind them, Ezran runs up to Kyra and hugs her.
"I missed you." He spoke.
"I missed you too buddy." You say as you return the hug.
"I'm so glad to see you're okay- wait! Is everyone else okay?"
"They're all okay. They should be in Xadia by now."
Kyra let's out a sigh of relief. Thank god her friends were all okay.
She wouldn't have been able to forgive herself if something happened to Rayla while she was gone.
"How are you taking the whole being king thing. I'm sure it's not easy." Kyra sits on the floor and motions for him to sit next to her.
"It's been really hard. Everyone is expecting so much out of me, I'm scared I won't live up to my fathers name." Ezran says, sitting on the floor now.
She holds his hand and gives it a tight squeeze.
"I'm sure you'll be a great king Ezran. Out of all the people I've met in my life, you have the kindest heart."
She says with a warm smile.
He smiles back.
"Sorry, times up." The blonde haired woman walks into the room.
"Aww okay" Ezran gets up.
"I'll always be here if you need to talk, just check the dungeon." She jokingly says.
Ezran laughs.
"Thank you."
The elf is escorted back to her holding cell.
To her surprise, Soren and Claudia aren't back yet. She assumes that they got released.
She decides to sleep to pass the time.
When she wakes up, Soren is standing in front of her cell.
"H-how are you feeling" he asks.
"Not terrible, considering I'm in prison." You reply.
"How'd it go with your dad?"
"Not great. He's insisting that he didn't tell me to kill the princes, and Claudia didn't believe me when I said that he did." He looks stressed.
"I believe you." She reaches through the cell bars to hold his hand.
He blushes slightly, then squeezes her hand.
"Thank you.... Thank you for always believing in me when no one else did."
"Of course." She gives him a warm smile.
She then notices she's still holding his hand.
She quickly takes her hand back and blushes.
"I'm gonna talk to the council and try to convince them to let you go."
She nods.
Soren would visit every few hours, just talking with her about nonsense before he had to go back to his duties.
The next day he walked in with a worried look on his face.
"What's wrong?"
"They put Ezran in jail, actually in the cell right next to yours." Soren explains.
"Hi." You hear Ezran say.
"What? Why?" She asks.
"Because.... My dad is king now."
"What?"
"But don't worry, I'm here to help. I'm gonna get you guys out of here." He smiles at them.
They smile back at him.
He unlocks their cells and leads them down a secret passage way.
"Why are you doing this? Helping us." Ezran questions.
Soren stalls walking and faces Ezran.
"Your dad was a good king. As crown guard, it was my job to make sure that nothing happened to him. No matter what. So, when the moonshadow elves came, I did everything I could to protect him. But it wasn't enough. I just don't want to fail you too." Soren explains.
Once again your heart aches for the man, he's really blaming himself for all of this.
"Thanks, Soren." The king replies.
You guys continue walking until you find a passage way up that goes through the towns well.
Soren then takes Ezran and bait on his shoulders and climbs out of the well.
He holds out a hand for Kyra. She takes it as he helps her up.
"Kay, listen up. We're gonna have to walk across the bridge without anyone seeing you three." He walks toward a cart full of hay.
"How are we gonna do that?" Ezran asks.
"Don't worry, I brought disguises."
He holds out brown bags for you to take.
"Um there's nothing in here." She says confused as to what he has planned.
"Yeah. You climb in, and you'll be disguised as stuff in a sack." He clicks his tongue and points a finger gun at you both.
The elf face plams.
"How about we hide in the hay, and you just pull the cart?" Ezran suggests.
Soren nods.
Kyra, Ezran, and bait all get in the hay as Soren begins to pull the cart across the bridge.
"Horses need hay. I am bringing hay to the horses!"
"Soren please shut up." The elf mutters.
"Soren, wait!" One of the guards speaks up.
Ezran and Kyra share a worried look as bait starts to glow.
"The hay.... It's glowing." The woman guard points out.
"Yeah. Yeah, it is. So?" He responds.
"Nothing. It's pretty neat." The other guard adds.
"Thanks, man. Hay's the best." He responds, continuing to pull the cart.
Kyra and Ezran both let out a sigh of relief.
Soren pulls the cart all the way to the woods where no one could see you guys.
"Come on out, everybody." Soren says.
What does he mean by everybody?
Three figures emerge from the bushes.
One of them was Corvus. The other two you didn't know.
"Corvus! I'm glad to see your safe." The elf rushes over to him.
"Glad to see your doing well too." He responds.
"Wow! I can't believe you all worked together to save me and Kyra." Ezran begins.
"Credit where credit is due. Soren was the mastermind." Corvus speaks.
"Mastermind. I like it. That can be my new nickname. It even rhymes. Sor-ine the mastermind."  Soren exclaims.
The elf starts laughing.
"What?" He asks her why she's laughing at his brilliant new nickname.
"You're just suck a dork." She playfully punches his shoulder.
He smiles.
"I have to go, or my dad will know something is up. These guys we take you to the rendezvous point."
"Thanks, Soren. You're the best crown guard a king could ask for." Ezran hugs him.
Soren hugs him back and motions for Kyra to join to.
Ehh why not. She hugs them tightly.
They all back away from the hug and wave goodbye.
And just like that, Soren was out of sight.
