Chapter 19 - Information

Days later the five boys stayed at a cottage just blocks away from the castle. Each boy had gotten their own rooms inside the cottage, along with their own weapons.

"So apparently Ad- I mean Prince Sky gave us these because... what now?" Tyler asked blankly.

"He said the head swordsman and axemen, along with a few other fighters are gonna be training us before we go out again." Sub responded. "Were you listening?"

"Where's Carlo?" Jorge asked.

"Sky said he was gonna stay at the castle until his wound was healed..." Chris said, walking to the balcony of his cottage. Sighing, he saw a girl with red, long hair, with olive green eyes and a village apron with a basket in her hands.

"Aahhhahhhh...."

"Uh... is Chris okay?" Sub asked.

"He's drooling, that's obviously a sign if he's hungry or he's getting some type of... what are you looking at Chris your mouth is watering." Tyler rolled his eyes as he looked where Chris was looking.

"What? What is it?" Jorge questioned, with a quiet grin on Tyler's face.

"Somebody is in loooove~" Tyler sang, dancing around with chuckles in between.

"Ahaha, that's cute. Chris you should say hi to her!" Jorge smiled.

"Wha- no! I'm too awkward. What if she doesn't like me?!" Chris exclaimed, snapping out of his daydream and wiping his drool away.

"Aw c'mon Chris! You weren't that awkward when you met us!"

...

"Alright, Carlo... this might hurt." A voice said to Carlo. He was in the infirmary in the castle, a medic tending to his wound. He had blue hair with orange tips, a blue scarf covering his mouth and medic clothing designed with beautiful cloth. His pants were colored gray with his pale skin and his eyes as blue as ever.

"Ow-... Thank you... uh what's your name?" Carlo said.

"Medic Quentin, at your service. I'm the royal medic in the kingdom." He introduced.

"Oh... well thank you."

Quentin looked back at the door, and looked back at Carlo, his emotion not changing.

"What did Adam tell you?" Quentin's tone changed. Carlo's eyes widened, realizing he met one of the people who knew Prince Sky's real name.

"He told me and my friends about the freedom of this place..."

"I see. Adam has a point... this place is full of captive walls. The king, King Jin has been craving lack of freedom because he wants more weaponry, more money, more everything. The population of this village is over the top."

"I see..."

After that, Archer Mitch burst through the door, panting and looking back on the door. He then ran to Carlo and hugged him. Behind Mitch were two boys, one with brown hair, a brown mask over his face and an axe strapped around his waist. The other had a gray cape with a dark purple lining, a hood with nearly the same designs with a white crown and light gray gloves with bright jewels on the seam.

"Oh god oh god oh god Carlo I-I'm so sorry! I-I was just... following orders from the king."

"Whoa whoa! M-Mitch, it's okay. I know everything now..." Carlo gazed his eyes over to the two others that had entered the room.

"Who are you guys?"

"Jerome the Royal Axeman, at your service." The one with the brown mask had introduced, bowing.

"The Royal Sorcerer, Seto." The one with the cape had said. A small silence as Jerome cleared his throat and took off his mask. Seto took off his hood and breathed.

"That's better. So, Carlo. Why did you leave your home?" Mitch asked.

"My friends and I wanted to leave our homes... we didn't like where we lived." Another silence.

"...Carlo, get your friends. We all need to talk." Seto said, his tone not changing. He faced his own friends.

"Get Adam and the others as well. I have a plan."

This chapter was hard to write so I'm so sorry that this chapter seemed shitty.
