Amazion: The Battle of Fortrest [EDITING]

The early dew morning

Derekyanu's Viewpoint:

I was awakened by the sound of two low voices talking outside the tent. I didn't really know who it was. Actually, I didn't care who it was either. I just needed a few more minutes. But apparently, their conversation was so intriguing that it was impossible for me to stop eavesdropping. I can't help it!

"Good-good morning my King. You're-you're up early!"

Argoeux. That man's voice can be heard from a mile away. Never quiet though.

"Earlier than I thought. May I have a word with you inside please?"

Hm? Now who could this be? I took a small peep and was gladdened by the sight.

UNCLE DALE!!! I knew you were alive! Some part of me just knew... Huh, this sure made my day. But it appears that he's kind of troubled with something...

"Oh, but it's cooler out here. And besides, you don't want to to go in there, it's rather stuffy. It's full of blood and all my patients smells and such. Yeah.. we don't need that pesky tent..."

"OH SHIT! They're gonna come inside?!?! Ughhh not now! I can't be seen looking like this! Oh no... not to mention... Tina'e..."

Luckily, Argoeux kept him away for a bit. But I couldn't unhear what they have both talked about.

"Where's Aloria? Is she safe Argo?"

"Safe as she'll ever be your highness."

"Great. Good. Any word about Tina'e? Did you find her?"

When Argoeux was about to answer, a sol scout quickly approached the two of them.

"My lord, huh, huh, huh, your-your, ughh, presence is needed right-right away. Please hurry!"

"I'm-I'm truly sorry Argo, but I'll have to talk with you later. I need to attend to more serious matters."

And with a quick nod, they both left, leaving Argoeux alone, speechless out near the tent.

"My mother... She's HERE?!?! I have to see her right away! I- I couldn't believe it! Oh damn, but Argoeux's coming back. I have to pretend I didn't hear any of that." I said to myself.

And so I immediately pulled back the covers and lightly closed my eyes.

"Save it boy..."

"How did you know?!?"

"Your covers were never on you, to begin with your highness..."

"How long did you know?"

"Long enough, my prince...."

"Nevertheless, I tried. Better than nothing right?"

"Better than nothing." Argoeux repeated. "You're not supposed to be awake. Go back to sleep!" The old physician scolded.

"I can't! Once I'm up, I'm up! You know that!

By the time I was able to stretch my legs, I noticed Tina'e.

She was softly breathing with her hair on her face. And as I lightly pulled it back-up, I saw her mark. It went 6 inches down her face. I pitied her. I just wish that I could've saved her but instead, she saved me. I hope she gets up soon. We have absolutely a lot to talk about.

Elijah's Viewpoint:

I woke up to a rope relentlessly tugging on my arm. The rope around my wrist was shaking violently as ever. And once I looked up, the lady I spoke with yesterday began to silently mouth the words:

"G-E-T U-P. You need to leave, N-O-W..."

"But how can I when I'm strapped to a tree like this?!?" I mouthed back.

Right as I said this, she tossed down on what appeared to be a dagger. Still beside me, my companion quietly reached for it and handed it to me soon afterwards. And by the time I was free, I heard yet another voice coming from above. It was a man's I presumed. With a low and nondeafeaned voice, I tried to listen close to their conversation.

"Aloria???"

"OH! Good Morning my King! What are you doing up here at a beautiful morning such as this?"

"I was about to ask you the same thing..."

While they were talking, from afar I noticed the woman making weird hand gestures back at me. I didn't know what they meant but I later on realized, that those were signals to leave. She was showing me where to go. And in order to give me enough time to escape, she just kept talking with the man.

"I- I just simply needed some fresh air that's all! It was getting rather humid in there. But how about you then?"

"What-are-you-doing-exactly?

"A distraction...", I muttered to myself as I mounted on Dahx.

"Umm, errmm- what-what do you mean?!? OH! OH! I'm-I'M STRETCHING! Yes! See LOOK!!! ONE UP, SIDE-DOWN and then use them arms! THERE SEE! I feel much better NOW!"

I couldn't help myself but let out a soft laugh.

And by the time both of them looked down, we were long gone.
