Chapter 28

Chapter 28 - Break in, Hide Out

"We need to find a way to distract the guards and Jin without him knowing of what I'm about to do." Quentin whispered. "The girls- where are they?"

"Um... the blond haired guy who had yelled out her name... Ashley, I think, is in a room on the second floor... the girl named Lasata is in a cell with someone else in the caverns... and Lady Jess is I think in Jin's room..." Krisalee responded timidly.

Quentin recieved chills, questioning Jin's sanity for locking Jess up in his room. He snapped back and scanned the room for any entrances to the girls. He saw one leading upstairs to Jess and Ashley, and another one leading to the kitchen and infirmary.

"Hm... Krisalee, I have an idea... maybe you can act like you grew ill all of a sudden and I can take you. I am the Royal Medic after all." Quentin said. "But first, get me a weapon... maybe a daggar." Krisalee grinned a bit, and nodded. She first walked to the throne and sneakingly took one of Adam's daggar. She then walked off the place where they were, and instantly tripped, acting pale and cold.

"H-Help..." she coughed out. The guards came to her, surrounding. Quentin grinned a bit, noticing the acting was convincing.

"Back away!" Jin commanded, raising from his throne. He shot down a glare at Quentin, who looked at him with worry.

"Quentin. She's in no good condition. Bring her to the infirmary. I'll have Max bring you there so you don't have any good ideas." He demanded.

"Max?"

A knight came out, a spear in his hand, his helmet in the other. He had red hair, with a goatee the same color and a necklace with the letter 'Z' on it. Quentin glared at him for a few seconds, and nodded as he picked up Krisalee and lead her to the infirmary, Max marching behind them. As they reached the infirmary, Max closed the door and stood there like a guard.

'Shoot... how am I gonna get Krisalee and I out of here when he's there?!' Quentin thought, bringing Krisalee to the infirmary bed to let her rest. She continued acting pale as Quentin did his regular testing for illness.

"Well... she just has a large fever. I'll let her rest for a few-" Quentin stopped, a spear shooting to the wall near Quentin's head. His eyes widened, slowly turning to Max, who had anger in his eyes.

"GOD! WHY!?" Max screamed.

"A-Are you okay...?" Quentin asked, scared.

"Are you kidding me?! Of course I'm not!" Max yelled, his eyes having a burning touch. "Why would John do that..."

"John...? You mean that guy you threw in the cellar?"

"YES! He betrayed our kingdom, broke Jin's trust and my friendship with him! It makes me want to rip his head apart! Why even start a rebellion!? You should know the answers you timid bastard! Answer me!"

"O-Okay, okay... first off... please calm down. Breathe and let me explain why." Quentin said, slowly nudging Krisalee to give the daggar. She slowly did, while Max's eyes were closed, breathing heavily.

"O-Okay... now tell me." Max demanded.

"Yeah, 'bout that."

Quentin grabbed the spear off the wall and threw it, grabbing onto Max's armor and pinning him to the wall. Krisalee got up and kicked Max in the face, as Quentin took the final blow and nearly took the daggar into his face.

"Speak out another word and this will go into your skull." Quentin said, a dark tone in his voice and his words continuing to be muffled in his scarf. Max nodded shakingly, as Quentin stabbed the daggar into the wall near his face, and let it go.

"You better do exactly as I say. Stay here, stay silent. Make a word you are dead where you stand. Exactly... where you stand."

Max gulped, and nodded. Krisalee took the spear off of him, seeing a bit of blood was drawn. Quentin gestured him to follow him, as Quentin pushed away a drawer in the infirmary that lead downstairs to the underground.

"Krisalee said Lasata was in here with someone in the caverns. That might mean the cellar where everyone is." Quentin analzyed.

"Actually, she's with someone else. When we threw her in here she was with someone else. Someone who was really... powerful." Max corrected.

"Oh. That might be Seto then. Of course he would be stuck under the underground due to his powers." Quentin said.

"What got him his powers anyway?" Krisalee asked curiously.

"His father was the royal wizard, but he died in the midst of the war... he didn't tell me until I met him." Quentin answered.

"Oh..."

More steps and finally, they had reached the mines that had stood underneath the castle walls.

'He has to be here somewhere...'

Quentin lurked around the mines, following the torches, Max following and Krisalee behind him to make sure he doesn't have any ideas. Quentin stopped, seeing an engraved wall.

"Hm... of course Jin wouldn't know about this. Krisalee, do you have that daggar?"

"Mhm." Krisalee nodded, handing it over as Quentin placed it in the gravings, as the stone opened and lead into a new room with obsidian walls and a button on a pedestal in the middle. Quentin walked up to the pedestal and pushed the button, a door opening to a final room across from him where two people where there, standing.

"Seto! Lasata!"

"Oh my goodness! Thank you!" Lasata exclaimed.

"I knew you would come for us first." Seto said, smirking. His eyes rolled over to Max, who was scared.

"He'll know why our rebellion is our cause." Seto said, putting on his hood and summoning a small ball of purple smoke.

"Let's get Ashley and Jess, and we'll get the crew back!" Quentin cheered, smirking. The rest smiled (except for Max, he was dead scared) as they teleported away into the next one to save.
