"You have given me the best news in the world, my father is alive.   I'm only twenty-three, I don't want to be King.   My real name is Joseph.   Uncle Hance kidnapped me at the age of three.  He locked me up in the wine cellar than a couple of months ago, they moved me this cave.   He told my father that I fell by the side of a mountain.   He said he searches everywhere, but my body was never found.   Go figures, of course, they're not going to find my body, I wasn't dead.  Now here I am, having a conversation.    

As a child, my Uncle realized my abilities and powers.   He thought that no freak would take over the Kingdom so decided to move me out of his way.  My Uncle no longer calls me Joseph, he's been calling Jack for the past twenty years.   Recently he forced me to freeze a couple of towns.   He really doesn't care who or what he makes me freeze.   I really feel the only reason he does all this is for his amusement.  I kind of do, feel sorry for him.  That man doesn't love anyone, but the throne." explained Jack     

The others just kept quiet and listened as the young prince spoke.  Jack took a break then continue talking, "When I was a child he said that my parents couldn't afford me any longer.  That I was his responsibility,  I never believe him.   Why was I always surround by mountains of hot coal,   No one treats a child in that way,   When I finally found out the truth, I was stronger, then I've managed to escape.  Somehow he was able to fool and that lead to my capture.   He said that he will make my father disappear before he ever found out what he had done to me.   

Then he put me in this cave.  After months of being chained up, I'd overheard some of the guards talking.  They mention that all the male royalty were missing, or dying in some kind of way.  That's when I knew I had to find a way out of here and stop him.  But with these chains, they stay hot.  I can keep them cold but can make them freeze enough to break them" explained Jack    "Well maybe, we can help.  Tell what we can do your Majesty" said Alexsander with a friendly smile    "He's right, at your service  Your Majesty." said Lucas also smiling    

"Thank you.  you both will be greatly rewarded.  I was so afraid of him, but I have man up, I'm no longer afraid.   I'll let you know in a minute when you may help me." said Jack as he started to whistle a very loud pitch sound.   The two prisoners began to scream as the patch was damaging to their ears.

"Hey, Hey what's all that about.  We said we were going to help you," said Alexsander as he tried to cover his ears with no success.    

Jack glanced at them, then he continued.     "Listen, kid, you need to stop that, the noise is going to make us deaf.  Then how are we going to help you, if we can hear you?" asked Lucas as she always tried to cover his ears with no success.   

"Sorry about that, but we're getting out of here." said Jack as he looked at the distance as though he was waiting for someone,      "My father is alive.  Do you happen to know what cave he's in?  We must save our King, really, no joke I don't want to be king.  I'm too young." asked Jack as he stared into the wind. 

Then seconds later a beautiful White Bird about three feet high.  Her wings looked move like teardrops flying through the wind.  With a shined so beautiful as crystal.  She stood on the window and started to speak to Jack,  "You called me.   You know that I been looking for you for a while now.   He didn't  you called before?" asked  Crystal

That's a beautiful bird, even better he talks.   It doesn't bite, right." asked Alexsander as he looked at Crystal a little afraid.   "Don't worry buddy I don't eat humans, and if I did you wouldn't be my type," said Crystal as she walked in his direction.  

"I advise you to shut your mouth, it looks like she coming for you",said Lucas as he turned his face not looking at the bird   "You know you are both lucky that the only way we're getting out of here it  will be with your help, cause really for all I care you both can stay hanging up there,"said Crystal as she got close to them.    "She may best friend, I was so alone for so long that, I create Crystal.  Well anyway, I created half of her.  She was left behind by her mother, she was born without a leg.  Hance found her and gave her to me.  He told me that'll be my dinner for that night, then he thro\ew me two apples and then locked the gate behind him.  I figure, well was I only seven at the time, I thought my magic might change her and make her grow the missing leg.  Then, it was even better,  This is my Crystal    

"Oh, right, don't you think you're rubbing it pretty deep," said Crystal as she started to peak the wood that held the hoops that held the chains.  "Oh, Jesus, what a relief for a minute I really thought you were  going for my eyes."said Lucas as he had a tonne of relief   "You know, do remind me, that if I ever do decide to eat eyeballs, you will be the first,"said Crystal as she then continued to pick on  the wood until it started to break  in pieces.   Little by little piece by piece.       "Sorry,  I'll keep quiet," said Lucas

"One question your Majesty, why didn't you call Crystal before?  She could have gotten you out of here a king time ago." asked Alexsander    "Not really, those chains are as hot as lava.  If she gets too close she can burn badly.  I wasn't taking take the chance." explained Jack   "And I do thank you for that." said Crystal as the first piece of wood broke apart completely.   Luca's hand fell to his side, "Oh, wow I do owe you one." said Lucas started moving his hand around to remove the stick and help his circulation.    

He was then able to reach for an ax that was by the firewood.  He started to ax away on the chains on his leg.   While Crystal started to pick apart the wood that was on Alexsander chains.  "Lucas when you're completely loose.  Look over, You see the bucket of water,  with that ax. you have to break those buckets and sure the coal spills out, then pour that water, then keep refilling the bucket, until I let you know when I'm ready," said Jack     Then Lucas continue what he was doing, until he was finally loose.   He then ran to the bucket of coal and started to hit it with an ax,  until it broke apart, then he ran to the other and did the same.  He then poured about five buckets of water waiting for Jack to say when.....
