More and more black soldiers disappeared to the ocean of orange and red.

The four soldiers knew this and spoke amongst themselves of a plan. One of which I was not invited to hear.

I closed my hand and held it over my heart. "Coyote, why am I here? How does this answer my wish? It doesn't."

A swift wind of cold air filled the room. "They are the ones stopping your quest. Leave the tower and head south to the Alicross border. Once there-."

A very loud explosion at the base of the tower shook all of us out of our minds. A loud roar of an army echoed up the tower.

I looked at the ground of soldiers for a plan, but all of them froze in their place. "Well? Do something!"

Kikiro glanced at me then his brother. "We are not fully soldiers; we are...in training Miss Erilye."

My jaw dropped and I squeezed my hands. "Y-You have the full set of armor! You have weapons and tactics! What was your plan for getting away?"

The tall one deeply bowed. "Blame our situation Miss Erilye, not us."

I walked forward to the edge of the top than hung over the staircase. A wave of orange and red ants could be seen crawling up the spiral staircase.

"Coyote," I whispered. "You must help us."

At the front of the wave the leader tripped and fell to the bottom of the stairs. Once he touched the bottom, he didn't move again.

"Seriously!"

The view of the stairs vanished as I was pulled back into the room of the top.

"You must get out," Mark ordered into my ear as he dragged me towards the boarded window. He grasped the wood and yanked it back to reveal a perfect view of the win for the Montregons. "Get onto the window."

"No!" I yanked back and glared at him. "You want me to jump to my death?"

"It's the only choice. They cannot get you. You must have the chance of life if you jump."

"You are the last of the Rodorican forces! Give up! We don't have to fight anymore."

"Go!" Mark grabbed my arm and threw me back towards the window. "We will not have you be taken Princess Erilye!"

I turned back toward to stairs.

A tall man held the widest grin and the most savage eyes. He opened his arms out. "Princess Erilye? Oh, now, this is too easy."
