           One day, at 3am, I heard explosions going off. I ran out, with a dagger in my hand. It seems that Leo had actually set up boobie traps with the touch activated gunpowder. I ran out into the conflict. The king was a master swordsman, fighting off three soldiers at the same time, and he was doing it with ease.

            I stabbed a soldier in the gut and grabbed his sword, just in time to block a sword. I punched him in the face. I saw Reya fighting off a soldier. She was losing as all she had was a dagger and the soldier had a battleaxe. I ran up to her and stabbed him in the gut.

            "Don't you EVER, mess with my friends" I growled, before pulling my sword out and kicking him in the stomach.

            "Th-thanks." Reya said shakily.

            "Yeah. Your welc-AH!" I was stabbed in the gut. I felt a numbing sensation come over me. Poison. I let loose a guttural cry. I heard surprised shouting and cheers.

             My eyes dimmed. The last thing I saw was Reya, standing over me. 

            "I-I'm sorry Re-Reya," I paused to cough up blood,"I, I couldn't h-help you. Te-tell the rest th-that I'm sorry."

             Then the world went black.
