Chapter 14: Attempted Rescue

The crowd hushed. Leon Oskaur's face paled in realization.
"Where could she be if she wasn't with us?" Leon Oskaur questioned, as if Senkina knew.
"I don't know I was awake three more minutes then you. I didn't even though where we were." Senkina countered.
Everyone talked amongst themselves. They were trying to figure out where they could have put Jickallyn. Some thought she got taken to Dead Man's Forest again. Some thought they were killing her first. Senkina stood up to look down on the crowd.
"We need to find Jickallyn and bring her back to safety. Who volunteers to help go back to Our Leader's castle to find her?" Senkina asked the crowd.
At first no one moved, but then Leon Oskaur stepped forward. After him, Jache stepped forward. Then, the boy with scars, Tante, and Harta. The last person to step forward was a girl with neon green hair.
Senkina stepped towards her volunteer rescue group.
"Thanks for volunteering. Can I know your names and powers?" Senkina motioned to the two people she didn't know and Harta.
"I'm Grenta. I can disguise as anyone I touch." The girl with green hair responded. She looked confident, like this happened every day.
The boy with scars spoke next, "I'm Sotne. I can transform to beasts." He acted very sheepishly, like he had to talk to his crush.
Harta stood for minute then chimed in, "Well, I'm Harta, I can move objects with my mind, but only objects that I can lift in real life." She stood very awkwardly. Her skinny frame made her power seem nearly worthless, but Senkina knew better.
"Well since I know you who I'm working with and what I'm working with. I think I have a basic plan. We split up into two groups. One of the groups will be me, Harta, Leon Oskaur, and one of Tarte. The other will be Grenta, Jache, Sotne, and the other Tarte. Any questions so far?" Senkina explained, pausing for the information to sink in.
"Yea, why is there going to be two Tarte?" Sotne asked.
"Because he can duplicate. So if we each have a person that can duplicate then if we need to fight, we can fight. Any other questions?" Senkina responded.
Silence surrounded the group, the other earth people had forgotten about the problem.
"Good. When we split up, we look for Jickallyn. If one group finds Jickallyn then you will make bird noises. Me and Grenta will be the leaders and the people that will check rooms for dangers. Harta and Jache will be the protection. They will help us avoid the guards. Leon Oskaur and Sotne will be the primary fighters. And Tarte will be the person to help if we need to fight for a way out." Senkina continued to explain.
The group nodded in agreement. Senkina turned to look back at the group. They all were happily chitchatting amongst themselves. They all looked like they had moved on from one of their friends being in the clutches of their enemy.
Leon Oskaur put his hand on her shoulder. She turned back to him. He looked at her in reassurance. She walked away knowing that she was going to save someone.
———————————————————————————
They were back in the castle. No guards were around, thankfully. They walked into the walkway. Senkina pointed the other group to the left while they went right. They nodded in understanding and left remaining silent the whole way. Senkina began to walk the other way. She heard some guards coming. She motioned to Harta.
Harta understood and began to concentrate. Senkina heard the guard yell and run the other way. Senkina and her group moved forward. She walked into a room to see a storage unit. It was full of blue armor and the hilt of swords. Senkina snuck out and walked over to the next room.
She peered in. It took everything out of her to not gasp. It was room like the cave, full of at least one hundred beds. The beds weren't different colors through, they all were a disgusting blue. A few of the beds were occupied. Senkina's curiosity was overwhelming her instincts.
She stepped forward.
She luckily stopped herself before she woke up a possible threat. She backtracked to the group and silently walked to the next room. She wanted to try to get as far as she could from the room, so that she could escape her temptation.
She walked room to room finding almost no people. Senkina started to become a little suspicious at the lack of people.
If this guy was so powerful, why wouldn't guards fill the halls? Senkina thought to herself.
She walked further on. The group silently following her. She peeked into giant room it looked like a meeting hall. She saw that it was packed with guards. They were of all kinds of hair, gender, and height. The only thing in common was the blue armor on all of them.
She looked to see who they were looking at. She was greeted with the site of a tall, rectangular shaped man. His purple eyes seemed to pierce your soul with how cold they were. His perfectly groomed hair was chestnut brown, a color Senkina had only seen on herself.
She turned to Leon Oskaur and gestured for him to look. He peered in and turned a ghost white, his hair flaring to a forest green. He turned to Senkina and motioned for them to leave. Senkina ignored him for a minute. She wanted to see what they could be gathering for.
Maybe they saw we are gone and are making search teams to hunt us down. Senkina thought. As she listened in, she felt Leon Oskaur pulling on her sleeve. She swatted it away.
"And I want to introduce you to the key to us finding the Telesa and destroying them once and for all." The man yelled at the guards below. He motioned for someone to come on stage.
Senkina moved into the room more so that she could see the people on the stage better. Leon Oskaur tried to pull her out into the hallway, but Senkina freed herself.
She looked up to see three people: Sotna, Grenta, and Jickallyn.
