The Sleeping Prince

Chapter 2

Tie-up, drag and push against a tent. Skull became furious with his travel company.

"Well, this is a fine mess we're in." Kilic tries to light the mood, nervously looking at his companion.

"By 'we' you mean you." Skull hissed, full of rage. "Also, did anyone tell you to look before speaking?!"

Kilic knew he'll get yelled. "Thank god, you don't have skin or eyes." Unaware he's speaking out loud. "Boy, that'll be a sight."

Later, a coughed caught his attention. He decreases, turns and realizes his error. True, that Skull hasn't either a skin or eyes. But Kilic can tell what Skull is thinking or feeling by his tone. Or, reaction.

"What did you said!!!??" Skull explodes in rages. Unaware, the attention he drew from outside.

"Sorry, Skull." Kilic apologizes, both nervous and frighten. "I didn't mean to speak out loud."

"What am I doing to do with you, Kilic?" Skull huffed. He turns his attention away. "You're completely hopeless on your own."

That comment hurt him. But he knows he deserves it. "Again, I'm sorry."

They remain silent. As they wondered what will happen to them, now that they caught themselves capture. Though they were thankfully, it was Princess Darlene's army, and not Belinda's.

"So, what are they planning to do with us, Skull?" Unable to hold his curiosity. "We still have a mission to complete."

Skull shrieked in rages. He knows their mission and can't complete while they're in prison. "I'll figure of something."

If Skull does have skin, Kilic could tell his eyebrows twitch.

"Well, if you don't," Kilic add something in their conferences. "We sure to tell them about our mission."

Darlene and her generals were in a meeting, discussion battle plans. Minus two intruders. They still don't know why they're here. But they suspect they'll get their answer soon.

"Basely, our defenses are holding." The general clarified it. "If this keeps up, I might lose our defends. We need to act."

"Even, if we do." Darlene answered. "We won't stand a chance against the Serpent Witch's army."

Another general, a female, comment. "And, what our spies said, she created her army."

"She created them?!" The previous general doesn't believe.

"With what?!," she hisses at them. "With clay or dead animals?!"

Disguise by it, no one expected the witch's be merciless. But they wondered.

"Possibly that skeleton belong to her?" One of the general implied. "He's nothing expected bones."

"True," Darlene agreed. "But it doesn't explain why she sends her demons after him? There must be a reason."

"It can't." The general replied. "Might be a trap."

Darlene won't admit, but the general has a point. She remembers how she caught when she saw what's underneath the hood. At first, she thought she expects a face, but instead she saw a skull.

After Kilic make appears, Darlene became suspicious of the two. "Don't make me repeat myself! Again; stated your business or I'll declared you both spies of the Serpent Witch."
