This is a direct continuation of the last chapter.

Suddenly, an object flew rotating, like a flying saucer, slicing the throats of the guards on a perfect arc, a sizable number of a dozen guards tumbled to the ground, blood fled their necks.

"Rode!" shouted Tiki, his heart rejoiced, as he saw his sister upon a horse, with a grinning stranger, who held a jesters aura. "I just knew you'd come!" lied Tiki.

"Isn't it a little bit too early to eat each other's arse, Tiki?" responded Rode, as fierce and offensive as she could be, her sword was unsheathed. "Get on your horse, Tiki, we're getting out of here."

May was thoroughly perplexed, she didn't know if was to be excited by the odd strangers arrival and intervention or not. "What in Hera's name is going on here, who are this people, Tafiki? Friends of yours?" asked she, Tiki didn't respond, he only gestured her towards the horse.

Rode was relentless in battle, she scurried her mount forward, gliding her sword at the guards, cutting and injuring as best as she could, clearly creating a pathway for them to go through in the midst of hostile guards, that tried to constrain them.

"Yay! More people to kill!" yelled Guero, having the time of her life, one would think she was a psychopath, but aren't we all? She was simply having fun.

She had ring swords on both hands, and was swerving and thrusting deep into a guard's chest that got close, upon her horse as she was galloping on the pathway Rode had created.

Rode was upfront, May and Tiki scurried in the middle, with a screaming May; who definitely had had her own fill of violence today, and lastly Guero, who was clearly entranced with seeing guards grimacing in pain.

There was a major flaw in their hybrid plan, their all-put-together-hastely plan, after their horses had trotted past the first batch of guards, a setback restricted them from going further.

The boundary walls was the only place that had a few guards left, and soon enough they were stuck, cornered to be exact, from all sides came the raging guards, heading from the East, West and finally South, and at their immediate North was the entirety of the boundary wall; huge, thick and too high to easily surmount.

"Shit!" blasphemed Tiki. "We're seriously on trouble right now. Yeah, so dead."

"I knew you people were crazy, Holy Demeter, how did I end up this way. I thought you were shielding me against idiotic people like this lots!" sid May, her thoughts were disorienting, and fear rummaged her heart.

"Tiki! Shut your girlfriend up or I'll do it for her," yelled Rode, she had already decided that May was a pain in the arse, and she lost all hope of liking the vestal. "If we die, we die like warriors. With our heads out high, and with bravery befitting soldiers of 'Ishtar.'"

"I have a was." whispered Guero, to herself. Although her smile had vanished, she adorned a quizzical frown.

"Did you just tell me to shut up?!" screamed May, to Rode, declaring there and then Rode was a natural enemy. "Do you who I am? I'm a holy vestal, and I shall not be treated so disrespectfully."

"I have a way." said Guero again, this time she uttered it a bit louder, but no one seemed to notice, they ignored her still.

"I think you both have to look at the situation we're in, and act accordingly. This is really not the time to bicker," said Tiki loudly, trying to blow off the spark of outburst, trying and failing miserably.

The guards were inching closer now, although more cautious than before, neither wanting to lose their heads, or worse, answering to the powers-that-be how they let the trouble makers escape.
