Chapter 59 - Captured again...

King Valentino had been taken completely not against him will, he was absolutely enraged this had happened, the Zorka soldiers had grabbed him, knocked him out, and threw him in the back of their wagon, like some sack of potatoes, he had woken up with his head bleeding thanks to the soldier's extreme brutality, he sat in the cart tied up with rope and chains, he was thinking to himself just 2 months ago he was royalty, King of Columbus and now he had been beaten, captured, tortured, humiliated, disrespected, starved, betrayed, hunted and now imprisoned for the 3rd time, King Valentino had enough, he began yelling and begging to be released, he even bribed and offered Gold to be released but like Columbus, these soldiers were loyal to their kingdom.Servic was just furious his keys were gone, he immediately jumped onto Morpheus and said "Let's go to the den and make it quick", They both at lightning speed took off heading back. Minutes later, they arrived, Servic jumped off and ran for the Den, Once inside, Servic saw the cell wide open, " HE'S GONE " he yelled. Morpheus stayed outside and quickly transformed himself into his earth form, he closed his big red eyes and felt the ground, he could sense movement nearby very easily. He knew where Servic was and could sense another set of recent footprints, he followed the prints slowly until they reached a nearby river. " Servic" yelled the Dragon. Servic quickly rushes out and is surprised when he saw Morpheus in the Distance in his earth form, " What are you looking for?" he asked, "Look down", Servic grasped his spear tight, he closed his eyes and slowed his breathing, the spear began to glow a swampy green and Servic began to turn to earth from head to toe. He kneeled down and with 1 hand on his spear and the other on the ground, Servic could feel the footprints. Morpheus had seen. They both stood by the river and said "Something happened here" said Servic. " Morpheus go left upstream and see what you can find. I'll go right" Servic headed downstream walking along as there were plenty of footprints, a couple of minutes later he spotted smoke up ahead through the trees and quickly hid behind a tree, he focus's hard and just like that 5 seconds later his whole body liquifies and he turns to water. Servic jumps in the water and begins to swim closer and closer towards the smoke, he then realizes that it is a campsite with a few swords and shields left behind, the smoke was slowly disappearing and was still hot. " They must still be nearby " Servic quickly levitates himself up into a tree and waits. Morpheus was still looking for something, he eventually through the trees spotted a cloth that was uniquely made in Zorka, he grabs it and rushes back to Servic all the while a singular soldier returns back to his campsite.
