Deep under the heart of Mariejois, there was an enormous dungeon beneath the beautiful palaces which you could never see an end on the way. Instead of calling it a dungeon, it was more likely a large living area for the slaves working in the Mariejois. 


The living condition inside the dungeon wasn't pleasant at all, even though the hygiene situation was much better to compare to the average dungeon of the Marine and different countries.

Ten slaves shared a room and except for the working hours, all of them spent their time there, in a crowded and dark prison.


The atmosphere today was very strange, there was an unexplainable tension in the air that all the soldiers had put up their guards. Although the soldier tried to act normally, most of the slaves noticed that any sound or noise could easily trigger them and their expression seemed to get gloomier every hour.


Suddenly, the ground began to shake seriously that it was similar to an earthquake. Soldiers outside the rooms began to shout and the sound of people running could be heard clearly within the room.


All the slaves woke up immediately once they felt the earthquake and gathered around the door, tried to peek outside but see nothing except darkness. The torches hang on the wall had disappeared and they could only rely on their hearing, trying to figure out the situation.


"That can't be an earthquake." A slave said calmly.


"I can't see anything. It's too dark." A slave around 20 narrowed his eyes and tried to see in the dark.


"Quiet! I can't hear what the soldiers are speaking!" A slave hissed.


A scar-slave pushed away from the others and stood next to the door, listened carefully to the noises outside the room. Although the noises outside were really disturbing, he managed to catch a few words from the mess.


"Someone break into the dungeon." The scar-slave muttered unbelievably, eyes shaken.The other slaves heard his muttering and exchanged shocking glances, no one seemed to believe it.


Right after a second later, the door of their room was slammed open without warning and startled them all. Not only their room but every room in the dungeon was opened, the slaves inside dashing outside quickly. 

"What are you guys doing? Come on!" A slave spoke, urged them to leave.

"What's going on here?" The youngest slave in the room asked nervously.


"Someone breaks into the dungeon and frees the slaves out! This is the chance to escape!"


"What if this is a trap? It's impossible to run away!" Another slave asked worriedly.


The previous slave shook his head and waved his hand, left them behind quickly.


"What should we do now?" A slave asked the scar-slave hesitatingly.


The rest all looked at the scar-slave worriedly, waiting for his decision. The scar-slave considered a moment, finally made his decision.
