Escaping

The sound of steel clashing against steel could be heard all around. Not only that I could smell blood, the familiar scent of blood. Damn it what the hell is happening?!

The messenger was limping toward us. She already has multiple sword wounds and has some burnt marks here and there. She staggered towards me and I caught her before she fell.

"Please protect the princess." Those were her final words as she fell down in her own pool of blood.

The situation was getting dire by the moment. My little sister looked at me her eyes which were crying a while ago were now showing great determination. I nodded at her, "alright first thing to do is get the princess out of here. So princess, how about escaping the kingdom with me?"
