I woke up in a cave and looked around taking in that someone had come in, and taken stuff from it. Running seemed natural to me now. I just had to keep moving, almost like a dance. A dance that I could do without music. Funny how I never knew how to dance anyways.

"Your awake now," my wings blocked the view of who stood in front of me. "It only took us this long to find you, we promise." I looked around my wings and found a royal knight at the entrance of the cave. Know I suspected that it wasn't even a cave, but a room underground in a castle. The dungeon.

"I guess I have to go back then." I took in how much of a mess he was in. Must have been running to see if it was true himself. This was going to be fun, if I hadn't over slept I would have less then eight hours to run away and in the North direction, if I did I wouldn't have less then four hours. I had to work fast. Unless I got captured at night and went to them at night. The last I knew of the kings and queen they weren't doing so well since I wasn't doing their errands. They'd need the four of the new four of them to come and take the crown right about now. I wonder what the kids would all be doing now?

"Why don't we go now then to see them?" He told me. "They want to wish you good luck anyways." Like I'd believe that but I had to get out of here, and figure out where I was to figure out what I had to do. I'd been in this situation before, I made it out then and I can do it again.

"Alright, lets go." I stood up and dusted off my torn clothes, making sure to move my wings behind me. Right after sleeping they were always a little bit softer then I wished they would be. Weak almost, but that's also because I use them a lot during the day to get around.

"Follow me then." He moved out in the dark. I took slow and small steps not wanting to be heard and rarely see. I followed the long tunnel he took me threw and waited for him to unlock a door. The lock wouldn't open and I leaned on the wall. I noticed the more keys he tried to use the more time he frustrated himself. I noticed the latch on the wall that I was leaning on. He put another key in the whole and it stuck. I pulled the latch down and it opened, finally. He jumped back in surprise and kept walking like that was normal and that he knew what he was doing.

It made me secretly question who and what he was doing. The hallway seemed to quiet and it made me think even more. I looked up again and took in what he looked like from the back. His clothes were in a bit of a mess with holes and small scratches. There was nothing to get it caught on down here though. I looked at his hat and saw the curls under it. Red hair? Where had I seen that before?

We kept the same pace for a while till we hit a certain turn. He paused, listened for something and went left. I didn't question it and followed him all the way to the broke window.

"Getting out should be easier, you first." He turned and looked at me. He pulled off the hat so I could see just how red his hair was. Father Fire red hair. It made me smile. I went to the window and crawled through with no problem. Him on the other hand, he took a bit longer since he was bigger and taller. When we got outside I noticed how dark it was again, but this time I knew where we were and why it was so dark. We were outside the castle walls, and it was nighttime. A group of four came out of hiding, with big huge items and helped the guy with the red hair put everything on. It took to fitting his body then.

Where had I seen these people before? They seemed familiar. A priestess, two girls and two boys. One being the Father Fire reborn. How does this happen? Most importantly who am I that they would come and find me? I was always good at running, but now that I can't run, it's weird. I feel different. Nothing was holding me down right now, unlike before. I'd run from it before in there. I was so confused.

"Let's go, you coming?" The Father Fire gave me the choice to make, and I did. Willingly.

"We found her!" The one girl said. She looked so pretty and strong in the body, as hard a tree could look. Her having found me made her happy for some reason.

"I guess, but now we have to return to your brother." The priestess said. The girl sighed and just nodded.

"You think he can," she asked the priest.

"If he can't, then there must be a reason why." The other girl said, she was straight forward and so calm. Almost like another someone I thought I knew. I smiled at the group. Maybe they weren't so bad after all. Being with them might actually be fun.
