RUNAWAY JOURNEY PT2.

*RECAP* "now go I'll distract him" he whispered..

Athena took the hood with her and runs away not completely far.. suddenly she stepped on a fallen tree branch and made a sound.. the guard noticed it and turns around.. Ash immediately shows up and said nervously "Ahahahah... I guess you caught me" he gave Athena his signal to run.. Athena saw the signal and runs while wearing the hood. The guard immediately strangled Ash and asked "where is Athena you peasant! you're from the city of hearts am I right?", Ash grinned and said provokingly "Oh my- How did you know? I didn't knew that peasants like you can figure what Kingdom or City I lived", The guard strangled Ash tightly and said "YOU LITTL-".. Ash immediately grabs the guard's hand and twisted it.. he said while grinning "Listen here old man.. I'm letting you live however.. in return I must curse you that will make you shut up.. have a good night old man" he knocked out the guard before cursing it.. He began saying foreign words.. He performed a seal in the guards mouth.. A seal which can't be destroyed by a mere magic spell. As he finished casting the spell.. he heard foot steps running from his direction.. he began running away while wearing the hood he said in his thoughts "I believe that's the backup which he called, I must runaway.", Athena pants and pants and at last she has reached the gate, she noticed there's a guard standing by near the gate, she began to cast the magic to the hood just like Ash said, The hood began starts to become invisible, she wore the hood and walks slowly through the guard while shivering.. finally she got out, she climbed and hid at an apple tree 28 meters away from the gate, she begins to get worried of Ash, she saw many apples in the apple tree.. she began to take off her hoodie and starts picking apples until her hood is full, she noticed there's something shiny.. she was so curious that she actually climbed at the top.. she saw 5 golden apples hiding in the top, she rips her long dress into a thigh level dress, she starts picking the golden apples.. she wrap them with the clothing she ripped in her dress.. she noticed they were foot prints coming from this direction, and it was ash panting, she waved her hands for his welcome. Ash was relieved that she's okay, he noticed her dress was ripped.. he asked while panting "you're dress.. its ripped", Athena calmly said "I picked some apples using the hood you gave me, and then suddenly I saw 5 golden apples hidden at the top.. so I ripped my dress wrap the golden apples because I thought we might need it to our journey", Ash gently smiles and said "shall we go then Athena?", she asked curiously "where?",

he answered "to the City of Hearts".
