My prince...my prince!!

Dre opens his eyes slowly, lifting his head up. He tried to get up but couldn't. Osward was in the other end of someplace that looks like a cage. An iron cage!. No, it was a real cage_A cell, A prison cell.

Osward has receive torture all night. He was refered to a beasts lagoon by the soldiers of the fortress cause he would not conform to any form of pain. They could see the rage and willingness to kill despite everything and out of desperation.

The commander of the fortress, General Omar came in with his party. He looked at the dying warrior with no pity .He open the other cell and asked a soldier to bring the boy out.

'Dre was chained. hands and feet and he looked tired and I'll.

He fell faced on the ground as if dead. Here the general took no pity on the poor lad.

He Also says he see no reasons why Lord Dresans would want to murder a young boy like this and of cause 'royalty.

But at this time of war he couldn't help his pity. He asked the other knight to give food for the boy and bath, cloth him. The knight froze as surprised by the sudden affection towards the poor boy, general Omar is never like this. Though he loved his men much but he is as cruel and though. He went afterwards without hesitation not to disobey the commanders order.

The nect day was Dawn. Soldiers packed out in roles and addressed by their chief the general.

Osward could remember his army with the insight. He lamented from the cage he was in. 'A cell probably.

After a while a sword was dropped to the ground and offered as a bait by the chief.

Fight my men ! says the chief_and if you stay alive after the round ( a mocking face on actually) I will grant you your freedom...? or loose here and I'll kill the Lad first.

His gesture was good but osward didn't like it. He was weak and they knew this, he wouldn't make it.

They should just kill me instead he thought amidst himself.

Another tall fit soldier spoke from the angle.

A sword was thrown in the ground in from of osward. The sun shone more brighter and pale red, as if the day of reckoning has come.

The crowd cheered and poured whine celebrating going on.
