The Escape

"Ahh the boy is about to awake" James heard dimly as he began to wake. James saw Cletus lying beside him still unconscious. James then tried to stand up but a slim soldier kicked him down and told him to stay down or he will die by his sword. James then looked around him and saw that it was the slim soldier that was alone with the two of them. "What are you going to do to us?" James asked with a loud voice. " Shut your tiny mouth!" The soldier told him with a Stern voice . But James was not going to give up easily and he knew that the other soldiers were still fighting and some might return soon so he knew that he might have to think fast.

After what seemed like ages, he saw Cletus regaining consciousness.James knew that the soldier was no match against the two of them though he was still injured. James then started insulting the soldier to distract him so he won't notice Cletus regaining his consciousness.

"Shut up and don't you speak a word again." and immediately the soldier groaned in pain and then James saw that Cletus had hit him on the arm with a stone. Immediately, James ran towards the soldier and punched him on the eye and the soldier screamed and as James attempted to take his sword, the soldier grabbed James's hand and twisted it and then punched Cletus on the throat and sent him on the floor choking. The soldier then kicked James on the knee and sent him to the floor. James grabbed his shoulder and saw that it was dislocated. The soldier then tried to grab him and immediately he threw sand into the soldier's eye and started running towards the palace of the Chanchanian king. When he got there, he saw a lot of dead royal guards littered on the floor and he wondered if the king was still alive or safe.

He then ran up the stairs and he was met with the sight of the Prince Friton who had been pinned to the wall with a spear. James then pulled the spear from his body and then took him to the floor. He then moved towards the king's room and it was empty. James then hid in the huge wardrobe. He then heard the sound of men approaching the room. "Bow to me" he heard from a thick but low voice but the voice which he recognized as king Ores voice refused to bow. Immediately a soldier shouted and a sound of a slap ringed in the room. "Do you know that you are talking to the almighty commander Benard ." The soldier roared. " I don't bloody care. I will not bow." The King replied. Benard then commanded the soldier to take King Ores away.

James was still hiding in the wardrobe when he heard someone come into the room and started walking towards the wardrobe. The person then stopped and then grabbed the handle while James picked up a small knife he saw in the wardrobe ready for combat.
