"At least we can see now." Saria said cheerfully, despite the knife of her throat.
"Now would be a good time for one of those conveluted escape plans." Markus said.
"Well excuse me, mr. I'm the prince let me in the dark room of death. I'm working on it." Raythor said. He had no idea what to do.
"We couldn't let her die." Ketra put in.

Anella almost nodded, then she remembered the knife.
"If you just left right now we wouldn't have to hurt you."The woman said"So I supposed leaving her to her fate would be your smartest choice."

"We aren't about to walk out of her and let her die." Raythor said. Maybe if he kept them talking, they would wait longer to kill them. That was all that was coming to mind.
"Right." Markus agreed, catching on to why Raythor was talking.

"Look."The old lady said as though she was talking to a particularly slow child."She is an assassin, she did not assassinate, now she needs to be killed for treason.Its really quite simple.So why don't you just run along and let us do our busness."
Anella shivered a little again and the grip on her grew tighter.

"What if..." Raythor's brain was working as fast as it could. "What if we are all assasins from a higher power, here to take you all out? Maybe we were expecting this, and any minute you'll all be dead from all out reinforcements." Markus blinked.

"Yeah.."The old woman said sarcastically, looking at Anella who was the closests to her."And how about I just cut this girls throat and bleed her in front of you and then keep you hostage?I already know who you really are, the Royalty of Everglade is hard to mistake.You're Rea's little band, and you have no army traveling with you."

"Don't touch her." Raythor said with a flash of anger. "So you've called our bluff. Do you think you're really going to get away with killing a prince, princess, and queen? They'll hunt you down and burn you."
"Raythor..." Markus said warningly.
"Do you have a better idea?"
"No..."

The old lady smiled."I'm not going to kill them."She said"I'm not that stupid.But its highly unlikely you will be kept alive,I'll probably even get money for killing you.You, this peasant girl, that bandit, and the maid all have no value, so why should we risk keeping you alive?In fact.."She said grabbing Anella by the hair and tugging her twords her."Why don't I get started?"
Anella whimpered in fear and anger.She hated this.She hated being the damsel in distress, to scared to move or speak, to weak to defend herself, but she didn't know what else to do.

Raythor closed his eyes. He was drowning here... and running out of ideas fast.
"Hey, wait. I'm wanted for murder in Caltha. I bet you could get a pretty penny from turning me in."
"I'll.. pay you for not killing her." Markus offered.
"Me too." Ketra said.
"Yes, I have a little." Saria said, as if answering a question.

The woman rolled her eyes"I don't care about your money."She said raising her knife"All I care about is getting rid of wit-"She went rigid, and her face twisted into a look of pain and with a final gasp fell to the floor with a thud.
"Stupid woman, you shouldn't have left me unsupervised"Kylara said wiping the blood from her knife"Well, it looks like I saved your life Anella"

"Great, only a dozen more to go." Raythor said. "But thanks anyway."
"Get us out of here!" Saria said loudly.
"There are more of them in here..." Markus said, unnessesarily.

"Well I don't know what you're waiting for!"Kylara said, stabbing another man"Get rid of those guys holding you and help me!"She stepped over Anella, who has sunk to the floor, trembling a little.

"Easier said than done..." Raythor muttered. He pulled out one of his various knives, and stabbed his guy in the gut, then got away before he could stab him back. Markus stared at him.
"Why the heck didn't you do that before?"
"Because I didn't think of it. Go figure. You try." The guy holding Markus clearly didn't like where this was going, and drew the knife closer to the princes neck.
"Remember the burn you comment? That wasn't a bluff." Raythor said. Saria stabbed the guy from behind, and skipped away to herlp Ketra. Markus stood there for a second, blinked, and then drew his sword.
"I don't want to know. Come on, you heard Kylara."

"Let go of me!"Rea said feircely"I'm the queen!' The man obliged as kylara elbowed him in the head and swiftly sabbed him through the chest.
Anella had yet to draw a weapon.She was still on the floor, trembling and feeling sick to her stomoch.

Raythor was slashing all over the place and somehow managing to hit more often than not anyway. Markus was covering Saria, who seemed to be doing nothing. She trotted over to Anella.
"Let me help you up, alright?" She said, offering a hand.
