"Never trust anybody." Ryan adressed the soldier: "Now then, you're going to tell us where you took the queen and the girl." "Like hell I will." The man spat. Ryan's eyes narrowed slightly and he drew a sword from his left side. It was exactly like the dagger, but much larger. "Well, I hope you're not particularly attached to any of your limbs. You won't be soon, at any rate." The man's eyes widened and he looked around at the others "H-hey! Wait! You can't do this to me!"

Markus started moving forward and, to his surprise, Raythor grabbed his shoulders. "We have to find them." "But this is wrong!" "Like your father doesn't allow torture of prisoners." "Raythor!" Laura said with surprise. "What kind of thing is that to say?" Raythor shrugged. "Who cares what happens to this guy? We don't know him and he just tried to kill us." Rose said, trying to ignore the fact she was agreeing with Raythor.

Ryan kept his gaze on the man. "You all seem to be quite terrified of Kenetari. But believe me, there are people you should be much more afraid of. You are currently looking at one." The soldier looked up at Ryan's face, and after a moment said "A-all right. She told us to take them to the old Arden manor, just west of here. N-now please, let me go..." Ryan looked at him for a moment. "Good. One of you tie him up." He turned away, sheathing his sword and pulling out a map.

"You do it." Markus said, eyes boring into Raythor. He just shrugged again. "Fine." He snatched the rope Laura was holding out helpfully without a word. Markus and Laura exchanged looks. "What the hell is that?" Rose asked, peering over Ryan's shoulder. Ketra pulled her back. "Careful." She said sternly. "What? He's on our side, for now anyway."

"It's called a map. I assume you've been taught about them. This is about where we are," He pointed to a spot on the map. "But there isn't any Arden manor on here." He turned to the soldier. "Show me where it is." The man complied and Ryan put a small mark on the map. "It appears that we can get there in about half an hour."

Rose just muttered something about maps and Markus stepped forward. "Come on, everyone. We have to save them. No matter what we have to do." The prince said, shrugging like Raythor had. The dark haired boy ignored him. "Lead on." Rose said, throwing her arms up.

"Gladly." Ryan stooped down and pulled his knife out of the dead soldier's neck. "This way." He started walking, again making no noise.

Rose made a face of disgust but everyone else just kept walking.

Half an hour later they arrived near the manor. Ryan stopped in a small clearing in the trees nearby. "We'll have an advantage once it's dark. We'll wait here until then." He went up to a large tree, jumped, grabbed onto one of the thicker branches, and started climbing.

"Now when he says we wait here... he means up that tree?" Rose looked down doubtfully at her skirt. "I think not." "We can find a place for you down here just as hidden, I'm sure." Markus assured, looking around. "Not like we'd all fit up there anyway." Raythor said. Markus pretended he hadn't spoken.

After a few minutes Ryan dropped out of the tree, landing with a soft thud. He adressed Raythor. "Nearly half the guards are drunk, so it appears that your sister isn't here."

"Are our friends here?" Raythor asked, managing to remain calm. "Because I can live without my sister on a pretty permanent basis."

Anella felt like her breathing was getting louder and louder. It was the only noise in the dark little room she was in...or where ever she was. It had become rythmic and repetative, almost soothing. Occasionally it was interupted by some weird humming from Rea. Anella sighed and lay her head down on the floor. It was hard and cold, but she didn't care at this point. Closing her eyes she tried desperately to relax, and think.

"I'd say so. You would be surprised how few people are willing to lie to me."

"Then let's go." Raythor said, starting forward. Markus stopped him. "Wait... Ryan, is it safe? Are we badly outnumbered" "How can you ask that? Who gives a damn? Let's go and kill the bastards dumb enough to serve my sister and save Anella... I mean, everyone." "Saving them will be a hollow victory if one of us dies in the process." Markus returned. "We have to think about this. Usually I'm the one who charges in without thinking." "There won't be any kind of victory if they die either, Markus." Raythor shot back. "Boys, boys let's calm down." Rose said, grabbing both their soldiers. "Let's allow mister scary killer to tell us what's going on, all right? Then we can charge in like testosterone filled morons."
