Aurora Blake stumbled through the caves, staggering with her grandson in her arms. She looked at the baby in her arms before stepping forward. Three steps later, she paused and looked at her feet, which were bloody and she saw the footprints she left. Looking back at the caves, she retraced her footsteps. Two soldiers came out of the caves, following the bloody footprints. They reached the riverbank, only to find that the footprints stopped. Staring out at the river, they didn't see Aurora sneak up on them. She stabbed one of the guards with an arrow and stole his sword. She killed the other one quickly as well. Staring up she looked at the the lights from a kingdom before taking slow steps through the river. Losing her balance she slipped and the currents took over. She grabbed a stick and looked up at the sky.
"Lord! Take me for my sins, but this child must live! He must live for his mother who is awaiting him! He must live for the throne of the Ark! BENJAMIN BLAKE MUST LIVE!" Aurora said as she slipped under the water but the baby stayed afloat.
A group of people were out in the woods when they say the baby floating.
"Oh god!" The wife of the tribe leader, Abby said. A guy jumped into the river and took the baby gently. Aurora pointed up above the waterfall before her body slipped away. He handed the baby to Abby who took him.
"What happened?" Abby's husband, Jake, asked.
"I don't know sir. She looked like a queen. She had jewels and when she died she pointed up above the waterfall." The man said.
"SIR!" A cry ame from afar. They all walked over to se the two soldiers lying dead.
"They must've came to kill that queen! She must've outsmarted and killed them. " One of them said and they all looked at each other.
"Sir" Another one said and they all walked over to where he was. At the entrance of the caves.
"Oh god. A cave! We didn't even know this was there" Abby said.
"It looks like it goes all the way up to the top." The man said.
"If the queen said gave us the baby and pointed to the top, maybe she wanted us to take the baby there" Jake said.
"Are you an idiot? If they sent soldiers to kill a baby then what would await this child at the top?" Abby cried. "No, this is my child. the lord heard my pleas for a child and gave me this baby. If anyone says no, I will step on their necks"
The men backed away slightly.
"Hey! What are you looking at? Close the entrance to the caves!"
Using rocks and levers, they finally closed the entrance.
