Francis and Bash good on the ledge of the castle, looking out at the enemy camp stationed in the field a few yard in front of the castle. Instead of the organized formation of an attack that they had been expecting they were scattering, men running away on foot and on horseback, they could hear the screams from the castle. Something was wrong.

"Bash" lady kenna called as she walked up the steps, to him and Francis.

"What's' going on? Are they attacking?" kenna said breathlessly, as she looked down at the enemy with them.

" No, somethings wrong, they're scattering. You can hear the screaming." Bash said confused as he watched those men running.

"Now's the time to attack." Francis said with sudden hope, sudden conviction.

"Attack? Even if half his army runs, Conde still outnumbers us. Our men will balk." Bash said incredulously.

"Which is why im going to lead the charge." Francis said as he turn to walk away.

"Wait, do you see that?" Kenna said hurriedly as she outstretched her arm, pointing to the left side, the purple sleeve of her dress sewing with the movement.

To the left marching out of the woods was a very small army. Only about 20 men, they carried a flag pole, the flag was bright yellow, with two red lines and inside of them was a red lion with blue nails and tongue, with its tail on fire.

"What are they doing? Are they helping conde?" Bash exclaimed at he looked over that them.

"We need to attack before they start to form up again." Francis snapped.

"Look!" Kenna shouted, still pointing at the odd 20 men. "That's the queens flag, they're flying the queens flag." Kenna whipped her head around to look at Francis, her long brown hair fallowing into her face.

"What? What queen?" Francis asked in confusion frustration.

"It's the stuart flag, Mary's flag. It's mary, it's scotland." Kenna exclaimed breathlessly.

"Mary?" Bash and Francis said in unison as they looked at each other in astonishment.

"Francis I never told you this, i didn't think it was relevant but right before she left, Mary gave me a package for Greer said it was very important. There's obviously more to Mary's departure than we know." Bash told Francis with in a sad tone.

"Where is Mary? If she's not with Conde…" Kenna trailed off, as she noticed a white horse gallup to where the other men are waiting. Sat atop that white horse was Mary, her long black hair was down, it almost reached the horse, she was dressed in the dress that she had left the castle in. A man on a brown horse pulled up next to Mary, it was her brother james.

"There's Mary and her brother James!" Kenna said excitedly.

The sudden sound of metal boots hitting the wood stairs as they came closer to where the three of them were standing.

"Sire" A castle guard stop right in front of Franics.

"The men are getting anxious, what are your orders?" the guards asked as the soldiers that were stationed on the ledge started to notice Mary and her men on the left.

"Is that the Queen?" one guard asked.

"Yes, it is the Queen. We are going to attack Conde's army with the Queen" Francis said.

"The Queen is fighting?"

"The Queen?" It echoed around through all the soldiers.

All the soldiers leaned closer to the edge of the ledge to look over at Mary. Mary sat on her horse in front of her small army watching as Conde's men as they ran in panic. Suddenly, she turned to her men, unsheathes the sword at her side, she raised in the air, turned her horse and started a charge toward Conde's men.

"Men, it's time to attack the enemy." Francis said to the soldiers.

"For the Queen" the soldiers chanted as the climbed on their horses and started to charge toward the enemy.
