Okay, so remember how I was about to die? Well yeah that didn't really follow through because I'm not exactly dead, my heads still perfectly intact and I'm breathing fine, so that means I'm pretty alive. Ah yes, I should probably explain how I'm alive when I was meant to be executed right? Well its start with when we actually got to the block, everything was going according to plan for them, all the prisoners were lined up, including me, and currently waiting to get dragged to the block.
"You're next, are you scared?" I was about to die so there was really no point in lying, I nodded my head slowly as I watched the first guy get executed.
"Don't worry, you'll live, trust me." There's those words again, trust me huh? I guess having a little bit of faith can't be too bad, right?
It was soon my turn but I couldn't urge myself to move forward until one of the guards shoved me, my feet slightly trailing along with me. This was it, I was going to die in this world and nobody will remember my name, great.
"Get down Prisoner." Obeying I kneeled down and laid my head upon the block, closing my eyes and waiting. The background noise slightly soothing me while I patiently waited to die, my ears picking up on noises like the birds in the trees, the shuffling of feet on the muddy ground, the hushed whispers coming from the observers and the roar of a.. Wait a minute, that doesn't sound like anything I've heard before. Opening my eyes I see the look of utter horror coming from the executioners eyes underneath his mask, following to where they lead I couldn't stop the look of astonishment on my face. That roar I heard a minute ago was flying straight towards this village and it looked vaguely like a dragon?
"Dragon!" Guards screamed simultaneously around me, running around like headless chickens having never had to deal with anything like this before.
"Oi, red head! Get up and follow me! I know that best way outta this place." My head moved to the side to where her voice came from, the piercing red eyes staring at me determined to escape. Nodding I shot up from where I was kneeling on the ground and fell into a slight jog behind her. Her slightly childlike pigtails bounced as she took a slow pace run, zig-zagging in and out of people. Every couple of minutes she'd glance back, checking I'm still following her then nodding at me, confirming we'd be okay. For the most part the dragon seemed to be attacking another part of the town and we escaped into the tower.
"Grab whatever you have to off of one of the bodies, the way we're going we'll probably have to defend ourselves." Without uttering a word I knelt on the floor and started rummaging through the body of a guard. Picking up a dagger, a bow, arrows and some gold pieces, I stood up and nodded to the mystery girl to tell her I was finished and without exchanging words we took off again. I could feel the floor rumble every so often as the dragon got horribly closer to the tower, but it still seemed too preoccupied to really bother attacking this place just yet.
The further we ventured into the tower, the more I could feel the dragon, the more I knew it was outside, waiting. Red eyes, as I like to call her, surprisingly knew her way around really well, she knew exactly which turn to take and how to get underground to go through the cave system.
"Fucking brilliant! Stupid fucking dragon, I just want to escape, seriously!" Her high pitched shout brought me out of my thoughts and to what was in front of us.
"Oh."
"Yeah fucking oh." In front of us was what seems to be a collapsed ceiling, blocking the path we need to get out.
"How do you suppose we get out now? We can't go back outside due to there being a massive dragon and we can't exactly get through this." Staring directly at her I could see her mouth twitch in annoyance and her eyes searching around for another way out. With her last glance around the room she let out a heavy sigh.
"I have no idea." Sighing myself I let myself fall onto the wall behind me.
"Click!"
"Ahh! ~" Not being able to catch myself in time I fell backwards, landing right on my ass, great. Standing up slowly I turn around and notice I've managed to open up a secret door.
