Chapter 3 - To the Kingdom of Thelirin we go

"I am glad you could make it Castielle. Are the horses prepped?" Sam and Castielle were in the stables about to set off on their moonlight ride to Thelirin. Sam was wearing a purple robe, it looked expensive, very expensive. "Are you cold?"

"No."

"Liar. Here, put this on." Sam draped her robe around Castielle's shoulders. She stopped shivering.
" I prepped the horses earlier."
"And Reuben knows nothing of this?"
"Yes. I didn't say a word."
"Good. Let us ride."

Castielle might not have said anything, but somebody overheard them talking. The man, Alastair, was only a prisoner on a walk, but he had a habit of eavesdropping. He was practically skin and bones and his body was drained of vitamin D and because of this, he was allowed three hours a day where he was permitted to roam the castle grounds. As long as he got back in time, they weren't too bothered where he went. And he'd never run off, he got more food in prison than when he tried to make a living himself.

Alastair sold this information to the King in return for an extra hour of sunlight a day. The King agreed on half an hour and once he found out, he sent almost all of his men to storm the Kingdom of Thelirin.

Sam and Castielle arrived at Thelirin about four hours after they set off, so you can pretty much count on them both being tired. Yet, when she saw her sister, Sam felt like a new woman. "DEAN!" They hugged for a while. Being a queen suited Dean and she looked great, better than great. "Dean this is Castielle. Castielle Dean."
"Nice to meet you." Castielle said.
"You too. Is it alright if I call you Cas? Because Castielle is a bit long."
"Yes your majesty."
"Quit it. We're not very formal around here. So, sister," Dean turned to Sam. "How is Reuben?"
"I don't care. He is slime and filth. That is why I am here."
"Alright."

The girls had about two hours before the warriors of Dwayria came and wrecked havoc. In this time, they turned from Cas being a servant to her being a third sister. They got really close and yet none of them realised their impending doom.

KNOCK KNOCK
"That's funny. No one knock on the front door." Dean said, looking around nervously.
KNOCK KNOCK There it was again. The three didn't know what to do. After a nod from Dean, Sam and Cas ran up the stairs, as quickly and silently as they could.
KNOCK KNOCK And again. This time, Dean waltzed to the door and opened it, although they had servants for that.

It was Reuben and his men.
