"Hermana!" Antonio cried. He looked at his companion, bewildered. Who was tying himself and the other end was tied to a sturdy pillar.

"Once I am on the ground, you use the rope to get yourself down" The man instructed. Antonio only nodded. The man made his way to jump after the fallen girl.

He was falling with her. She was trying hard not to scream. But her eyes were filled with fear. He tried to grab hold of her hand. She reached out. Time seemed to slow down between as the two stared into each other's eyes. (E/c) meeting those emerald green. Soon he wrapped his arms waist The impact of the used rope reaching its limit made the man gasp as they were a few meters toward the ground. He swung the rope until they landed on an elevated area. He then put the girl down carefully and tugged on the rope signaling that her brother can come down. A few seconds then her brother was down. She saw her brother and tackled him in a bear hug.

I noticed the masked man standing behind my brother. I let him go and walked towards him.

"Why?" I asked without hesitation.

"Oh, I didn't get a thank you." He remarked bluntly. "How rude."

"I'll thank you once you answered my question" I spat.

"Fine, ask away" He said and crossed his arms.

"Why did you help us?"

"I find it worthy. Since I find you two were stealing, and if it wasn't for me, you both would be hanged"

"Why worthy?"

"You stole because you lacked money, am I right? Since you can not support your family properly, you both had no choice"

"So?" I interrogated him more.

"I pity the people in poverty. M- The king should never been in this kind of ranking. Letting his realm fall because of his greed." he replied bitterly.

"Alright, then who are you?" Antonio asked.

"I have many names. Though I seem to not call myself anything. You may name me anything to your heart's content. But remember this: I am against the reign of King William Kirkland: He said coldly and walked away into the darkness. Once he was gone I suddenly remembered

"Thank You!" I shouted in vain.

"Come, (name), we must head home" I looked back to where the masked man had gone off. Then I followed my brother


Ah the mask man is so awesome. Just to clarify things. The food dat (Name) and Antonio stole were miraculously safe under their clothes. While Antonio was left at the top he managed to knock the guards before they called more reinforcements. They cut the rope before the guards could follow them. Then fortunately the sibling found that the place they landed were a short cut to their home. There I hope everything makes sense now!
