Chapter 4
Reunited
It was probably around midnight and the light of the moon shone through the window of the cell I am in. I am on the floor in as much pain as ever from being both stretched and lashed. Soon I hear footsteps growing louder as they were nearing my cell. I use as much strength as I could to lift my head up as much as I could to see who was coming up. Out of the darkness Sir Larmorak walks up looking around to make sure nobody else was following him.
"Oh dear lord what on earth are you doing here?" I whispered to him.
"Oh don't worry Galahad is here as well, in fact here he is now." Larmorak said turning his head in the direction of where Galahad is walking up.
"Galahad, oh thank the lord you're here, I was worried this idiot was saving me alone." I said quietly trying not to get the attention of any other knights.
"It's ok we will get you out of here." Galahad said as he started to pick the lock of my cell door.
I slowly lowered my head back down to rest it on the floor because another after surge of pain went through me again.
"Are you alright Maria?" Galahad whispered as he finally opened the cell door and knelt down by my side.
"Honestly I don't know." I answered with a slight groan in my voice.
"What did they do to you." Larmorak asked as he was keeping watch for any knights that might walk by.
"Since Arthur doesn't know that I am the princess, thankfully, and so I acted as if I was one who helped the princess escape and so he tried to torture my "information of the princess's location" out of me by lashing me and then stretching me." I answered as yet another surge of pain went through me.
"Arthur takes it to the extreme when he tortures people." Galahad said unbinding my hands and picking me up in a position for him to carry me out of the castle.
As his hand went behind my back it accidentally brushed the spot where I was lashed, and I tried not to groan too loudly, but I still made a noise indicating that he hurt me a bit.
"Sorry." He said.
"You're fine just get me out of here." I said resting my head on his shoulder as he carried me out of the dungeon and out of the castle.
Galahad and Larmorak finally get me out of the castle and both take off flying towards the Lady of the Lake. We have been travelling for a while and we finally land at the Lake where the Lady of the Lake, Sonic and Merlina were all waiting for us anxiously.
"What happened?" Sonic asked.
"Long story short I was tortured by Arthur." I answered still in pain.
"Here let me." The Lady said and healed my wounds.
"Thank you." I said standing up feeling refreshed.
"So now I'm guessing we can start trying to gather the sacred swords now?" Sonic asked.
"Yes you go ahead and look for Gawain and Percival, they are normally out and around the forest a lot. I will wait here and gather my strength." I said sitting down.
"Ok." Sonic said grabbing his sword and running off.
