Hey I am back again, I would like to thank you all for your support. I hope you have enjoyed the book so far. Ps. I am very sorry about spelling Horatio's name wrong :D. This is my first book so expect some spelling mistakes I am trying my best!
Gregor was awakened by his cell door being unlocked.
"What do you want?" Gregor asked aggressively.
"This is your second day" Horatio answered pulling on a pair of studded gloves. Gregor's stomach fell sick at the sight of them - they weren't really gonna use those on me are they - Gregor thought despairingly.
Soon Horatio was joined by Marcus. They asked persistent questions like: what about the prophecy of the warrior? when were his pesky little ignorant friends coming? But Gregor couldn't answer any of these questions because he didn't know the answer.
Every time Gregor said he couldn't answer he was punched in the stomach by Horatio's studded gloves.
"Let us talk to Ripred He shall know what to do?" Perdita said as they headed to the kitchen where Ripred was gorging himself on his favourite food, shrimp in cream sauce.
"Did you hear about Luxa?" Mareth asked Ripred who was starting on his seventh helping of shrimp in cream sauce.
"Yes such a pity." Ripred said sarcastically.
"You are not treating her like a bond." Mareth pointed out.
"Have you seen her bossing me around lately?" Ripred asked indignantly.
"We need your help?" Mareth and Perdita pleaded with Ripred for a few minutes before they persuaded him to come with them to the Rockies.
Gregor was led back to his cell.
"Do you want to talk?" Solovet asked unemotionally.
"Fuck you!" Gregor shouted at vaguely everyone in the passage outside his dungeon.
"I am sure you must have some questions?" Solovet continued "Such as who else is involved? Who else is prisoner? Well we can answer those questions, because even if you escape you will never make it to Regalia."
"Are you deaf? I said fuck you?" Gregor yelled through the bars.
"I don't like it when people talk to me like that." Solovet said "Horatio, Marcus carry on with the torture and this time use some tar." with that Solovet left
When Mareth, Perdita and Ripred were leaving Regalia they saw some council members in a worried state. Mareth and Perdita mounted bats, while Ripred started running. After a while they arrived at the Rockies.
"So her Highness nearly got her head ripped off in there." Ripred turned to look at the others while he pointed with his tail.
Mareth nodded as he and Perdita drew there swords.
The three walked into the cavern. There seemed to be no rats around, not even Ripred could smell them. But they were there watching there every move.
Ripred tripped on a wire which was strung across the cavern. He fell down a steep wall and into a deep pit.
"Where is Ripred?" Perdita asked alarmed. By this time Mareth who had gone ahead also fell into the trap.
"Wait Perdita! It's a trap stop."
Gregor was marched into a room where they strapped him to a bed. The cut his shirt off.
"Ok, Ok I will tell you." Gregor pleaded.
"Come on were waiting." Horatio lifted a stone pot and walked towards Gregor.
"The prophecy says that I am going to die because it is the last Prophecy." Gregor stuttered.
"He's lying." a voice called through the barred door of the torture chamber.
"Who are you?" Gregor asked the figure who was nearing the room.
"Where are you?" Perdita asked Mareth.
"Go back to Regalia and get help, it is to deep for you to pull us out." Mareth ordered.
"Let us try and get the bats to pull you guys out?" Perdita called for the two bats to come.
"The two bats managed to enter the cave. Once the bats arrived they hauled Ripred and Mareth out of the hole.
"Lets get out of here." Perdita ordered mounting Apollo.
Soon they were back at Regalia. When they landed they saw Hazard hurrying to the royal quarters. But Ripred intercepted him.
"Hey kid." Riped said blocking hazard with his tail.
"Hi Ripred" Hazard replied
"Were are you going?" Ripred
"I am going to visit Luxa in her quarter's. Why do you ask?" Hazard replied cautiously.
"Uh well, we kinda have to talk to her about important business." Ripred told him "And it's urgent." he continued.
"Go ahead." Hazard gestured at the Luxa's room.
The rat and the two humans entered Luxa's room to see her lying on a bed. Her wounds were covered in Spider silk.
Luxa managed a weak smile. Mareth told her all the imformation they had gathered.
"What are we going to do?" Luxa asked them.
"I think we should send a division of soldiers there to clean out the area." Mareth suggested
"O.K." Luxa said "Give the order."
Soon a whole division of soldiers were flying towards the Rockies. Those rats are going down.
When the troops arrived at the rockies they split up and searched the surrounding area.
After twenty minutes a soldier called to Mareth who was in charge of the whole expedition.
"Mareth I have found something peculiar." Lucent said.
The whole division headed towards where Lucent was.
"What be it? What is it you have found?" The whole division was bubbling with questions.
The figure moved closer to the door. Gregor eye's trained on the door waiting anxiously for the person to reveal themselves.
"I saw the prophecy myself. It says nothing about him dying." The weary voice entered the room. "He is lying. The prophecy talks about a great secret which should remain hidden. " the voice continued with no regrets, no sorrow, no feeling for the pain which was going to happen to Gregor when Horatio and Marcus got at him.
"Who are you?" Gregor asked...
