Chapter 9 : The Jailbreak
Luxanna "Lux" Crownguard, nobody noticed they ran, they got out of the jail borders, they took time to catch their breath. "Why did you save us? We're enemies" Katarina asked "I owe my life to Talon, when I was younger I went out of the borders to practice my spells, I was ambushed by a traitor, and Talon saved me, he was sent to ambush a high ranked commander, but he saw that traitor and thought he was ambushing him, he killed him saving my life without he knew that." Talon thought about that a little, did he really save one of his greatest enemies? Lux thought about it, too. If he knew that he was ambushing her, would Talon still killed the traitor? Talon was daydreaming, he wasn't paying attention as he walked and tripped over. Lux and Katarina laughed at him, and then helped him get up. "That's two in a row." Katarina said as she laughed. They continued walking, Lux asked from them "Please don't mention I saved you, if they will know about it I'm as good as dead." "Your secret is kept with us, we now owe you one" Talon said. Lux waved to Katarina and Talon, before they had line of sight of the carriage, if the general knew they associated with a Demacian, Talon would be executed, but Katarina's punishment wouldn't be unknown, the general wouldn't execute his daughter. Katarina and Talon went up the carriage, sleeping on the way back. Katarina woke up first for once, and saw Talon was sweating and breathing heavily. "Talon?" Katarina said quietly. "Talon!" she yelled at him. Talon woke up scared, he asked the servant to stop the carriage "I want to go outside to breath a little fresh air" The servant stopped the carriage the servant waited and Katarina went out too. "Talon? Were you having a nightmare?" Katarina asked him. "Yes, but it wasn't a regular nightmare, it was something I never saw... it was a monster, he ate you alive." Talon said, after that he inhaled deeply. "It's like the nightmare I had, I guess we're caring about each other more than we care about ourselves." Katarina said, They went back to the carriage. "I had enough sleep tonight" Said Talon, Katarina fell asleep instantly collapsing on Talon.
