I think this is a good chapter.I started one of the scenes I was most excited about writing, so enjoy. Review if possible.

Chapter 10

"Traitor!" Vince heard someone yell. He turned around and saw that it was Perseus. "Seize him!"

"No, wait!" Vince protested, struggling to his feet. "That guard was trying to kill me! He was an assassin for the SSC!"

"But Magnel still killed him!"

"He's not dead." Magnel said casually, walking out of the room.

"And how would you know that?!" another Gode asked.

"We're on the first floor. The drop was ten feet at the most."

At that point in time, Orestes walked in.

"Go and retrieve him," He told the other guards standing around him, and they hurried outside. He pulled the guard who was bleeding to his feet and said, "You're an assassin, too," It wasn't a question.

"Yes," the Gode hissed.

"Take him to the infirmary. Then he will be put on trial."

"Yes sir."

Orestes turned towards Vince. "You must leave as soon as possible. I myself will guard your room as you sleep now. In the morning you will depart for the City of the Tril."

"Thank you, Orestes and Magnel."

"Anything, Vince. It was no problem." Magnel replied, his eyes turning slightly purple.

Once again Vince entered his room and tried to rest. Eventually it came and he was awoken by Orestes. After he had said farewell to Orestes, Perseus, and Telemachus, the two chariots setout once again out of the forests that was the Gode's city.

This time, Vince was armed with a sword on his belt, in case of another attack from the SSC. The rough terrain seemed even worse this time, but Vince was sort of used to it. They sped along, with the Vuul struggling at the front to pull the great wait.

All along side them, Vince saw Vuul running free, Tril, Gode and Ivs living outside of the cities, rivers running, and a mysterious huge walllooming off in the distance. The climate in this area was very cold; Vince's thin garments did not warm him up very much.

They were coming to the large wooden rope bridge once again. Vince, as well as Achnid, had noticed another chariot trailing them. While both the human and the king were suspicious, neither of them said nothing until Achnid caught a glimpse of the sashes the riders were wearing.

"Damn," Achnid murmured, then said to Millia, who was handling the reigns, "Speed up. The SSC is on our trail."

She whipped the reigns, and the Vuul gained speed. Hypnos noticed this and did the same. Vince thought they would be OK until he saw more and more SSC chariots seemingly appear from nowhere. There were at least a dozen of them.

"Shit," he mumbled as he nervously unsheathed his sword. Everyone else did the same. On the bridge was a bigger chariot, painted red. The passengers were standing next to it. The approaching chariots caught up pretty quickly, but Hypnos managed to capsize one and Millia impaled one of the riders in another. But they were eventually overwhelmed, and Vince was pushed out of the chariot, while Magnel and Millia yelled "No!"

Both chariots had just pulled onto the bridge, and the riders from the red chariot had lunged and missed at the passing vehicles. By the time the Tril's chariot had started slowing down, they were on the other side of the rope bridge, and were chased off by yet another chariot.

The members of the SSC that were on the bridge walked over to Vince, who was lying down because of his leg that he had just injured.

A Gode wearing a red sash came forward. Vince could tell this was the leader of the SSC. The one responsible for the many lives SSC had taken. Next to him was a gigantic Iv, much bigger than Thanatos. He wore a sash that nearly covered his entire body it was so big.

The leader smiled. "Hello, Vince." All of the Gode had similar voices, but Vince knew he had heard this voice just recently.

"W-what do you want?" Vince relied, trying to mask his fear, and failing terribly.

"Information." The leader hissed, with a horrible smile on his face. He came closer to Vince, and put all five of his left talons on Vince's shoulder.

"Tell me." he said, "What plans does Achnid have for the wall? Does he wish to destroy it?"

Wall? Vince thought, Does he mean that huge wooden wall I saw during the trip?

Vince decided to pretend he didn't know anything, because he didn't, "Wall? What are you talking about?"

"We know Achnid discussed this with you," the large Iv growled. "Now tell us."

"I don't know anything about the wall."

"Perhaps you need to be persuaded," The leader said with a wicked grin. And with that, he took his left talons, and stabbed all five of them into Vince's right shoulder.

There you go, hoped you like it. Next chapter is gonna be great.
