"They're going to be after us soon," Dell huffed, climbing out of the trapdoor. Meiko and Dell had gone into the secret passage that was under the boy's cell, and ended up somewhere Meiko assumed was in the country of blue. No doubt would there be a death warrant for them in the yellow country, so… they had run as far as they could. It seemed that a long time ago when the trapdoor was still in use, it served as a secret passage to the neighboring villages and countries. So that was how the yellow soldiers got around so easily. But apparently it wasn't in use anymore for whatever reason, probably since the princess came to the throne.
"Where do we go now?" Meiko asked, turning to her comrade. The gray-haired man shrugged.
"Anywhere's better than the dungeons."
