"The archer with the red arrow has won!"

As soon as the announcer spoke those words the crowd erupted into a frenzy of applause. The nobles a little less than the commoners simply because they could not believe that he had triumphed over a noble. That however was precisely the reason that the commoners were so happy. To have one over the nobles felt glorious.

Gas, Cabiria and Kabale were all shouting as well. Sending their friend loud claps and cheers to show how amazing he was.

Sulfus meanwhile was standing with a giant smile on his face, his mind racing a mile a minute.

'I did it! I did it! I won! I get to kiss Raf! I get to kiss Raf!'

' He won! He actually won! I get to kiss Sulfus! I get to kiss Sulfus!'

Raf was ready to burst with happiness. Sulfus had one! That meant that he would be the one to kiss her! Her first kiss would be with Sulfus, she was so happy!

"My it seems as if that archer has won your favor my dear niece.' Reina observed looking at Raf from her thrown. Her eyes shown with amusement and her lip was quirked up in a smirk. This caused Raf to blush. She knew she couldn't tell her aunt the real reason as to why she was so happy with the blond archers victory. She made something up quick.

"Well auntie its just that it was down to him and the nobleman and I would much rather give my first kiss to someone I thought was attractive."

"So you didn't think that the nobleman was attractive?"

"Well I guess he was in a certain way. But the blond is more to my tastes."

At this Reina laughed. Raf smiled pretty sure that she was out of the burner.

"Lighter haired men I see. Well it's a good thing he is then. Guards bring him forward so that he may claim his prize!" The guards hurried to obey the queens command as they escorted Sulfus up to the throne were he bowed to Reina.

"Your highness." He said respectfully even though all he wanted to do was sucker punch the woman in her face.

"Young archer I hope that you realize what a feet you have just accomplished. These were the best archers in all the land. You should be very proud of yourself." She smiled at Sulfus.

"Thank you m'am but I'm sure that it was just simple luck."

"Simple luck that you cleaved an arrow in two? I think not that takes remarkable skill." At this her smile and tone turned cruel and dark. "And there is only one person who posses such skill in my kingdom. Stop pretending Sulfus Zollfenello or should I call you the Hooded Devil?!" At this everyone in the audience gasped while Gas, Kabale and Cabiria got ready to fight. Sulfus merely looked up at the queen and smirked.

"That's right your highness its me. And I have to admit I'm terribly impressed as well as flattered. To think that you'd go to all this trouble just for little old me." He stopped to look at Gabe. "Oh hello doggy still trying to get back in your masters good graces after I stole all your loot the other day?"

Gabe's face turned red with anger. If the situation wasn't so serious she might have laughed. Gabe looked like a radish or a zit that was ready to pop. Considering that it was Gabe she preferred the second image. But this was neither the time or place to be thinking such things. Sulfus was in trouble. She had to distract them somehow. Raf looked around frantically searching for something. It was only when she looked up at the colorful canopy that she saw it. A spider hanging just above her aunts head. When Raf was little she would play with the peasants all the time. They had showed her what spiders were poisonous and which weren't so she could tell the difference. Luckily for her, her aunt couldn't.

Raf carefully moved an inch closer to the pole the was holding the canopy up. Once she was done with that she made sure that no one was watching her and quickly gave the pole a little kick. It had the desired affect as the spider fell…right on her aunts face. She had to cover her ears from how loud the scream was. But it did allow Sulfus to make a run for it. Unfortunately Gabe had seen this and ran straight at Sulfus tackling him into the dirt.

"Who's the dog now criminal?" He said with a cruel smirk. Sulfus merely glared as Gabe lead him toward the prisoners carriage that was to escort him to his cell. At that point Raf, Gas, Cabiria and Kabale were all wondering about what they were going to do now.
