Chapter IV
Rose is walking back through the forest, thinking about her encounter with Dart.
"How could someone that old, still not know they have the power?" Rose pauses while still walking. "He must know. But wait, if he did know, he surely would have used it against Freybrand. And I saw the spirit on him, I know he can use it, he just doesn't know how. I must find him. he said Seles was his hometown, I suppose I should try there first." Rose turns in the opposite direction and takes off the way to Seles.
Dart is now in a forest just outside of Seles. A few squirrels and rodents run around by an older man. The forest is not very thick, so it is still bright, now midday.
"Would you like to buy anything young sir?"
"No thanks."
Dart keeps walking and comes to a familiar spot. There is a cliff that droops down to another cliff and a tree is fallen over and connects to the two. Dart slides down the tree and is jumped at by a large dog with a horn.
"Get away! I have no time for you!" Dart points aside and the dog leaves. "This reminds me. a young Shana and Dart are running down the path. Shana is in the front leading him to some spot. They both slide down the tree when a similar dog jumps out and frightens Shana to the ground. Dart them heroically jumps out and yells at the dog "Leave Shana alone!" The dog then scatters again.
Dart continues to walk down the path and encounters two Beserker Mice. He gets in the first attack, but he has become more powerful with his sword. He now gives the mice 4 cuts each, and they drop to the ground. "Wow, I felt this power after the fight with those soldiers. I must have become more powerful. No time to discuss now, but this will help me rescue Shana." He then runs the rest of the way out of the forest.
Now, Dart is right outside the Hellena Prison. It is dark as always, but this time because of the setting sun and the heavy smoke. The Prison looks almost on a tilt, leaning back and about to fall into the water. "How can I sneak it." Soon a cart carrying Meat and Fish drives by and Dart sees his chance. He runs after the cart and when it is stopped at the gate, he stands behind it. The guard comes over to inspect the load so Dart jumps to the left side of the cart. And once the inspection is complete, he jumps on the back hiding in some bags.
Once inside, he was at a room with no guards, so he had time to think of a strategy. He decided to take a bag of Fish and disguise himself as taking it to the dungeon. Dart though it would work, so just kept with it. He walked slowly out of the room and struggled to the keep large bag balanced. The inside of Hellena Prison was lit with torches, and was very dirty. The grounds were dirt, and there were many bridges of wood, leading to different areas.
As Dart walked with the bag, he felt in no real danger. He got to the tower that had the prison cells in it when he was figured out. One of the escaped soldiers recognized him from Seles, and once Dart heard the whistle, he knew it was over. Dart took of in a hurry after the pulley that would take him up to the top. He jumped from one tower to the next and made a sudden turn around and lunged at the guard stabbing him in the stomach before he could react. Instantly killing the man. He then took a pulley cart to the next level. He was now in the Prison Cell area.
"Move quicker!!!" Shouted a guard at some knights of Basil." You will regret not being killed in battle. Now Fruegel gets to choose how to kill you."
"I won't have it!" shouts a mysterious voice as a Hellena Ward is thrown into view. La Lancer walks out with a spear twirling in hand.
"Sir Lavitz!" exclaimed the POW's.
"Go back to Ipsens Castle and tell King Albert. I'll handle em off here." Two more guards come after Lavitz but he kills them both with a swipe of the spear. The two more guards come out and Dart pops in to help and kills one. Lavitz senses danger with Dart, and begins to attack him.
"I am Dart. I am not your enemy!" Lavits pulls off and backs up.
" I am Lavitz Slambert! King of the First Knighthood at the Kingdom of Basil!" Three guards surround the two of them. "Looks like we have no time to chat." The battle is quickly over as each member attacks a guard and they drop fast. Dart realizes that Lavitz is very good with his spear. "I don't want to fight this guy."
"Do you know of a girl named Shana here?"
"No. I do not."
"Then I must look elsewhere."
"Wait! Its not going to be easy to go through alone. It goes for me two. But together we can do this. Of course with the girl."
"How come you trust me. We have just met."
"The raid you made was impressive. I trusted you to guard my back. That's the way I think."
"Ok, then lets go together."
They both leave this area, and find another pulley going up. Lavitz stabs the man in the stomach and throws him of the tower. "He killed some of my people. I don't forget faces."
They take the pulley up proceed to the left into a heavily guarded room. Dart finds a key, so they leave this room as fast as they can. They go to the right and kind a place to insert a key to find more Cells. There are three guards hudeled around one Cell. "That must be it." The two combatants quickly dispose of the three guards.
"Shana are you in there?"
"Dart is that you!?"
"Yes its me, I'm here to rescue you!"
Lavitz makes sure that Dart knows " Hurry up!! The guard is coming!!"
Dart unlocks the door and walks in. "Shana!"
"Dart."
"I'm here to rescue you. you haven't forgotten me have you?"
"How could I forget? Show me your face."
He looks at her, "I haven't changed much."
"Yes you have. You are much stronger now."
Lavitz yells in that the guards are coming, and the two leave the cell, now planning their excape.
