Marth awoke out of his light sleep the instant he heard the click of the cell door opening. His stomach was still a bit sore but nothing to worry over. It was the same two guards from last night and this time not only did Marth glare but Roy did as well making the guards shift from one foot to the other foot uncomfortably.

"You can glare all you want boys but I ain't gonna get you nothin but a slap. Especially where ye two are goin." Said Ero and to enforce his words walked over and slapped them both. "Well Tout you get that one and I'll get his highness."

Marth ignored the way Ero had used his former title and before Ero could touch him ducked out from under his hands and dashed straight for the door. He heard someone's footsteps close behind and took a quick glance behind him. To his relief he saw it was Roy. A little farther back he could see Tout and Ero shouting angrily for them to stop. Like that would ever happen. Marth summoned up another burst of speed when he caught sight of the door just ten paces away. He was not expecting to slam head long into another guard and so he and the guard went tumbling down the path fighting with each other trying to gain the upper hand in the fight. By sheer luck Marth was the one who hit the rock with a crash, therefore enabling the guard to get on top of him. Marth's head had hit the rock as well and he saw bright white spots flash across his vision. He heard a cry but it wasn't from him and then he felt something pound his face causing his head hit the ground and everything went black.

Roy let Tout grab him but as soon as he saw Marth duck he twisted out of the man's grip and ran past him towards Ero. Roy landed a perfectly aimed kick at the back of Ero's knee and saw him collapse before running after Marth. He saw the guard in front of Marth but it was to late to say anything. Marth was already on the ground tumbling toward the rock wall with the guard. Roy paused for a moment watching the to fight then heard the other two guards charging up the corridor towards him and started to run again. He saw Marth hit the wall and felt something coil around his leg. He gave a scream of shock as he lost his balance and fell to the ground. The two guards were upon him immediately and the last thing he remembered was seeing a fist come flying at his face.

Marth woke up to find he had a pounding headache. As he took in his surroundings he realized he was moving. His confusion was ended when he saw that Roy was draped over a horse with his legs and hands tied together under the horse not to far away and found that he was being held to the horse in the same fashion. It was dark and he guessed that he must have been knocked out for the most part of the day. He looked in the direction they were headed and saw that there was a camp set up. It was only going to take about another two minutes to get there.

"Hey princey, see that up there? That's who ye gonna live with now." Said Ero when he saw Marth was awake. "O great. Well this should be fun." Thought Marth. He gave a sigh of frustration as his world went black again.

Ero went up to the leader of the small camp. "Good afternoon Gradot, these are the to slaves promised by King Jagaren in return for your help."

Gradot went up to the two horses and examined his new slaves. "Send him my thanks. These will do perfectly. You may stay if you wish. For the night that is, we leave at first light."

"No, we must decline. We will tell the King of your thanks, but we really must be going." Replied Ero as he took Marth off the horse and put him on the ground. Tout did the same with Roy. The two guards took off for the Palace of Altea leaving behind the two new slaves to what ever their new master had in mind for them.
