(I'd be happy to, Rin. Basically, the Prince pushes Kaileena into the present, but then the Dahaka comes after her and the Prince tries to stop him using his new Water Sword. He successfully kills the Dahaka, and then he and Kaileena build a ship to leave the island. They seem to have sex, but I'm erasing that from ever happening in my story because it made me feel uncomfortable. Anyway, as that is happening, we see Babylon on fire. The camera goes within the city and shows a guy killing this other guy, but then goes to a crown falling off of a series of steps. A cloaked figure with a gray color scheme walks up to it and picks it up, by the way, his armor is almost exactly the same to the Prince. Anyway, the camera goes up to his face, but it's all black, except for two red eyes. He then says, "All that is yours is rightfully mine, and mine it will be!" The screen then quickly shows what seems to be Farah on a cross, but it shows for about two seconds and then zooms out, with the Old Man saying that you cannot change your fate.)

One Last Chance:

Chapter Five

The passage became narrow, forcing the group to begin crawling. It lasted at least ten minutes, but the minutes seemed like an eternity to the Prince. His mind was attempting to sort through as much information as he could. One thought crossed his mind repeatedly though, and that was something Kamal had stated. He could not kill the Prince, but the Prince could neither kill Kamal, and that bothered him deeply.

"Hold on," Massoud stated as he began to push on a small boulder, putting pressure on it in an attempt to free them all from the rocky pathway.

With one last thrust it fell out and he began to slowly climb out. He stood up and studied the room as the others exited the pathway.

"Massoud, do you mind explaining to me what your plan is?" the Prince asked as he turned to his friend.

Massoud shrugged. "I'm still formulating one; did you expect me to think you alive? I had heard of our prince returning, and then of our army attacking a few of our neighboring countries. Before I knew what was happening, Persia was locked in a war with many other countries, but it was a jumbled mess. It morphed into senseless fighting, and as you know Babylon was seized."

"I need to know about my father; did he ever command an attack on India?"

Massoud nodded. "Oh yes, a few years after you disappeared he rummaged through the country, partially because his attack had been thwarted just months before you ran off."

The Prince glanced at the floor. "Did he by chance, bring back an hourglass of sorts back with him?"

"An hourglass; no, I do not think so though." The Prince crossed his arms. "You said his attack on India was thwarted; what happened?"

"One of your brothers passed away from a rare disease, and your father donated so much to help him."

"Excuse me, but how are we leaving?" Farah suddenly asked, catching Massoud's attention. He snorted. "Would you wait a moment! My friend here is in a strange situation and I am informing him of some details he should be aware of. Besides, you go and figure out your own way!"

Farah scowled. "I would just like to know how we're getting out of this godforsaken place!"

Massoud gritted his teeth. "Godforsaken! Persia was once a great and powerful country!"

"And so was my father's empire, but the foolishness of your king is what brought you here!"

Before Massoud could snap back, the Prince placed his hand on his shoulder. "Let it be, Massoud. You said this passage would lead to the docks, correct? Let us concentrate on getting there first."

Massoud sighed. "All right then, but we must make haste; the guards most likely know our situation."

He then hurriedly walked through the damp cavern towards an almost hidden corridor.

"The palace was built at the edge of the land so it could house its own port. This passage should lead us there, but like I said, we have to move quickly."

There was no sound or speech within the passage for the rest of the walk. Only the echo of footsteps bounced off of the ceiling and walls, and small obstructions began to appear in the passage.

"So, Massoud, how did you find us?" Kaileena asked as they turned a corner. He shrugged. "It was mostly by chance. I had snuck into the palace by a secret entrance I discovered when I was a child. I knocked one of the guards unconscious and slid into the temporary dungeon where criminals were held until their verdict. Sure enough, I found you guys there."

"So you were looking for the Prince?" He nodded. "Yes, after I had heard he had returned, but that was a few days ago when Babylon was attacked."

He stopped and turned to her. "Of course, I did not expect to run into someone like you," he remarked casually."

She merely smiled slightly before they began to continue.

Kamal slid his hand over the railing of the ship, smiling slightly. "It is quite an extraordinary ship, Hesam. I am impressed by your willingness."

The man nodded before joining his master. "I only wish I could do more for you, Sire." Kamal turned to him. "You have done enough, but we must depart soon. The Sands of Time have locked away in the past; the Empress will hold the answer, but we shall deal with that later on. For now, we must concentrate on the second-"

Kamal stopped abruptly, his eyes roaming their surroundings before landing a young girl. "Is there something the matter?" Hesam asked, apparently not noticing the girl.

"Who… are you?" Kamal asked silently as the girl approached him. She had long black hair falling over her shoulders, and was wearing a violet garment which fell up to her ankles. She also wore plain beige sandals and a silver bracelet on her right wrist. However, her eyes were a deep cerulean color, staring straight into Kamal's empty ones.

"I am the soul of the forgotten past and future, the time you were born of," she stated before giggling somewhat and suddenly disappearing.

"Sire?" Hesam asked once more as a soldier ran up on deck. "Captives have escaped the temporary dungeons, and we have discovered passage which should lead to the docks."

Hesam turned to him. "Alright then, assemble a unit and halt their movements. Should it be needed, notify me immediately."

The soldier nodded and ran off as Hesam slowly followed, stealing a suspicious glare at his master.

"Ah, finally; we made it!" Massoud exclaimed as the four walked out on the large brick platform which lay beside two ships.

A large concrete canopy which connected to the palace hovered above and created a small port.

"We have to move quickly if we are to seize a ship and escape," Massoud explained as he walked over to the first ship.

However, the true entrance opened and a small group of soldiers ran out.

The Prince gritted his teeth and turned to Hesam. "Get the ship ready; I'll handle this!" he stated as he tackled a soldier down and jerked his sword from his hand.

He then jammed the sword into the soldier's stomach and then removed it, blocking an attack from the next opponent and severing his body in half.

A few soldiers leapt onto the ship as Massoud and the others climbed up on it. He scowled and took out his dagger before impaling one of the soldiers and knocking down another.

The Prince quickly dismantled the other before rushing to the gate handle and began to turn it. The massive metal gate began to lift, allowing exit from the cavern.

Massoud kicked the last soldier off the ship and began to ready it, turning the switch to turn the oars.

"Untie the sails!" he yelled the ship began to move forward. Farah and Kaileena ran over to the sails and began to undo the knots as the Prince jumped up and climbed onboard.

The ship slid out of the port and into the open, passing another, larger ship.

The Prince glared at the figure standing on the ship as it began to set sail.

(Is the chapter longer? I hope so, but school's back, so I won't be able to update every other day, but I'll try on the weekends.)
