Chapter 4

Carol's rescue mission

Carol walked inside Ariaz's house, and headed for the weaponry that he had, looking around for what she could use, she picked up some armlets and relaxed her grand spear on her shoulder. She was going to the Cerinian Town of where Ariaz was taken: A rescue mission.

Making her way down the tree quietly, she started to walk slowly and cautiously towards the next few rows of trees, making her way towards the gate of the town, it was closed, so there was only one thing to do: Climb.

She twirled her grappling hook and threw it into the sky, landing on the wall, locking into the concrete.She started topull herself up the wall, determined to rescue her friend. She placed her arm on the wall and pulled herself onto the top, gazing at the town, the torches that kept it from the night sky, the buildings made out of stone, gardens almost everywhere, fountains…Carol like the haven better.

She climbed down the wall and into the town, creeping her way into the palace, guards may have guarded the front gates, but she climbed onto the wall with grappling gloves, allowing her to walk and crawl on walls. She crawled into the palace without Guards noticing her and slowly touched the marble floor, looking at a small table near the prison gate, on top of it was the keys, she slowly grabbed them, alerting no one around her. She entered the gate and looked around for Ariaz, she found Blitz first.

"Blitz?"

"How do you know my name?"

"I'm Carol, I am a thief too, I'm here to get you and Ariaz out of here."

"Alright…then go on."

Carol placed the key in the lock, unlocking the door and letting Blitz out of his cell, the two ran across many cell doors, trying to find Ariaz, but he wasn't in either one.

"Where is he?"

"Ariaz wasn't taken to the cells, he must have been taken to somewhere else…follow me, I think I know where he is."

Carol ran with Blitz, hoping that he might know where they are holding Ariaz, she couldn't leave without him. Blitz ran up the stairs and pushed the judges chair, where a hidden door was built in the wall. Carol looked confused, wondering what a door would be doing in the back of the judges chair.

"Well come on Carol, you want to save Ariaz right?"

Carol nodded and followed Blitz into the chamber, wondering where this would lead to, Blitz moved the stone slab in front of them to the side, allowing Carol to find Ariaz chained in the center of the room of cog wheels, the cog wheels turned for a certain time and fired an arrow each time they made three full rotations, scarring his back.

"Hold onAriaz, I'll get you out of this."

Carol unlocked his wrists and legs, helping him up before another arrow could fire directly into his flesh. She and Blitz dragged Ariaz to the wall, healing him the best way they could, but he was losing a great amount of blood, Carol looked down at Ariaz as his breathing was becoming slower, and slower.

"Come on Ariaz, we'll get you to the haven, please hold on!"

Ariaz…had stopped breathing, his lifeless body lied against the wall.

"No…no, please, please Ariaz, don't leave me behind!"

Carol cried as she hugged Ariaz, Blitz's ears lowered as his face was filled with guilt.

"I love you."

A tear rolled down Carols face and onto Ariaz's chest, but it stopped in the center, and formed into a golden liquid, now forming around his body, Carol back away along with Blitz as Ariaz was covered in the golden water, thenthe liquidbounced off him like water hitting a rock, Carol tears rolled down her face with happiness: Ariaz was alive, his scars, his wounds, all healed. He looked at Carol with a smile and a tired look.

"Heaven…is great you know."

Carol wrapped her arms around his neck, she couldn't be anymore happier, the three made their way towards the gate, Ariaz and Blitz were given grappling gloves to follow Carol, they climbed out of the palace and ran towards the wall, climbing the great wall, no one to notice them or stop them.

"Alright, lets get back to the haven, everyone is probably worried about me."

They climbed down the wall and ran towards the forest, climbing into the haven, Carol smiled at Ariaz, knowing that he was with her again, but the golden liquid confused her, but she didn't let her confusion get to her, she had Ariaz back.

Morning/ town

"I DON'T CARE WHAT HAPPENS! BRING HIM BACK! THAT IS AN ORDER!"

"Yes I know your majesty, but what if we can't?"

Krystal lifted Cain off the ground with her paw around his throat.

"Then you're out of a job…permanently, do I make myself clear Cain."

Cain nodded, his plan was falling apart, how did Ariaz escape from the special prison, how did Blitz escape, he was afraid, he only had until midnight to find the thieves. Then he smiled and turned to his queen.

"I know who Ariaz loves."

Krystalknelt down, evil in her eyes, she already had an evil plan inside her mind.

"Tell me."
