The prince's mind was blank for a moment. He was trying to take in what Kaileena had just said. Shawdee is the Second Empress? She separated good from bad? So much of what Kaileena hadn't made since until she said whom the little girl was. But it could possibly be true. Shawdee, the woman who brought the prince to the shoreline of the Island of Time, who escorted the prince to the shoreline when his father was being held captive. Finally the prince said:
"So Shawdee is the Second Empress. Or at least the evil Shawdee is. We need to find her and destroy her before she takes over all of Persia and takes your place." Kaileena nodded in agreement.
The prince knew he needed a stronger sword so he began to look around. He then came across a shelf with all his fathers' favorite swords and daggers. Among them, was a beautiful scimitar. Its handle was a bright gold, which fused into the blade. The blade glowed faintly.
"I think this was my fathers Light Sword. It glows in dark places to lead the way." Said the prince. Both the prince and Kaileena found their way back to the hallway. From there they started to head down another hall.
"We need to get to the top tower. That's most likely where the Second Empress is at." They began to run down the hall again. Then they came to a split hall. The prince knew both halls led to the tower but the left took you to the tower faster. At the end of the hall was a large room, filled with the Second Empress's soldiers. They were all talking and laughing. Suddenly one yelled. Silence, followed with all the guards looking up at the prince and Kaileena.
"I want the girl," yelled one of the guards. Instantly all the guards began running toward the prince and Kaileena. The prince drew his sword. Kaileena did also.
The prince ran at the large crowd of soldiers, his sword aimed directly in front of him. He felt his sword slice through one of the guards. Then he began to swing and block, taking as many soldiers down as he could. Kaileena wasn't doing to bad a job herself.
When there were about five guards left, the prince decided to finish them himself. He ran toward a guard, ran over the guard, stabbed up its back, making it an instant kill, and then began to block the other guard's attacks. When he knew he could attack again, he went for the nearest guard. He swung his sword, getting two guards at once in the stomach. Now there were only two guards left. Easy enough to take. The prince turned around and began to run. The guards followed. When they were right behind him, the prince grabbed hold of a pillar and swung himself around, cutting both guards heads off.
All guards were gone, leaving the prince and Kaileena free to continue to the Second Empress. Little did they know, they were walking into a dangerous trap.
