"Thanks for the eggs by the way, you two." Zeldris said, coming down the stairs with Elizabeth and Melascula. "You're very welcome, Sir Zeldris. Lady Melascula was a big help." Elizabeth said with a bright smile. "Uh...Well..." Melascula muttered with a bright blush, before she noticed Zeldris placing down something on the table. "What's that, Captain?" She asked, floating up to the table. "If what Gilthunder said was true, Estarossa's got himself thrown into prison. Trying to find a faster route to Baste so we can break him out." Zeldris stated. "Oh right...I can't believe he was the first to get caught." Melascula said with a worried look. "Oh, Estarossa of Love? I always heard he was very powerful." Elizabeth said. "Oh, he is. Out of all of the Ten Commandments, I've only seen him lose one fight. His strength is something else entirely..." Melascula explained. "Wow. Only one?" Elizabeth asked, amazed. "She's right. What he lacks in the ability to take things seriously, he makes up for with his overwhelming power." Zeldris answered. "I see...It seems Estarossa's a bit of goofball." Elizabeth said, not being able to help but smile. "Hehe...Oh, Captain? Is there anything else you learned from Gilthunder?" Melascula asked. "Apparently...Drole and Gloxinia have been killed." Zeldris answered.
"K...Killed?! Oh my..." Melascula stammered. "Don't worry too much, Mela. I'm not buying a second of it." Zeldris said. "Gloxinia of Repose and Drole of Patience? What are...or were they like?" Elizabeth asked curiously. "Oh well, they were...just a little bit of an odd duo. Near complete opposites and yet always paired up together." Melascula said, slightly smiling. "Well, opposites attract, right?" Elizabeth stated. Melascula giggled a little at that, knowing it was true. Meanwhile, Zeldris was looking down at the map, analyzing every possible way to get to Baste that could also bring in some customers for business. "Hey, Lady Elizabeth? Could you please get me some black paint from the storage closet? " He said, concentrated. "Absolutely!" She said, going to get the paint. She came back with a little bucket that Zeldris lightly took from her hands. He dipped his finger and marked the path he wanted to take.
"There we go! Hey, Mela? Could you find out how long this route should take us to get there?" Zeldris said. Melascula looked closer at the newly marked route. "Let's see...Since Nebbie's moving at 20 miles per hour, seeing the weather will 90% stay sunny, and Baste Prison being around 600 miles away...If we don't stop on the way there...Oh, we should arrive in about three to four days!" She said, smiling softly. Elizabeth was clearly amazed, the Ten Commandments were only becoming more interesting by the second. "Oh my...Lady Melascula, did you just piece that together?" She asked. Melascula blushed intensely, once again getting flustered with Elizabeth's attention. "Oh...W...Well, it was just some calculations, no biggie..." She stammered. Zeldris smirked, watching the timid Melascula once again fall victim to Elizabeth's innocent joy before turning back to the map once more.
Elizabeth looked at the route Zeldris marked, noticing the circle around a specific town. "What's that place you've marked, Sir Zeldris?" She asked. "A town that's not too far from Baste Prison, it's called Dalmally. I'm wanting to let Nebbie and the tavern stay away from Baste enough to where it won't be in the crossfire. Breaking Estarossa out will likely not be a too easy task." Zeldris explained. "It's definite that there'll be many guards surrounding, would it be wise to make a scene?" Melascula asked. "No, it wouldn't. Would you be able to open a portal to the inside?" Zeldris asked. "That's the bad part about using my ability, I can only open portals to places I've seen." Melascula admitted. Zeldris sighed, his idea crumbled. "A shame but it's fine, we'll just have to sneak in ourselves." Zeldris said. "What shall we do when we make it inside?" Elizabeth asked. Zeldris' eye shot open, a slight nervous look spread through his eyes. "Uh...shoot..." Zeldris muttered.
"Is something...wrong?" Elizabeth asked, slightly confused as why Zeldris' mood shifted. "Elizabeth...I'm not bringing you on this mission." He admitted. Melascula slightly nodded in agreement. "Wh...But why?" Elizabeth said, a sad look appearing. "It's too dangerous for you to be out in a hostile situation and you're going to get hurt. Me and Melascula can handle this ourselves, ok?" He said. "B...but..." Elizabeth stammered. "Just...don't worry about it." He said, before stretching his back. Melascula stayed silent with a little empathetic glance. "Anyways, let's all get some rest. We've got a long few days ahead of us."
The two nodded as they walked up the stairs to get ready for bed. Zeldris took one last look at the map, before saying "Hold on, Brother. We're coming..."
Estarossa stepped through the hall he was currently in, walking around for about an hour or so. "Really wish this place was brighter, could see where I was going... Oh, you've got to be kidding." He muttered, seeing Jericho's body still on the ground and the door he busted knocked down. "I went in a CIRCLE?! HOW BIG IS THIS PRISON?!" He yelled, his voice echoing through the prison. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down the best he could. "Ok...Here we go again." He told himself, setting off once more.
