then the others will follow him. I pray he succeeds!” Prince Caballero who now has his own sword says, “He’s not convincing him, Ethan.” With that he moves into a fighting stance. I look at him then Ethan. They both look grim. I ask, “How do you know? They both look calm enough.” Ethan says, “Kres are very good listeners for a fish.” Prince Caballero glares at him then shrugs his shoulders. I exclaim, “You can hear them. What are they saying?” The Prince says, “Doesn’t matter... Larg has his family in prison so, even if he wanted to switch sides, he won’t. So get ready, now!” I gasp as each man was suddenly defending themselves. The clash of their swords deafening within the circle I stood. Ethan yells out.
    “Tighten the circle... Don’t let any of them through!” I watch in horror as he stabs a man in the chest. All around me, the men I had been traveling with were fighting to keep me alive. Even their two Artthian prisoners were fearsly holding to the circle to protect me. I wanted it to stop. All the blood, the lost of life, for what. There was nothing I could do but watch and wait for my chance to run. I watch the Artthians who move with such deadly grace against the Garlandians. While the Garlandians fought with such brute force compared to them.
    Hearing Captain Artoon’s agonizing cry, I look towards where he last stood. I held my breath, thinking he had been injured. I see instead, that he held the other Captain in a strange embrace. Pulling back he removes his sword from the other man’s body, lowering him gently to the ground. Artoon whispers something to him as the man’s hand goes limp in his hand. He slowly stands up, then charges towards the Garlandian soldiers. I watch as he brutally fights his way towards the gate. Our small circle had some how moved in front of the entrance that we had come through. The soldiers who had guarded it, now layed dead. The Garlandian men that stood behind me now were moving in front of me. Guarding me and the way out of the room.
    Ethan said, “Run Princess, now!” I look at his back. “I can’t just leave... I want to help. There has be something I can do!” Ethan moves back with me allowing the man by his side to close the gap. He grabs me by the arm and quickly pulls me down the path. He says, “You want to help. Then escape Princess... Do not look back, do not stop... This suit you wear can make you invisible use that and live!
    That is how you can help us. Find a way to take back the throne that is rightfully yours. If any of us survive, we will find you, somehow. Take this...
    Virtual map.” He presses a small squared locater device into my hand. “This can guide you back to the ship but be careful and trust no one. Now go!”
    He says pushing me down the path. He then turns rejoining his men. I slowly back down the path watching them fight. My heart sinks as I turn and run. This wasn’t right I thought to myself. How can I just leave? I brush the tears from my checks coming to almost a stop as I moved towards the opening of the cave. I turn back saying aloud to myself. “No, I have to help them!” I press the button on my suit become invisible. If they can’t see me then maybe I can knock the soldiers out or something. As I near the entrance into the room I move close to the wall watching the soldiers fight. I grab a rock off the ground holding it tightly in my hand. It becomes invisible as I closed my fingers around it. This could work I think to myse lf. I just have to be careful. Prince Caballero was fighting off two men and a third was moving up behind him.
    They were fighting closes to where I stood. I moved quickly towards the one that was intending to stab the Prince in the back. I hit him on his head hoping to knock him out. The man falls as Prince Caballero takes out the two soldiers in front of him.
    He growls turning sniffing the air. I watch in horror as he wheels his sword charging towards me. He is going to kill
