me. Instead he shoves me aside knocking me to the ground. I watch as he quickly takes down a man that had been about to kill me. I didn’t understand, how can they see me? I look down at my hands which were not there. Looking up I find Prince Caballero standing over me breathing heavily. He growls, “Get up!” As I slowly stand up I whisper. “You can smell me can’t you.” He looks back at the Garlandians then back at me. He pushes me hard towards the path outside.
    “Go now!” He follows close behind me, leaving me no other option. As we reach the outside I press the button of the suit becoming visible again. “You could have gotten yourself killed.” The Prince says to me. He grabs the locater device from my belt and tosses it to the ground. “Hey, I need that!” I yell at him as I start to pick it back up. “Leave it... I deleted the information stored in it. It’s no good to you now, Princess.” I glare up at him. “So, you’re going to kill me now. Is that it?” I watch him as he looks down one side of the mountain and up the other side. Then he moves towards the cliff looking down. Walking back towards me he says, “I could if that’s what you want. But, I was thinking more along the lines of saving your life.” He grabs me by the arm and pulls me towards the edge of the cliff.
    He ask, “Can you swim?” I gasp trying to jerk my arm out of his hand. I say, “You have to be joking.
    It’s to far. No one can survive that fall.” He shakes me saying, “That’s not what I asked Princess. Can you swim?” Looking around as he spoke to me. I gasp from the pain he was causeing to my arm. I cried, “Yes.” He looked down at me saying, “Good hold onto me tightly and don’t let go.” He starts to pull me into his embrace but I struggle against him.
    “Your crazy! I am not jumping! You jump if you want to, I’ll take the path back down.” I say.
    Prince Caballero suddenly lets go of me. He replies, “Listen... Do you hear that?” I stand there listening, not hearing anything at first. Then I slowly hear the faint sound of men voices. I look towards the path down the mountain. Saying, “More soldiers are coming. I look back towards the opening of the cave. We have to warn them.” The Prince grabs my arm as he says, “They can take care of themselves. I have to get you out of here, now.” I look at him. I say, “But... It’s to far.” He pulls me back into his arms holding me tightly. He only says, “I’m Artthian remember.” He brushes a strand of my hair from cheek. He whispers, “I’m not going to let anything or anyone harm you, my Princess.” He leaps off the cliff with me clinging to him. I kept my face buried against his chest. We hit the ocean sinking deep beneath its waves. I could feel my lungs burning for air. Prince Caballero somehow still had a tight hold on me. I didn’t know how much longer I could hold my breath. He kicked his legs moving us towards the surface. Ours heads poped up above the water.
    Finally, I could take a shaky breath of air. I wipe the water out of my eyes with one of my hands.
    Looking up, I could not believe that we survived, when we shouldn’t have. The Prince looks at me.
    He ask, “Are you ok?” I nod looking at him questionly. It just was not possible for us to still be alive after such a fall. I look back up the mountain side to where we had stood just seconds ago. I silently prayed for Captain Artoon and his men.
    “They’ll be fine. I know Artoon, he’ll get himself and his men out somehow. Right now we have to go.” I look back at him and laugh. “Where should we go, your highness. If you haven’t notice we are in the middle of the ocean thanks to your brillint idea.” I say hitting the water with my fists. Instead of answering me Prince Caballero turns and begins to swim farther out to sea. “You can’t be serious!
    We have to get back on land. Hey... Wait! Hello!
    Arrrrr...” He was just becoming a huge pain, I thought to
