As William was getting pulled away, he was still watching the fight from a large distance. "You really didn't have to pull me away. I know how to defend myself."

"Oh, yes I do. If I weren't afraid of being killed, I would have gotten Xavier out of there too. He's not a soldier, and Claria needs him. Now come on!" Ruby passed by Isobel and promptly grabbed her arm, taking her with her down the dungeon stairwell.

William did a small scoff, "Why do you even care? It's not like you know me or something. I can handle anything, at least I'm experienced with fighting."

"I didn't know any of the cooking staff either." Again, she pushed away the stone and hurried them all down the hallway. "I don't care if I'm a queen, I'm not risking people dying."

"If he wants to go fight, let him. That's what boys do. You and me need to get to the safe rooms." Isobel said firmly

"No. Absolutely not. He's not a soldier, no matter how much insists." Ruby let them climb up the trapdoor into the tree hollow. "Stay here, no buts. Especially you, William." She orders. Her face crinkles with worry. "Do you think Victorie, Claria, and Xavier are alright? I keep thinking I should go back for more people, but there's not many more I can evacuate without getting harmed myself." Ruby was a truly selfless kid.

Andion hissed at the pain that shot through him, “Mirti is good, but not as good as me. He’s also injured so that’ll slow him down. We have a fair shot.” He said to Xavier.

"Well, that good news at least." Xavier lifted his sword a little higher and pointed it at the people on front of him. "I would rather not get blood all over my decorations, but if I must I will." He swung his sword and caught one of the guys in the leg. The scream filled the room as he fell to the floor.

”You’re getting better, yet you do the same as Mitri. Keep your left side defended.” Andion said, clutching his side with his bare hand and taking down another three of Mitri’s minions.

Xavier noticed Andion's hand on his side. "Are you hurt?" Xavier only took a quick look for second when someone charged at him. Lifting his sword he blocked him, but it was a close call. "Sorry man." Xavier ducked under and stabbed the man in the gut. He hated killing people, this wasn't his first kill though. He has been out to fight before. "You need help."

“I’m fine.” Andion gritted out before killing a few more of the men. He wasn’t it was clear he wasn’t but he was a solider and would fight through the injury.

(Okay just popped in to say it's "FREE COOKIES IF THY JOIN" or "FREE COOKIES IF THOU JOINS")

(Yeah, whatever.)

William folded his arms, "I've never seen anyone worry about others as much as you do. Sometimes I forget that you're even a queen."

"I swear if you die, I'll bring you back to life and then kill you myself!" He shouted as a man got Xavier in the shoulder. Xavier held back the scream as he sliced the mans side. The sword still lodged in his shoulder he turned around and got another man. "They just keep coming. How many people did he bring?"

“Not many more, he’s not stupid enough to bring all his forces.” Andion replied, yanking the sword out of Xavier’s shoulder, “What did I say about your left side!?”

"Are you seriously lecturing me right now?" Blood now spilled down his arm and on to the floor. My left side is now useless. Xavier was glad Claira wasn't in the room anymore to see this. "Let's just finish them off and go get patched up." Though he couldn't use his left arm, he still put up a good fight and took most of the down with help from Andion of course.

“It’s always a good time for a lecture from your teacher. There’s not many left, let’s make this quick.” Andion replied, taking out another two of the remaining men.

William folded his arms, "I've never seen anyone worry about others as much as you do. Sometimes I forget that you're even a queen."

Ruby rolled her eyes. "Well, what am I supposed to do instead? Sit on my throne and look regal while hundreds of people die around me? No way." She lingered in the trapdoor, still unsure whether to go back.

"Don't even think about it, you're going to get yourself killed out there. I'm pretty sure that everyone is safe for now. You need to stop worrying too much about others and just focus on protecting the people that are with us." William looked at the innocent people, "They need a good leader that they can depend on."

Victoria snuck out and grabbed a decorative sword that was being displayed on the wall. She accidentally cut her finger on it by attempting to grab the blade while realizing the hard way (note the cut finger) it was actually sharp. She then pulled it out by the handle and subsequently nearly dropped it, it was so heavy. But it would have to do, all she had were daggers which weren't the best for defense.

(Alrighty!)

From the corner of William's eye he saw Victoria sneaking out. William decided to follow since he was trying to get closer with her. "Hey, what on earth are you doing my queen?"

"Don't follow me. I'm busy." she growled. "Go back, now."

Claira remained in the now empty passageway that Victoria had snuck out of.
