Eira chocked on her pain, she wouldn’t let give the king that satisfaction. She had to get out. Her magic was depleated and she couldn’t get a message to anyone. How? Someone please help me prayed someone would come to help soon.

She finished just as he stormed into the kitchens. He snatched the plate adn went off, mumbling about stupid traitors and what not. "You're dismissed until supper time" he called back to her. She made a mad dash for the door and went up to her room. the king gave her a luxurious room, Her being his cooking second in command so to speak. She dressed in regular, not food stained clothes, grabbed her bag and was off into the streets to busy herself until 7, when she had to come "home" to feed his suckish highness.

"Please." Carter whispered to the merchant. "This is the third time, Carter," he responded, "you've eaten my food that you cannot pay for. You are a good man, son, but I can't give you special treatment. If you don't have the money by tomorrow, I will be forced to turn you in to the authorities." "Fine, I'm sorry." he shrugged off, and while the merchant turned to a paying customer, he slipped a loaf of bread in his jacket.

“Come on…” She whispered, “Someone please help me…” She wondered how much longer she would be alive for.

As Calista walked down the hallway she passed that room… the tourcher room. she knew his victum was in there and decided she should finally rebel, even if he didnt know it was her. she silently went in and saw a person badly shaken up and walked up to them. "i dont knwo who you are or what you did but be quiet and come with me" she paused "were getting you out of here. i hope you can walk and quickly" she reached out a hand to the person

“Why…. why are you helping me?” Eira asked, trying not to let her body shake.

"Because you deserve it and i wish the king were out of power, possibly more than you do. and i despratly wish to have powers of my own… since i cant i figure helping those who do is as good as i can do" she said

Once Eira’s chains were off she collapsed, using the wall to help her up, “You work for him though,” her voice was raspy, “If you hate him, why work for him?”

"Because i dont have anywhere else to go… this is the only home i've ever known and if i leave ill be in your position" she paused… "and it gives me a boost, and maybe it'll help me help magic users"

Eira made a low laugh, “You’ll definitely be helping magic users…” She cocked her head, “What’s you…” A cough, “Name?”

"Calista, yours?" she thought a moment, "do you want some help there, you look terrible"

“Eira, and that would be helpful…” She said ad tried a smile at Calista.

She smiled and walked closer and held out a hand to the new found "friend"

Eira took it gladly, barely able to support herself on her own. The King had done a bloody good job, “Thanks.”

"anytime, lets just get out of here" she walked slowly toward the door, careful not to move too quick

Eira nodded, hoping her returning strength would come soon, “Is it possible to get to the markets?”

"i was headed there anyway. its a personal escape from this hell hole" she said, opening the door, checking to make sure the hall was clear and stearted down the hall again

“Alright, good… let’s get there fast.” Eira followed Calista out the cell.

Calista pushed a brick in with her foot and a stone doorway swung open. "After you" she said, guesturing to the secret hallway

Eira stood with her mouth open for a moment then shook her head, entering the hall, “How’d you find this?”

"when you live in a place for your lifetime you get to know every nook and crannie well. especially when you're forced to be best friends with someone like… him" she shuddered
