Strange Waters

The Calvary is coming

Hours passed before Sandy was brought back to her cell, and as the gates opened, she was pushed to the ground by the guard who had served them food earlier, but now he had a band-aid on his head. He had a funny look with a band-aid on. But he must have had a severe hit on the head. His infuriated anger towards Sandy was provoked by the fact that she kept walking sluggishly, staring at the walls and cells to check for Ibinabo and maybe see if there was anyone else down here. To him she was looking for a way to escape which there wasn't and she was wasting his time.

"Hey,!! Take it easy...." Startled, Prince Jath yelled at the guard as he tried to get Sandy up to her feet.

The guard said nothing but with the stare and look on his face, it was clear enough that he enjoyed the torment he had inflicted on both of them. Still fixing his stare on Jath, he locked the gates and put the keys to his right pocket, looked away and walked away with a smirk.

"Hey, are you hurt?"... " What happened?".... Prince Jath asked picking up Sandy's face to look at him. She seemed okay just a scratch on her knees and a bad hair day. 

"I'm okay. I was just being questioned, I was put in a room, it was dark and cold,... It,.... it had statutes and a tomb.. I told them the truth but it seems like they didn't appreciate it enough. So I had to make up a story that seemed believable. I told them I was an orphan farmer on the outskirts of the city, paid to help you and the rest come into the city."

She said looking at prince Jath in hope that she didn't complicate the situation more than it already was. But he said nothing. At this point in time not one of them had a clue of what was right or wrong anymore. 

"Had you by any chance laid eyes on Ibinabo or the others?".... He asked with a spark of hope of an affirmative response from her but he was brought back to gloom when Sandy shook her head in the negative.

He sat back with her and promised her they would be out anytime soon and apologize to her for involving her in this mess."Sometimes maybe I should just know when to quit"... He said looking down at Sandy.

Sandy was already involved, not just in this, but this life, this worlds, everything was too much for her but she was already involved in too deep so she had to play along to everything so it can all be over soon then maybe she will be able to release herself from this fictitious life she lives. Sandy smiled back at him for all the things he said to comfort her but she didn't really need that much comforting. she actually enjoyed the moments that she had been through so far. Prince Jath smiled back as he held her hands and she rests her head on his arms. They had been weirder moments between the prince and Sandy in the past but nothing was more strange for them when the both noticed they had become a little too close to each other over a very short period of time. So to avoid an awkward situation they both sit in silence with their thoughts.

Back at the woods, up the hills, Lord Nathan and His two acolytes had already come to the path where the farmers on the outskirts threaded to the Pacific City gates. They hid and surveyed the movements and affairs of this people for hours so as to ascertain the right time and way to go about the invasion. Meanwhile, Desmond and the selected Warriors prepared and joined them when the night came. The attack was planned in a discreet place right near the paths. One of the farmers who seem to enjoy working late planting Seeds and harvesting Veggies was abducted and was coerced to lead them towards the city walls and lure one of the guards out of the gate. As the guard came out to see why the farmer was going about like he was lost. Lord Nathan and his Acolytes went first and abducted the guard, undressed him and disarmed him. One of the warriors who fits the Pacific warriors physique and description took over the clothes and helmet then went to the gates and knocked on it. They warriors on the inside opened as they saw him in their armour and helmet as though it was the warrior who left earlier. As he got in, he drew his sword and slew the first guard and got to the other who sat far from his sword, before he could pick his sword as he didn't want to slay him too. He binded him and went ahead to open the gates for Lord Nathan and the rest to majestically walk. They all got in and their numbers was substantive. They dragged in the farmer to show where the prison cells and castles were. After the earlier attack, the city was on alert and heavily guarded at all Munster point. The farmer brought them to the path that lead to the prison. They proceeded quietly towards the castle up ahead. It was heavily guarded, there was alot of knights patrolling the entrance. It was almost impossible to take them out and successfully rescue the Captured. Lord Nathan was out of options and he was to careful to make decisions out of pressure. So he told them to retreat to an abandoned barn. It seemed impossible to fight them all. So he came up with a plan to get one of his Acolytes sent out to surrender and have him arrested and brought into the prison where he can start an attack from inside while the guards outside run in to fend off any attack then they would charge and attack them from behind. Just after an hour of deliberation and preparation, the plan was executed and it worked so far. They successfully got into the prison and began their search for the Prince, Sandy, Ibinabo and the two warriors who had accompanied the Prince before they got captured.
