Chereads / The Ice Demon / Chapter 16 - The Escape

Chapter 16 - The Escape

With are weapons back we all make are way to the front of the prison. Once we see a small group of soldiers in formation searching for us. So we stop to find are way around them but it looks like we have to go through them to get out. We quickly kill them and run out and find a good hiding spot for now. While we make it out the doors of the prison it surprised me to see no soldiers outside so we immediately went off to find a nice ally way to figure out everything. While we we find a dark ally way we stop there to rest. Julian suggested," I think we should take the uniforms off the enemy's body's and pretend to be one of them until we can get out of the city." I liked this plan but again Jade didn't like it. While Julian, Lux, and I changed into enemy armor and uniforms Jade went to scout out a good place to stay while we find a way to make it through the city. Lucy was just walking around since she looks like a civilian anyways we decide she was probably fine. By this I thought of the idea to send her to find exactly the fastest way to get from the main gate. So we would know which way we can go. Jade didn't agree with this plan but Lucy convinced him anyways.

While everyone is keeping out of sight we look through the eyes of Lucy Romave. Now that I'm alone in this town I need to make sure the gaurds here don't recanize me. So I could find a easy way for us to get out. I going to ask the people here if they know which way out of the city. I walk around a little bit and to my surprise there's so many people out and about as if this war isn't even happening. I asked this one man who was selling about this town. He asked me," Hey you want to buy anything I have all kinds of fruits and veggies if your looking to buy?" I answer with," Sorry but no, I seem to have lost my way in the city and ended up here. Can you tell me which way is it to the main gate?" He answers," I'll answer your questions if you make a deal with me? How about you give me one gold piece and I'll give you your answers." I think to myself, One gold piece is to expensive for a bit of info. I tell him," Sorry but no I'll do one silver piece though." His face looks deeply disappointed. He then comes closer and says," I know you could afford my first, Miss Romave. If you want me to I can always just go to gaurds and turn you in." I froze how did he know who I was? I asked him that very thing he said," What would like to know is why did your Empire all of a sudden attack us? We've done nothing wrong, we have always liked be friends with you people until now you start a war against us for no reason! Tell me why did your people attack us I thought we were friends?!" At this point I saw many other people begin to look at us. And I'm quite confused on what he mean as we started the war. I say," What do you mean we started the war. Are people were attack by 100 of soldiers that belonged to the Tula army." His face looks really angry and yells," What the hell do you mean we didn't start this war we were living peacefully until your army attack are Fortress!!!" I then hear many people around me yell," What the hell are you doing here?! We lived in peace until your people attacked us!!" I then saw a couple of gaurds making there way over here. I then begin to run the opposite direction then suddenly I feel someone grab me and pulled into an ally way. I then see a tall man hold onto my mouth keeping me quite. I then see the gaurds run straight by me. The man uncovered my mouth and said to me," Hello your Highness may I ask what your doing here?" I first ask who he is and he answered with," I am Alex and I was sent here to learn more about are enemy. Now follow me so I could lead you out the city also where did your friends go?"

Alex is a soldier apart of the army of O'khasis and he told me he was learning about our enemy and found out that the Kingdom of Tula never started this war. He told me he believes that another nation made it look like Tula attacked Bornova. And this made me start thinking if Tula didn't attack Bornova and we attack that Fortress, that means Tula sees us as the bad ones for attacking them. I say, " We have to make things right if that's true this war is for no reason." We run back to where we left Nikita and everyone else and once we meet up with them we tell them what's happening and they're all surprised if this is true.

Switch back to Nikita perspective. I say, " If all this is true we need to make this right so no more will die to this pointless war." Jade then says, " I believe we should go sneak into the headquarters where Prince Luke is staying and convince him are selves to stop this war." Alex then says, " That's a good idea but that base is right in the center of town watch follow me I'll show you the way." We all then follow but right when it gets dark we stop right in front of the building to my surprise there's not a single gaurd in sight. Then all of a sudden we all hear a loud boom behind us. We all turn around to see a explosion hitting Julian. Then we see Daniel standing behind Julian with 6 different soldiers.
