Some of them kicked him, his ribs stinging and Ardreth realized that for sure some of his bones were broken. One of them stepped on his ankle, shattering the bone and the prince screamed, his body shaking from pain as they laughed. Tears gathered in his green eyes, the pain getting worse and worse as he was being some kind of punching bag for them. He wanted to leave, again. He didn't want to be there and wished that his magic would somehow save him. This time though it did not work, it was pointless.
"Dad…please save me." he cried, feeling that his life would truly end right there, when everything suddenly stopped. No one was kicking him anymore and Ardreth, wondering what had happened, opened his eyes only to see his parents.
