"I thought you were captured," Aasan said, showing off the flag in his hand.
"So you captured the flag alone, to negotiate with their leader to free me with the flag," Michelle snorted.
"Well, I found the fortress empty, and not many guards where the flag was kept, so picked it up," he said. Then gazed at the lady in the ring of fire. "Is she the leader?"
''Looks like it," Michelle said. "So how do we take control of the stronghold?"
Before Aasan or the lady could answer, a dozen fellows appeared from behind, bearing their weapons.
"Protect the mistress," one of them yelled as was about to attack Aasan. While few of them started to encircle Michelle.
"Shut up you guys," the leader in the ring of fire snorted at her underlings. "How incompetence of you guys, could not even stop a single guy from taking the flag?"
The guards went silent where Aasan snickered, "Oh, it's not their fault, they were not just facing any guy."
