The earth lights up again. "Rinehart to your mech. Everyone fly with your vehicles right now!"
Theodore runs towards safety too but it was too late as the earth beneath him disappeared. He falls down. He closes his eyes preparing to die. He feels the touch of steel. Theodore doesn't feel falling anymore. He opens his eyes only to see Ghost's mech. "Thinking we will let you die?" Ghost said. "Yes, happy I was wrong!" Theodore chuckled.
They flew up the gap. Theodore looks down and he sees the old mine. "Guess this was a setup by the gods for a long time now…" Ghost remained silent to the comment. They arrive to safety and everyone was happy to see them alive. "Didn't miss me this much didn't you guys?" He looks at the sky. "Let's head to my castle. We need a break now."
Theodore gets on Ghost's mecha. "Follow me everyone!" The army prepares their vehicles ready to fly. Ghost's mecha started flying. "Ghost, you can see my castle 145 meters away."
Ghost was not intrigued. "So what would've happened if they declined you?" "BOOM!" Ghost chuckles at the remark. "You are nuts man!"
They arrive at the gates. The housekeeper comes at the gates. "Who do I owe the pleasure to?"
"TO THE MASTER OF THIS LANDS ULFRIC!" Theodore shouts, his tone was angry and faced matched the voice. "M~M Master Theodore?!" The gates open up in the next second Ulfric said his name. The army comes in. "This place is way bigger than Castle black."
"Don't tell that to Hunter, you'll only challenge him."
Theodore climbs down the mech and rushes himself inside where all his servants await him. "Welcome back lord Bloodhearth." Theodore gives a respectful nod. "Thank you for keeping this place in good shape." Many of the servants noticed he doesn't have his right arm. They whisper to each other. Theodore ignores them and heads to his throne.
He sits on it and sighs. He opened the wide holo screen and watched the news. On the doors all his army members look at the screen. "Now we wait." Ulfric comes to him and asks: "What do we do with your war party sir." He looks at Ulfric. "Bring them to the guard section. They will have beautiful warm beds, a good place to sleep and eat" Ulfric leads them to the guards section, only Ghost and Rinehart stay to see the outcome. They move closer to their friend.
"What should we expect?" Asked Rinehart. "Anything, even the assassination of the king is a possibility." Theodore's eyes slowly close and his posture slowly moves forward, he shakes his head and still looks at the screen. "I guess I have to sleep." He gets up. "I don't know if something will happen tonight. I am too tired for any of this bullshit. I guess you could watch the news until something happens. I suggest you guys sleep." He goes in a long hallway, on his right there is a huge set of stairs.
Theodore slowly gets up the stairs and reaches the middle floors. He reimagines his times before the war where he was happy. 'Common daddy we need to train today, remember' Echoes from his mind contamin his vision.
Theodore sees himself as a child, playing sword fights with his father. With slow footsteps he arrives at the master bedroom. He opens the door and everything is clean. New sheets, new pillows, everything is new. Theodore drops down on the bed and instantly sleep takes over him.
