*It was the next day with Benedict and Ryder awakening from their slumber, planning out what they will do next*
"Good morning, how'd you sleep?" Ryder asked.
"Fine, you?" Benedict asked.
"Yeah, I'm good." Ryder said as he began to stretch his muscles.
The two of them began to exit their cave, looking for resources to survive for the week.
"I'll handle our hunger issue, you'll be in charge of getting more resources, ok?" Ryder said as he left to go hunting.
Benedict stood up and sighed.
"Who's he to be in charge of the two of us?" Benedict sighed, clearly annoyed.
Ryder ventured into the woods, looking for some food for the two of them to eat.
"I wonder when will these animals appear, I can't go back to Securis without bringing some food." Ryder said to himself as he held his stomach that was grumbling of hunger.
Meanwhile Securis went to collect a bundle of sticks used as fuel to cook the food that Ryder will bring later.
"I guess his should be enough, now where is that fool, he better not keep me waiting, I'm starting to get famished..." Benedict said as he sat down, holding his stomach, struggling to handle his hunger.
Eventually, Ryder finally found himself two animals for both him and Benedict to eat on for the day.
"Finally, that took a while, I best be careful, one wrong move and they might run away." Ryder said to himself.
He slowly approached towards the two animals and used his twin rapier swords and killed both of the animals.
"Phew, I thought it was going to take a lot longer than expected, guess I was wrong." Ryder chuckles to himself.
"Well time for me to bring both of these to the shelter, Securis must be waiting." Ryder said as he carried the two animals he had slain.
He eventually made his way back to the shelter place where Benedict was waiting for him with his arms crossed, looking at him with little anger.
"Well that took you long enough." Benedict said.
"Sorry if it took that long but patience is key after all." Ryder replied.
"Hmph...I guess you're right with that one, let me take the other animal." Benedict said as he went to grab the dead animal.
Both of them went on to cook the two animals for them to eat.
After some time they eventually finished up eating their meal and went on to rest for the night.
"So Securis, could you tell me why do you fight?" Ryder asked.
"Hm, I don't have to explain myself to a Gladian like you!" Benedict said.
"Ok, I guess you still don't trust me." Ryder replied.
"Yup, I still don't, so don't pull any tricks or any funny business, Rapier." Benedict grunted, trying to sleep.
"Ok I'll take note of that." Ryder said as he went to sleep.
*Meanwhile in Clypeus and in Gladius*
"It's been days and our strongest warrior, Securis still hasn't came back yet." The ruler of Clypeus stated.
"Ryder, where could you possibly be now?" Lucien said to himself.
"Both of our kingdoms have lost our dear warriors, we must search for both of them." The ruler of Gladius said.
"We shall make a temporary truce for now and go search for our respective kingdoms' heroes." The ruler of Clypeus said.
*In the underground dungeon*
"Hey prisoner, have yourself a bit of the news." The prison guard said as he tossed the newspaper in the cell.
In the newspaper, it states that both Benedict and Ryder have gone missing.
"Wh-what..." Elara said.
"Big brother...where are you now..." Elara cried out.
*Back to Benedict and Ryder who are both resting in their shelterplace*
"Mother, Father, one day, once this war is over, we will meet again someday." Ryder said to himself.
"Elara, I will come for you and make those Gladius bastards pay for what they did to you and to our family." Benedict said to himself angrily in his sleep.
*The next day, the duo both wake up to start the next day, training themselves to get even stronger*
As the two of them ventured off, they found an enemy outpost nearby their area and decided to go to that area.
"Hey, you see that over there?" Benedict said.
"Yup that's an enemy outpost, what about it?" Ryder asked.
"Let's go ahead and pillage the area." Benedict said as he rushed towards to storm the area.
"Oi oi, fool. Don't go in there so recklessly!" Ryder said as he went to chase after Benedict.
The enemy forces heard the sudden footsteps of Benedict and quickly went ahead and charged towards them.
"Shit...I knew I should have stopped him from the get-go...damn it..." Ryder said.
Benedict uses his shield and blocks the arrows being inflicted upon him. He swings his axe to fend off against the enemy forces.
Ryder joins in and fends off the other enemy forces to help out Benedict.
"Next time if you do something like that, inform me!" Ryder said angrily.
"First time meeting someone as reckless as me?" Benedict said as he was slaying another officer.
"Yes!" Ryder replied.
But as the two were continuing to bicker and argue, they didn't realize the enemy brought back up and captured them mid-conversation.
"Great...it's your fault!" Benedict said.
"How is it my fault? You started it!" Ryder said angrily.
"Me?" Benedict said, raising his eyebrow.
"Yeah, if you hadn't rush in their so recklessly we wouldn't be in this state right now." Ryder replied angrily.
"I guess you're right..." Benedict said.
Both Benedict and Ryder are now trapped under an enemy dungeon where they are forced to live the rest of their lives for their crime.
"So what's the plan now genius?" Ryder said with his arms over his head.
"We break out of this place of course." Benedict replied.
Ryder simply laughed.
"What's so funny, fool?" Benedict asked.
"I'm sorry but just saying get out requires a well detailed plan so let me be the one ein charge of our break out." Ryder said.
"Because if I learned one thing, you're a little reckless when it comes to making a plan." Ryder said.
"Fine...we'll do it your way, Mr. Smart-Ass." Benedict said, crossing his arms and rolling his eyes.
And thus the heroes are currently trapped in a dungeon and planning their way to break free from their cell while in the outside world, both the kingdoms of Clypeus and Gladius are currently in the search for their respective strongest warriors and Elara is still trapped in the dungeon of Gladius...
What will happen next...stay tuned to find out...
