Read Chapter 1 here Chapter 2 - Think Back
Sebastian wakes up early on a rainy morning, blaming himself for all the sorrow that the people of his village have gone through, unable for him to help them ,his wife, taken by that tyrant who feeds of other's people's suffering like a snake who wants to eat you after he infected you with deadly poison.
The front door started moving, Sebastian stands up instantly. Ready to confront any danger that awaits him. He could see a big shadow of the man carrying a sword. Quickly he grabs his sword from the table and puts it on the mysterious man's neck.
"Who are you?" He asked
"I live here, I'm Albert. Your Sebastian right ?" he said frightened of what he is capable of
He has heard all the stories about Sebastian. How he saved that village, all by himself. How he fought with a bear, without any weapons and survived. It's a legend upon the land.
"Yes, I'm Sebastian. That tyrant put a bounty on my head and destroyed my village. "
"They've taken my wife, my people . I have to go rescue them before it's too late." He says angrily.
" Okay, so what's your plan? " Albert asks.
They are gathering around the dinner table and are trying to contemplate a plan that will lead to destroying the tyrant's empire. Tons of guards at every entry and exit it's just like a fortress. Albert takes a map from the top wooden shelf and opens it up. There are 2 exits in and out through the fortress, 1 guard is always patrolling on standby by the entrances.
"Listen tightly Sebastian, this is going to be a heavy mission for us. We go in from the north entrance, try to kill as many guards as possible silently and we should be in. They are holding your people in the basement. We get there and save your people"
" It's one crazy plan, I hope it works. But once we're in we have to put an end to that tyrant. I will do it myself!" Sebastian says furiously.
Back at the fortress the tyrant and his guards are celebrating the takeover the village, the smell of steak and wine it cloaks the whole empire. They are leaving the prisoners to starve underneath them like some unwanted pets. They have to get rescued or they will live their whole life as slaves for the tyrant, doing all his dirty work and growing his fat belly.
Sebastian and Albert pack what they need and head off towards the fortress. They light up a torch and go through the dark forest guided by Albert using the moon to their advantage as a compass they head straight to the fortress. More than 3 hours pass till they see the bright firelight from the fortress. It looks impenetrable with thick rocky walls and arched windows around the gate.
They take a deep breath and another look at the fortress and head straight towards it. The plan is to get inside, save the prisoners and kill the tyrant and who stands in their way. Looking up at the wall, they see their entrance, he uses a cowboy loop lasso around the edge of the fortress and starts climbing. Each step Sebastian takes he's one more step closer to his wife.
They got inside, there is one guard right below them standing in front of the steel gate. Going down the stairs, Albert gets his handcrafted wooden bow and arrow, aims for the head and pulls. He is one cold blooded man, They carry on down the stairs and follow on to the hallway. They can hear 2 heavy people walking towards them.
" Hide hide, quick " Sebastian whispers.
They get to a safe place and take their swords out. Steps come closer and closer, their hearts are beating like old clocks . Just before they get spotted they quickly use the element of surprise to their advantage and get through safely. Pulling the bodies together in a room they continue moving towards the prison. Albert knows the way perfectly through the fortress. He was caught by the tyrant and put into the prison, but he escaped. He's one hell of a man.
" The entrance to the prison is right at the end of the hallway on the left. " Albert says
" Thank you brother, " Sebastian says.
Running towards the door quickly to save his village, someone heard the running and opened his door and see's Sebastian. Taking his metal sword and running towards him.
" Sebastian! " He shouts .
Quickly Sebastian runs towards him and each sword that they clash together in the perfect synchronicity with the music. They can't afford to waste time so Albert gets his bow and shoots the guard in the back of the head while Sebastian was held to the wall.
They go in the basement and see everyone that Sebastian cares about. His wife there, all in agony of never getting out of there has ended. There were steel bars long from wall to wall and cramped there like some animals. They see one guard in front of the door, with the keys for the door's in the right pocket could hear them in his pocket. This was their chance.
" Fast let's get the keys and these people out of here! "Sebastian says ambitiously to save his people.
They run towards the guard and by the time they get spotted the keys are in their hands. The people finally thinking that they will get saved after a long time in agony and no hope. Hope was reborn again. His wife is there, covered up in the dust on her white dress he lets his sword down and hugs his wife like they were never seen each other in years.
"Hey , it's going to be Okay, I'm here okay ? He says
"Okay, so what now ? " she says.
" Follow Albert, he will take you safe away from here "
"But where are you going ? Are you not coming with us ?
" Not yet, I got some unfinished business to do. "
They all follow Albert towards the exit door quietly and go in the forest.
