14 hours before the event starts
I wake 1 in the morning, I look outside the window, I can see lights coming to the middle of the city. But I have a Gut feeling that this doesn't end well.
So I decided to sneak out.
I opened the window and fall to the first floor of outside the mansion and headed to someone who trust Elkon. Her Childhood friend despite not being in contact with him. I think i have fate to him to change this outcome.
I walk to the desolated night and head to the last checkpoint. I look around and There He is. I knocked to the door and He opened it. "You... You're Ms. Elkon's Guard, Why are you here?"
I replied "I want you to help Elkon to escape tomorrow"
"What? What do you mean Escape? Do you expect me to do it? i will lost my job if I do"
And I remember, The paper that was given to me as a treat
"Here, I have evidence"
He look at it and said "This is a paper... And this is a problem but do you expect to believe this? You can easily write this down"
"But I can't, I can't write your language I Only write the only language that I know how l write"
"That make sense... But Don't expect me to do it. But I will contact you infront of the mansion, before you leave"
"Thank you... You're gonna save Ms. Elkon's life"
"Do they told anything about me?"
"I think she only told me, But for Crista... I don't know"
"I see, Go now, Probably go back to your place"
In the early morning.
I sneakily gone back to my room, And got my clothes. I swiftly waited for him.
Suddenly I noticed him. I came down stairs and go outside.
"You're here, So it means you-"
"After careful Investigation I noticed a few People in robes when I'm guard duty, It means they already here, I want Ms. Elkon's Safety, I have gathered 2 Carriage, Only you need to do is convinced her to escape with us"
"Thank you, Geen"
He left and I headed back to the mansion, I'm waiting till A few minutes so Elkon will be call off downstairs.
I think I will talk to Crista first.
I knocked to her down "Crista? It's me Seth, I'm going in okay!?"
"Wait Seth!? Don't-"
"I'm sorry"
Shit shit shit, Wrong timing.
Ahh He saw me, I wanna die! - said by Crista in her head.
"Are you finish now?"
"Ye-yeah"
I walked inside blushing, I noticed her too, She's so embarrassed. But I sweat away what happened and I will tell her the plan.
"Crista... Ahh, What Should i told this..."
Crista looks at me, And I said "will you help Ms. Elkon leave the city"
"Are you sure about it? we wouldn't know this will work"
So I told her the entire plan
"I see, Sure. She been helping me maintaining my Light Affinity, and help me used it properly"
"Good now, How should we tell her about this"
Only a few hours before the carriage comes in, I hope I can help convince her.
I head to her room. "Ms. Elkon?"
"Ye-yeah come in"
I look and I noticed her hiding something in her back "Well, Why you're here?"
"I want you to tell you something"
"What it is?"
"I want you to escape the country with us"
"Huh?"
Her eyes widen, And shocked
"What do you mean Seth, That's impossible... even we escape, there's so way people will notice it"
"That's why I contact you're childhood friend, Geen"
"You involved Geen about this..? But... Does other people knew about this?"
"Crista, Geen, me and Now you... You can also Get anyone you want... There's Nobody will guard in the gate Sector 3 That's where Geen is"
"But I have A mission to do, I was the one whose going to held the Staff... I'm a Zachary, And If I escape I will ruin my family's legacy-"
"Not you're Legacy, That's your grandfather's Legacy, You will not ruin you're grandfather legacy, Now Do you want to come or not?"
"I..." Grandfather, I know this man is the one being observed by Goddess Of Darkness, I know about her power, now that I see it in my own eyes, The massive power...
"Please Elkon, As a friend. You're gonna die In there! I want you to be alive, Crista is going to be worried about you, If we decide to go to the event"
Grandfather, Looks like I found something that you didn't find before, Courage... I noticed that you following something to revived your Family name, Helping others, and finding someone Important, That's You're last thing before you retired... Finding someone you loved... I guess this is how you found someone?.
"Seth... I have my decision, I will escape this place"
"Great now, Change you're cloths where leaving this place, If you want someone to follow you, You could add one more maid"
"Okay, Leave the room, I will be finished in few minutes"
I head to Crista's room "Goodnews, She finally gave in"
"That's great! Now change you're cloths"
1 Hours later, With anykne preparation, Elkom also told one of the maids, It's the same maid that I accidentally bump into.
"Now let's keep it quiet, Keep you're cloak easy, I can see Geen"
Eveyone walks to the Section 3 Of the City
"You're finally here, Now exit to the back, there should be a carriage, and here"
"You're not gonna leave with us? and this... it's a permit passed?" - Elkon said
"Yeah, I'm very sorry about it... El... Be safe out there okay?"
Elkon remember that name "Yes Geen, I will be okay"
The carriage began to move. Looks like nobody suspecting us and gone thru the road like it's anyone's business. I'm hoping that We can able to bypass the 2 other check-up.
A hour later, Where finally at the second check-up station. We handed over the permit and they said "Looks like a Legitimate Signed, And it's mark by official, Is there a problem?"
"Oh sorry, I left something back in my village, I was contacted by a friend of mine"
They look at each other and said "Well A permit is a permit you may go now"
We left the check-up station and now where going to the 1st checkup station, It's only a few Miles, But we will be their before Noon.
We stop at the checkup station but nobody is guarding it. We look around and Suddenly. An arrow was fired at the carriage.
"Ms. Elkon get down"
"This people- No there is no bandits..." Elkon said
The driver hold out his sword and said
"Ms. Elkon I can handle this"
The man uncloak himself and It's someone Elkon knew along time ago.
"Prince Cliffer? What are you doing here"
