And as soon as the bell ranged, there were guards everywhere, no way to escape anymore.
Mezie and Mera was hiding at the corner, a place which is very dark and there were some guards running up and down in that place searching for them.
Mera grabbed Mezie closer to herself and covers his mouth in order for him not to scream or make any noise.
After roaming about the soldiers left while Mera and Mezie ran to the other side dark hall and began to rundown that way.
They almost ran into the guards who were coming out from the other passage but Mera quickly hide at the pillar grabbing Mezie to herself.
Although there was a slight noise that came from the force she used to pull Mezie backward that attracted the guards to their location.
"This way" the guards commander said as he believes that Mera and Mezie saw them and began to run away.
So immediately the guards run towards the direction as ordered by the commander but they actually passed Mera and Mezie at their hiding spot and was actually running to their formal hiding position with fire in the woods which they are using for light.
And as soon as they left Mera drags Mezie along with her and they began running down and deeper the hall.
"Mera that is not the way to the gate, so where are you taking me to?" Mezie asked noticing that Mera was taking him to another direction.
After Mezie made that statement Mera takes a deep breathe and looks at him "Mezie the gate will probably be sealed right now and there will be a very heavy security there so we can't use the gate" Mera said as Mezie nods understanding what she is trying to explain.
"So you will be using a secret open place to get out of here, I will take you right there so you can go and when you are out of our wall you call on your dragon to help you out okay?" Mera said as Mezie nods. "Okay" He said
"Then come on let's go" Mera said as Mezie joined her and they began to run forward immediately.
While moving forward down the dark hall they saw the fire of the guards indicating that they are coming over and Mera decided to hide again.
But this place they are hiding is just too open and as well risky because there are some irons there that could fall and make a loud noise with just a little touch.
Mera could have find another place but that would be too risky because the guards may notice them.
So the more the guards keep approaching their hiding spot keeps getting brighter as the fire of the guards reflecting brightly.
So just as the guards were approaching, they changed their direction towards another place but just remaining one of them who refused to leave.
He keeps coming closer as felt that there is something there.
And finally he reached their spot but was actually turning his back on them so he looked left and right and was about to walk away but Mezie mistakenly matched a stainless iron that fell on the ground and made a very loud noise which attracted the guard's attention.
As he returns back immediately to that spot but Mezie and Mera has already departed from there but he tries to look deeper when Mezie landed a very big iron on the guard's head that made him faint immediately.
"Come here" Mera said as she drags Mezie forward and they continues running away.
But just as they were leaving that place some guards were equally passing that same way and saw their fellow guard lying like a lifeless body at the ground.
And that's when they knew that Mera and Mezie passed this way because there is nothing else that could have happened to the guard if not Mera and Mezie.
"Over here!!!" they alerted the other guards as they began to chase Mera and Mezie down the passage.

SELDOM.
Tennyson was still inside the room with the lady he brought along the way.
"You enjoyed yourself right?" Tennyson asked the lady who was only with her underwear.
"Of course my prince, and you are so lovely and sweet" She said as she gets up from the bed and went to kiss Tennyson on his cheeks.
"So I forgot to ask, what's your name please?" Tennyson asked.
"My name is Khan" She replied.
"Wow such a nice name" Tennyson said as he kissed her neck and just in a knock came up on the door.
"Were you expecting someone?" Khan asked as Tennyson waves his head.
"No, but I came here with people so they are free to look for me anytime, so just check who it could be" Tennyson orders as she steps to close to the door and opens it.
"Excuse me" The voice said and Tennyson could hear the voice so well and recognized that it was Athena's voice so he ordered that she should be allowed in.
"Let her in" He said. "Yes my prince" Khan responded and opened the door and Athena walks in.
"What the hell are you doing here Athena, I'm sorry but this room is occupied you are not going to sleep here with me" Tennyson said without even allowing her to talk.
Though that's because he was still expecting her to be jealous of him not knowing that Athena can never be jealous of him on any occasion, not now and not later. But can hate him more instead.
"Actually that is not the reason why I am here" Athena said as Tennyson steps closer to her shirtless.
"Really! so what the hell are you doing in my chamber by this time of the night?" Tennyson asked as Athena turns her back on him.
"I just came to tell you that I have searched this whole town with magic and there is no sign of the boy we are looking for"
"He hasn't arrived at this city, am not sure he will" Athena said as Tennyson touches her hair softly.
"So what do you suggest that we should do now?" Tennyson asked as she turns and stares at him.
"I want you to stop stressing Your men because they are still not going to find him and we need to leave to KingsHeaven" Athena said as Tennyson nods.
"Good then, we are leaving tomorrow morning but let them search throughout this night" Tennyson said as he grabs Athena closer to himself and they stares at each other.
But Athena pushed his hand away and walked out of his presence.

Meanwhile Mezie and Mera was still looking for a way to escape as they are currently in chase by the guards and this time around it was physical.
Just that they are far ahead of the guards but the injury in Mezie's leg was interrupting them from running faster and that made Princess Mera to carry on her arms.
And the guards were approaching them faster than expecting, although Mera has the idea that once they get to the escaping spot she was running to then Mezie will be free.
So she kept running but getting to that position, an iron was used to cover that hole that Mezie is supposed to pass through.
And Mera keeps him down hurriedly in other to remove the iron but just to find out that it was pad locked.
"Hell!" She said as she covers her mouth in tears because this is obviously the end of the way, there is no other place to run to.
"What's wrong?" Mezie asked and breathing heavily as the guards were approaching faster.
"It was locked!" Mera said in tears as she hugs him in tears closing her eyes and waiting for the guards to come and take them away.
