Ashina slammed into the prince and then into one of the elite guards who seemed unfazed in his heavy plate armor, who then aimed a loaded crossbow at the wolf. Ethanial managed scramble from his grip only to be tackled and pinned by Samuel. The prince caught his wrist in both hands before the arrow invaded his breathing room, but the distance between the tip and his neck remained unwavering as Samuel's and Ethanial's strengths fought for dominance like an unstoppable force against an immovable object.
The guards glanced at each other, the prince, the door to freedom behind them, then back at the prisoners in response to Samuel's threat. They all hesitantly lowered their weapons and slid back to allow them an open path, even the one who had Ashina pinned. All their commotion had already stirred the beehive- if they didn't leave soon, they'd be sandwiched between a couple mobs of the rest of the king's army.
As the last of the remaining Arkavious prisoners passed, also hauling their dead or wounded so they couldn't be defiled further by the king's men, a cold steel blade rested on Samuel's bare back. "Now let my master go and scurry on back to whatever tick infested burrow you crawled out of," Draken's seldom-heard voice threatened.

Ashina stopped as Ethiane escaped an a soldier pined him pointing a crossbow at he’s chest, but the wolf man won’t give up so easy, catching the crossbow tip whit he’s bare hands he tried to pull it away from him an then snatch it from he’s wielder how obviously won’t give up so easy either, the two struggle for a brief moment until.. "let us pass, or he dies" the panther guy exclaimed whit the prince now on he’s grip, at that moment boot Ashina an the guard stopped an this one had no other option than lower he’s weapon, without more options the soldiers let them all go, but Ashina stay back until all the other prisoners most of them wounded pass trough, an then just when he was about to follow a shadow appear just at Samuel back "Now let my master go and scurry on back to whatever tick infested burrow you crawled out of," claimed a skinny winged man pointing a blade at the panther back, Ashina was perplex, this guy look like an Arkravious but he was calling that guy he’s master, what was going on? He wonder, but there was no time to wonder, he had to do something before the soldiers start moving again, if they host was released most like they won’t do it out of the castle – YOURE THE ONE PULLING BACK BONY BIRD!- Ashina roared chagrin against the stalker on Samuel back fist ready to smash the guy face whit all he’s might.

(Oops, I deleted my post because I was gona repost, but I copied it before I did XD Sowwy, I stoopid.)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- With a gust of wind, his wings swiftly carried his light body back a safe distance from his attacker, dragging his sword across Samuel's back as he did so. He landed in front of a huge mob of reinforcements and a thousand clicks sounded as they all loaded and aimed their crossbows. "Fire! FIRE" The prince shouted, still holding off the arrow. Samuel's blood was dripping on him, Ethanial knew he couldn't keep up as long as he could wounded like that. "Hold your fire! Let them pass... Draken said just before a stray arrow narrowly missed Ashina. Draken turned to the guards, his arms suddenly burst into violet flames and the room temperature dropped several degrees instantly. " I said LET THEM PASS!"

(lol, its ok, fixed it)
Samuel flinched at the cold blade across his back, it brought painful memories back to life at just the touch. He glanced at the winged man behind him before easing off Ethanial, noticing that the arrow had nicked the princes throat. "we don't live in a burrow, but we will be returning there" he snarled, glancing at the men before he heard Ashina's words. Samuel screeched in pain as the sword grazed his exposed back. He jabbed at the prince again, glaring at the men with cross-bows "let them go" he growled, obvious pain in his voice
Moon dodged a few arrows, back in his wolf form he stood snarling. His fur bristled as he watched the situation turn from bad to worse. He hoped the others got out alright, despite his vindictive nature.

Draken growled in frustration when the guards weren't listening. He was a slave, he had no command over the king's men- he had to take it. His flames spell was delivered with deadly accuracy at one of his own. The victim guard dropped, engulfed in flames. His cries in agony were cut when it was simply too cold to scream any louder. Frost accumulated on him and the area around him where he fell in a weak attempt to smother the flames, but the cold slowed and finally stopped him completely. Now Draken had their attention; they lowered their crossbows as they rattled in the guards' cold, shivering hands.

Ashina fist blow hit nothing but air as he’s target flew away surprise fast “ too fast” he though , turning around to face the winged man again "Fire! FIRE" the princes screamed an arrow pass whistling near the wolf man right ear at the time he was still turning, tacked by surprise Ashina tripped an stomp whit he’s back against the wall “ this isn’t good” he tough looking a the new reinforcements aiming at them, the situation was becoming worse every moment an weird too, the winged man who first had menace Samuel, was now claiming to let them pass against he’s master orders an when the soldiers didn’t listen to him, he turned against them whit strange magic flames that engulfed one of the guards convincing that way the others to lower he’s weapons.Ashina dint know what to think about this skinny winged guy, was he an enemy or a friend? or neither? any way they couldn’t let the chance go –Let’s get out of here- he say to Samuel an Moon.

Samuel nodded , throwing the arrow away. He shakily stood over Ethanial, still bleeding quite a bit. His right arm dangled lightly, from where the cross-bow had pierced his shoulder. "hope we don't meet again" he grunted, wobbling toward the exit. He winced as Moon changed back to humanoid form to help Samuel move. As they hobbled outside, there was a trail of blood from Samuel. His wounds seemed more serious than he wanted to lead on.

Ethanial staggered to his feet while the stupified guards still stood frozen in place behind Draken. The prince's firey rage bore through Draken like a jagged, white-hot knife. He stammered for words to express his anger as he neglected to wipe the blood from his neck, then sidestepped around the frozen soldier and delivered a swift jab at his face. "WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO GIVE ORDERS TO MY MEN?!" The enraged prince's voice and the boy's cry in pain echoed through the narrow corridor, and probably well out the castle within earshot of the retreating prisoners. Draken swiftly got to his feet and grabbed his master by the collar with an arm cocked back and ready to fire a punch in retort, but the prince stopped him with a calm and simple, "You can't do that. It violates your contract, boy." Slowly, he backed away. "Now tell me, hell-spawn, why you held back."
"Mother cat will surely return to the rest of her kittens," He replied, avoiding eye contact with his master. Ethanial pondered, nodding sagely at this thought. "Right, right...They'll lead us right to the nest. But now a new question arises; do we go to them, or wait until they come back for their songbird?" Yes, the princess was still a precious asset- the perfect bait- for a smitten kitten (I had to do it ;D). "But when will that be? Yes, you should be prepared, but you should have been prepared for this too!" Ethanial's hand cracked across his face once more. ""Watch that tongue of yours... You know I have no power over my idiodic father's architectual choices..." His first order of business as king would be to renovate king Gregory's wine cellar; It was underground, very spacious, no windows, and one door that could be easily monitored- It was the perfect dungeon. Not this malfunctioned mousetrap-of-a-prison. But only when- and only- when he became king.
"Very well..." The prince muttered, glancing around the corridor. "Guards...Get this place cleaned up and get back to your posts. I'll go get the recruit officer and have the empty spaces filled... Draken, follow them. Find their nest. Use a magical crystal beacon to call one and burn them in dragonfire. Instructions simple enough for you to understand, I trust..."
