[b][color =red]EPISODE 1[/color]
the atmosphere was gloomy and hazy, cold air moved without obstruction. It was dawn, understandably there was no human figure on the street. Everyone should probably be asleep, except sir Donna, he was waken by the first rooster crow. He yawned twice then rose from a palm-knitted-mat.
Sir donna was one of vinceville's finest; a leader of 'in-palace-knights' he looked left to right, his fellow knights were still asleep, he ignored them, strode far north of the room, dipped his hand in a bowl of water and washed his face. Sir Donna wasn't only a knight, he was extremely handsome, every lady wished him for theirselves. Prince Galileo's girlfriend wasn't exceptional, she'd shameless tried seducing him twice, the prince caught them on one of these occasions, of course he'd painted the image black. Sir donna almost got executed even a broken clock is right twice a day! Donna escaped trial.
The young knight smiled at those memories, prince Galileo was really laughable. He wiped his face with his palms then staggared sleepily to the rack where knights' swords and body armours were kept. It wasn't a long search before he pinpointed his armour which he quickly wore, picked his sword and slipped it into the leather sheath hung around his waist.
Sir donna carefully closed the door behind him.
He moved swiftily but stealthily to the middle of the castle, where royal prison was situated. He'd studied the castle' map for several days, he knew it like the back of his hands, much to his advantage!
The knight's heart beat increased as he approached the prison section. It was time to execute his plans, he must be brave about it. He stood still for several seconds, heaved a sigh and continued moving. The palace was kept bright and alive with oiled candelebras. He made sure he walked in shadows.
He finally got to the prison section. He took cover behind a rock piller. Peeping, he saw a guard patrolling the royal prison. "isn't it a little too early" he whispered rhetorically. Sir Donna dipped a hand in his coat, luckily he found a bronze coin which he tossed. The coin rolled on the floor, attracting the guard's attention.
Donna slipped into the prison department properly when the guard foolishly chased a rolling coin.
Another guard sat on a stone, his head resting on the wall, he was fast asleep. Donna's gaze fell on a bunch of keys tied to his waist belt. The knight squated before him, he was carefully loosing the keys when suddenly the guard slapped himself. Perhaps mosquitoe invasion!
Donna succeeded in untieing the bunch, he held it firmly, heading to a prison room which had 'IV' written atop it.
An old man with long curly brown hair sat on the floor. It was heard on the grapevine that he was above 80, yet his hair had no spark of grey. It was also rumoured that his magic sustained this feat.
Corlenius was a magician, as a matter of fact the most powerful sorcerer in the empire. He heard the prison door open, he fell softly, closing his eyes feigning sleep.
Donna stepped into the prison boldly. Somehow he wasn't scared of meeting Corlenius. He'd heard legends about that man.
The old man laid on the floor, the chain used in cuffing him was loosed. No wonder he was called Corlenius the great. Donna wondered why someone so powerful would submit himself to be captured. He squated before corlenuis, tapping him gently.
Corlenius 'woke' up, he let out a fake yawn
"what do you want?"
"my lord, i came to get you out of here" Donna replied boldly.
Corlenius chuckled.
"you came to what? Do you know the weight of your plan?"
"yes sir. I'm a knight, my duty is to protect the empire. What the emperor is doing isn't right! Why should he order execution of all sorcerers?! Please you must come with me, your execution is scheduled for the seventh hour of today."
corlenius nodded slowly. He got up rapidly and helped Donna up.
"thank you boy. Lets go"
suddenly they hear a hight pitched sound. The palace bell was rang once, indicating it was second rooster crow.
Donna led corlenius through short cuts, soon they were outside the castle.
The bell rang again, this time twice.
Corlenius and donna exchanged glances, it only happens when there was an emergency in the castle.
" someones knows about me escape" corlenius suggested.
"halt! Do you think you can get away?" a familiar voice ranted from behind.
Donna swallowed hard, without verifying he knew it was a fellow Knight.
Corlenius turned quickly. He stretched a hand towards the intruder, his eyes blazed rapidly.
At the drop of a hat the knight fell down. Donna was gobsmacked.
"did you kill him?"
"he would be up soon. Thanks again, you must go now, the soldies are alerted."
with that he hopped on a horse previously provided by Donna.
He rode through a thick forest, in the outskirts of Vinceville.
