The wagon with the prisoners headed to the encampment owned by the Blue Maiden. On the wagon were five heroes prisoners and two bandit prisoners from Wales.
"Why are we here in chains," asked Greg? I think all of us can take her.
I too think it's worth taking a chance. She can't handle all five of us, stated Fiora.
Perhaps I should not have mentioned Lord Jamie, said Luke out loud.
I think that was a bad idea, answered Melinda, not to mention she was able to dispel the 'time stop magic' done by Luke. How effective do you think your magic will be Greg, asked Melinda?
Luke watched Melinda for a second in acceptance to her statement and then turned to Mr. Benjamin who was extremely quiet. Then turning to the leader bandit, Luke asked him who is this Lord Jamie individual?
"I am not telling you anything," he responded.
"Do you always have to be rebellious to everyone," Melinda asked him?
He looked at Melinda but did not respond so his partner did.
Lord Jamie is a court wizard that rose to power when his Duke left him in charge of the castle. Now he rules a portion of this land with a tyranny arm.
The last bandits he torture, I heard they found pieces of them in different locations across the land. Dealing a blow to that bastard makes all things that we are doing, worth it.
Our leader here, lost his brother and sister to him in his torture camps. After a moment of silence, the wagon came to a halt and someone came and led them to a nearby tent.
On the banks of a river, rested a number of tents concealed by the green color of the tents. The calm waters of the river provided the campers with refreshing water. In the forest nearby on both sides of the river were scouters who ensured that no one found the location of the camp.
In their encampment, there were many warriors in the camp checking their equipment and their attire.
Four muscle up individuals sat by a campfire relating stories to each other.
A blacksmith stood by a miniature forge ready to fix the dull weapons of the men that waited beside him.
A man sat on a long branch of a nearby tree. On another branch, very close to him was a pair of yellow eyes. Nearby lights from tiki touches shone on the coat of the large animal to reveal it to be a cat, a black panther.
Before being led into the prisoners tent, the leader of the warriors of the encampment was seen dismounting her horse and entering a tent that had two guards posted at the entrance.
When the prisoners were led into the tent, they were told that there were guards all around the tent but that they really should not fear because 'The Blue Maiden' had never executed prisoners that did not deserve it.
"That's comforting," Mr. Benjamin retorted. When the guards exited, Luke was able to see the entrance to "The Maidens" tent and the Black Knight was relieving the guards. Then he went inside the tent alone.
"Greg turned to Luke, when all the guards had left the tent and said " the first chance that I get, I am getting out of here!"
Our lives are not in danger at this moment answered Luke.
How do you know that questioned Greg?
It's clear that she wants to interrogate us to find out why we want to meet Lord Jamie. Even the guard stated that she just don't execute prisoners.
'She knows that we are worth more to her alive than dead because of the information that she wishes to obtain.' That is true, agreed Mr. Benjamin. During the interrogation, I have some questions that I would like to ask her as well.
The Guards returned later that night to provide food for the prisoners. We will return later for the bowls, one of the guards said as they both left.
Everyone grabbed a bowl and ate what looked like potato soup with a few piece of an unknown meat that floated in it and eat it which was surprisingly good.
'Elsewhere in Wales'
Lord Jamie turned in his Emperor Size bed and then he immediately jumped up in the dimly lit bedroom chambers. His eyes adjusted to the dark, then it glowed yellow as he looked at the hooded figure standing in his room.
I don't know how you got in here, Lord Jamie said but it's clear that you are ready to meet your God.
My name is Jaiden, he said revealing his unsightly face, and I am you from the future. I need you to bring me to your timeline.
You are me…. Then you would know that I would ask, what is in it for me?
I can direct you to great power that can reshape history but it would require you to bring me to your timeline. You may think you are at your peak now, but there is so much greater that you can achieve.
I am listening, responded Lord Jamie.
