The beginning of the plan CP 18

The Village Beside the Wall

A Few Days Ago

After Limti told Kalira that she would take her with her to the capital.

Lim: It doesn't matter, do what you want. Anyway, I came here to tell you that your little chicken has woken up.

Limti: You fool, I told you he's a friend of the girl and he has a name.

Lim: It doesn't matter, anyway he's awake.

Limti: Stay here in your bed, Kalira. I will go with Lim and see if he's okay.

Kalira: No, I'll come with you. Maybe he won't talk to you if you go without me.

Limti and Lim (loudly): What? He talks!!!

Kalira: Yes, he's some kind of legendary bird.

Limti: Okay, but let Lim carry you.

Lim: Why should I carry her anyway?

Limti: Shut up and carry the girl.

Lim walks toward Kalira, looks away shyly, and carries Kalira in his arms.

Kalira: (shyly) It's okay, I can move.

Lim: (soft voice) Shut up and stay as you are.

Limti smiles and tells them: Come on, let's go check on your friend.

They leave the room. Kalira sees a large and spacious place full of people, with children running around and playing. As they walk, Kalira speaks:

Kalira: What is this place? Why is it full of children?

Limti: They're orphans who lost their fathers and mothers in the war. Loni takes care of all of them. She's the daughter of the owner of this place, and also the daughter of the village chief.

Kalira: (with a sad face) It looks like they've suffered a lot.

Lim: (looking away with a soft voice) The two of us aren't any different from them.

Kalira: What do you mean?

Lim: Nothing. We've arrived. He's in the room here.

Limti opens the room. It's a fairly large room with a nest made for Torans by Lim. They all enter the room, and Loni is also waiting there.

Kalira: Torans, are you okay?

But Torans doesn't speak, he just looks around silently, seeming a bit nervous.

Kalira: Lim, bring me closer to him and put me down, please.

Lim brings Kalira closer to Torans. She gets down and sits on the floor, holding Torans in her hands and says:

Kalira: It's okay, they helped us. They're good people. They didn't hurt me, and they also treated me and treated you.

Torans: You look in very bad shape, girl.

Everyone in the room is surprised.

Kalira: Look at yourself, I look better than you.

Torans: (laughs) Thank you, gentlemen, for taking care of me, and for taking care of this girl.

Limti: I didn't do anything, Loni is the one who treated you.

Loni: No need to thank me, it's my duty. That's what I always do when I see someone injured or in need of help. And also, Lim and Limti are the ones who brought you, so the credit goes to them.

Lim: (with a bright face) Yes, thank me, chicken, for saving you. And also because I haven't eaten you yet.

Limti hits him hard on the head: Shut up, you idiot.

Torans: (angrily) But I'm not a chicken, you strange horse-faced guy.

Lim: What did you say? Horse face? Do you want me to roast you now?!

Torans enlarges himself: Try it, and I'll eat you first.

Limti: (angrily) Both of you, shut up! Lim, is this how you treat guests, you idiot? (looks at Torans) I'm sorry for this idiot's manners. (looks at Lim) Apologize to Torans now, you idiot!

Lim: (loudly) Huh?! Why should I apologize to him? What did I do wrong?!

Limti: Do it or I'll make you do it.

Lim: Scary… okay, okay, I'll do it. (looks at Torans) I'm sorry, chicken.

Torans: I told you I'm a bird, not a chicken, horse face.

Lim: Doesn't matter.

Lim leaves the room and slams the door shut.

Limti: I'm sorry about what happened.

Loni: Don't worry, he's a good boy. He carried you all the way here.

Torans: It's okay. He's just a naughty boy who doesn't know how to respect elders.

Kalira: When will you leave, Limti?

Limti: We'll leave tomorrow when the sun rises.

Torans: Wait, where are you going, Kalira?

Kalira tells him everything that will happen to Okays and why they have to go to the capital.

Torans: But how will you save him from all those crowds and strong soldiers?

Kalira: You can fly and take him from the execution square and escape, right?

Torans: Girl, are you underestimating the capital's forces? They can shoot arrows and many things at me and bring me down. Also, there are those who can fly using blood power. Seems like you don't know anything.

Kalira: Then what do we do?

Limti: He seems very dear to you both. Well, since you're determined to do this, there's only one way to save him: we have to make him escape from the prison where he's being held. He'll most likely be imprisoned in the dungeon beneath the castle.

Torans: But escaping from the castle prison will be harder than escaping from the execution square. How is that possible?

Limti: I'll only tell you this: there's someone down there who smuggles people out of those prisons, but for a lot of money.

Kalira: How much do we have to pay him then?

Limti: I believe he'll ask for a hundred gold coins.

Torans and Kalira: Whaaat? A hundred gold coins?!
