"There are Rosgardian guards outside the window of my room. They're coming in! We need to go now, forget when it's dark."

Farron nodded, "Do yo have your things?" He asked, walking back into his room to grab his own gear.

"Yes, I'm ready," she held her bag up. Then she turned and followed him out the door. The Crept down the hallway, trying to go as fast as they could.

"We can't go out the front doors, and they know about the tunnels… but not…" Farron took a sharp turn down a dark corridor and placed his bag down hurriedly and walked up to a near by painting.

"Huh?" Azura looked up at him.
"Why does this castle have so many secret passageways?" she asked. The whole thing was pretty ironic.

"Because…" Farron started, removing the painting, "This place is supposed to be a secret from the outside world, if anyone knew about it and came to attack we'd have an easy exit."

"Ohhhhh, that makes sense," she said, and nodded. Once the painting was removed, she stepped inside, bow ready with a fresh arrow, just in case.

"Follow the path right to the end then take a left, keeping following it until you hear water. Wait for me there, okay?" Farron said.

She grabbed his sleeve before he could walk off. "Wait, where are you going?" she asked. She really hoped he wasn't going to do anything stupid.

“I’ll tell you later, now go.” Farron stressed, giving her a kiss before pushing her into the corridor.

Ugh I really don't know about this, she thought as she turned and began walking. She took off running towards the end of the tunnel, trying to be as quiet as possible.

Farron headed back the way they had come and saw the guards that Azura had spoken of. He took a breath before making quick work of them.

She slowed down, for she thought she heard some footsteps coming her way. She stood by a torch and got into her ready stance, waiting for whoever it was to emerge out of the darkness.
"Herla?" she said, and put her bow down. "What are you doing here?"
"I-I-Uh, came to- um, warn you? About the guards! But I'm sure already know about that," he said, eyeing her bag on her back.

Farron quickly went back in the direction he came but took a shortcut on the way back to another tunnel that led directly to the meeting point. He climbed through the tunnel entrance and made his way to the spot, only to find Azura not there yet. He frowned, and went off to find her.

"I don't understand. How did you know they were here? The only reason I knew was because I saw them emerge from the woods and they went below my window. So how did you know about them?" She crossed her arms, bow still in one hand, waiting for a reply. Herla froze, then smiled a smile that sent chills down her spine.
"I guess you caught me." A sharp noise erupted from his sheath as he pulled out his sword. He examined the tip as if there was something wrong with it, then began to speak.
"As king, it is my duty to see to it that my kingdom is protected. I must do everything in my power to protect our sacred secret. So, I simply cannot allow someone to uncover our secret."
That was Azura's cue. She dropped her bow and unsheathed her sword.

Farron rushes through the tunnels and came to where Herla was standing with his sword to Azura. He unshealthed his own and held it to his back.
“Drop your sword, brother.” He said, his voice ice cold.

Herla turned around very slowly.
“This is no game, Farron. Why do you want to put our kingdom in danger? You are not logical, which is why you are not fit to be king. I shall not drop my sword. I shall protect Pryvlyn. And you should do the same instead of running around with this little girl.”
Azura felt a pang of guilt. She was holding him back. Still, she didn’t move from her stance.

“You forget what mother taught us. About providing protection to those in need? Or are you to thick and power hungry now that your king that you forget about her and what she did to save us. She died for us, Herla. And you forget.” Farron spat, not lowering his own sword.

"Do you not see guards trickling through here each day? The know about us now, and if we don't do something soon, they'll tell everyone. So, why not just give them what they want?" he looked back at Azura. "You don't mean to tell me that you care more about her than all your kingdom, I hope." When he turned back towards Farron, Azura began backing away slowly. She was headed towards the castle, trying to give herself to the guards that so badly wanted her return.

Farron shook his head a little, “You’re attacking like a fool and you’re not yourself. Get a grip on reality. Azure is a friend and she is not going anywhere.” He looked over her with a look that said, don’t you even think about it.

“She is your friend,” he said dryly. He then turned back to Azura and swung at her with his sword. However, he had underestimated how far away she was (since she had backed up a bit) and had just missed her face by a few inches. He was so angry and frustrated that he just began swinging with his sword. Azura blocked each and every swing, until she knocked his sword out of his hand.

Farron kicked Herla in the back, knocking him to the ground and placing his sword at his back, “You’ve changed, Herla. And not entirely for the better.” He had the urge to run his sword though his back for what he said about Azura but didn’t.

Azura sensed that Farron might do something stupid, so she held her hand out in front of him.
“Let’s go, before they come too!” She said. She grabbed his hand and they sped off towards the exit. Once they got there, they didn’t stop. They just ran through town, Headed towards the gates, when they saw the children from the orphanage playing hopscotch by the biulding.

Farron let go of Azura’s hand for a moment and quickly stopped outside the gates of the orphanage, “Kalli, Kane!” HE called out and the twins came rushing towards them.
“If Herla asks where we went, say we ran the other way, okay?” The two nodded and Farron ran off with Azura again.

Azura and Farron kept running. they ran past guards who weren't on duty at the gates, ran down the path leading away from the city, and ran into the woods. After a good bit of running, they collapsed on the lush forest floor, panting.
"I'm sorry you had to leave, Farron," Azura turned to face him after a while. "I know how much you loved Pryvlyn."

"It's not your fault, Azura. You don't have to be sorry." Farron sighed and rubbed at his face with both hands before surveying the surrounding area, "We need to keep moving, we'll have more men on us now so it's gonna make everything a lot harder."

"where exactly are we gonna go?" she asked. She got up, but at this point, she didn't even know what direction they should go on.
"Do you have a map?"

Farron shook his head, “No, I don’t. But, if we keep heading north there should be a small merchants village about ten miles from here. There’s also an inn we can stay at for the night, the sun should be setting soon,”
