Cyrus had his gun pointed at Ethan, but before he could pull the trigger the soldier who had rescued Ethan lunged forward, kicking the gun away from lord Cyrus's grip. The gun hit the floor with a clatter, and he and Cyrus began to struggle. “Go!” The man said to Ethan. Ethan was still skeptical, he wasn't just going to abandon this man here. Jax grabbed Ethan by the shoulder and pulled him backwards. “You can't stay here and try to fight, you can't win this, not like this.”Ethan wanted to argue, but he knew what Jax was saying was true. “C’mon let's go! We can still make it!” Ethan said, trying to reason with the man who was pinning Cyrus down. “Just go before the rest of them come here and kill all of us!”Without being left with much of a choice, Ethan and Jax had to make a run for it. “Do you have any idea where they kept the other men?” Ethan asked. “Sir I respect your decisions, we cannot rescue these men, not in our current state.”“I took an oath to protect them,” Ethan

Ethan was tethering close to the edge of the massive waterfall. There was no doubt that a fall from there would kill him instantly. Jax had managed to grab onto a rock which was very close to the riverbank and was managing to crawl his way out of the dangerous waters. Ethan was still being violently tugged by the water current. It seemed like all hope was lost for him until he managed to grab onto a large exposed tree root, coming from one of the trees that was growing by the river banks. He didn't let go, securing his arms around the road with all of his strength. The water continued to crash against his face, giving him little time to catch his breath in between.His lungs had begun to burn but he didn't care he just held on tight. He began to crawl, wrapping his legs around the road and inching forward towards the riverbank. Jax watched in anticipation on the other side with his heart in his mouth. Finally Ethan was able to make it to the riverbank and he immediately crashed a

Ethan's heart was in his mouth as his head turned in every direction. He instantly grew agitated, Jax who was beside him was also on his toes.Before Ethan could realize what was going on, a feminine figure stepped forward. That was when he finally understood that these soldiers were not the enemy.“Legion commander, I'm so glad we finally found you,” Lucy said, taking a small bow. Ethan could feel his muscles relax. He and Jax followed the soldiers to safety. “Lieutenant Jax, it's nice to see you again, alive,” Lucy said with a small grin. “It’s nice to be free,” he replied. As they walked, Ethan couldn't help but think about the other men who were still held captive in lord Cyrus's territory. “There’s still some other legionnaires in captivity, we have to rescue them,” he said to Lucy. “And I'll be coming with the troops that will be going on that mission.”Lucy's eyes widened and she shared his look with Jax, before turning to face Ethan. “You need to rest, you are not in good

Lucy and her troops were trudging through the woods, their weapons pointed forward as they crouched and maneuvered the expanse of the forest almost in stealth. Now they were properly in lord Cyrus's territory, and anything could happen. The dogs were already sent out to sniff out any mines nearby. Lucy kept her eyes keen and sharp, following Jax's description they were not too far off from where the soldiers were held captive.“I found something!” a voice broke and they all turned to check.It was a bunch of ropes and footprints scattered all over the place. They were also other stuff like pieces of cloth.Lucy could only deduce that not too long ago a large number of soldiers were kept here. “They've moved them,” she said, her voice sounding bitter.“Let's just take to the skies, I'm sure we'll see them.”Lucy shook her head. “If they see us coming with jets they would probably harm the men, we're supposed to catch them by surprise not let them know we're coming. Plus, we can't per

Ethan cried out as he watched Lucy go down with Cyrus. He tried to leap forward to catch her, but he was too late, she had already fallen.For a moment he was frozen, unsure of how to react. He felt numb, and then soon self-guilt began to eat him up. How could he stand there and let this happen? An almost deafening silence settled upon everyone that was around the vicinity. Nobody had expected this to happen.Just when everybody had given up hope they heard a grunt coming from the edge of the cliff. An arm suddenly popped into their vision as it gripped the plants that were growing by the edge.Lucy hadn't fallen off the cliff, she managed to grab onto something while falling and she was dangling.Ethan immediately rushed forward and grabbed her hand, then pulled her up. “Thank goodness you're alive,” she said when she was standing on her own two feet. “I managed to grab onto a strong tree root protruding from the edge of the cliff, if it wasn't for that I'd have fallen and probably
