Arron watched as the guards released his friend. He kept quiet because he was not sure what was going to happen.

Wordlessly still, the armoured man grabbed Talbot by the wrist and lifted him to his feet."GGH!" Talbot uttered before biting his lip. His shoulder let out a spurt of blood as he was roughly pulled to his feet, but he tried not to succumb to the pain.The person in armour paused a moment, but then turned and walked out of the cell, pulling Talbot along behind him while the other person stayed behind. The second armoured person stood still, eyes trained on Arron.

The spurt of blood made the mechanic turn pale. He did not realize how bad the wound was until he saw his friend in pain. Arron was at a loss for words that he was not paying attention to the second guard.

It was then that a shadow passed over the window, causing the cell to darken for a moment. The person paid no mind, and instead, walked to the door to Arron's cell. They took a key and unlocked the door, then walked inside and began to unlock each of Arron's chains. Something about the way they moved seemed somehow unnatural though, and they would sometimes miss the key to the lock a few times. Eventually though, all of the chains were removed.

The silence & the unnatural movement was what made Arron think that these guards were not human. Once the chains were removed he sat up, rolling his shoulders & slightly shaking his arms to get the feeling back in them.

When the person was finished, they went to their knees, and tossed the keys a distance away from the cell, then placed a shackle on their own wrist, connecting them to the floor."Arron..." a quiet, familiar voice spoke. A shadow blocked out the light from the window again, but only half-way.
"You've made it quite difficult for me." Talbot's father spoke, frowning.

The voice of the knight's father made Arron's blood run cold. He stood, hanging his head. "...I... I can't tell you how s-sorry I-I am Sir." he said, "He was hurt & I lost control of the abilities I had because of it. I... I did not keep myself in check & T-Talbot paid for it." He started to walk towards the door.

"There isn't any time for apologies. There are suits of armour in the room down the left, and then to the right. Wear one, and then climb the stairs. From there, you'll find a door. If anyone discovers you or sees you walking, keep your eyes on them. I will use my magic from here. Understood?" he spoke as if he was giving orders, but his voice had no clear emotion to it.

The mechanic nodded & quickly left, hurrying down the hall to the suits of armor. He stared at it for a moment, having a sudden realization that he was about to achieve a boyhood dream of being a knight (even if it was temporarily). Shaking his head slightly to clear the thoughts, Arron did his best to get the armor on, having some trouble. After that he followed the father's directions hoping that Talbot was fairing alright.

There was the door as described, leading outside as indicated by the light of the outside world flooding in. However, in the other direction, a trail of blood-droplets led elsewhere, likely belonging to Talbot. There was no sign of anyone within that hallway, nor directly outside the door.

Arron stopped at the sight of the blood. He looked between the door & the blood trail. "...I'm not l-leaving him." he said before following the trail.

The direction the blood went suddenly made it very clear where Talbot was being led, and Arron would likely recognize it, due to being there before. The man in armour was leading Talbot toward the King and Queen's throne room. More knights and other warriors were in the area the further Arron went, and several of them gave him questioning glances.

He did his best to look like he belonged in the castle, keeping his pace even & not full on running. If the doors were not closed to the throne room, Arron would try to sneak inside.

The doors were closed, but there were two female knights positioned just outside, blocking the door with their lances. They had serious expressions, and determined eyes. It would be incredibly difficult to get past them, by the look of things.

Arron remembered what the knight's father said & stood idly nearby. He was looking at the two knights.
