Tara
Tara laughed lightly as she ran through the woods jumping from tree branch to tree branch. She skillfully glided across them as if running on flat ground. Below a giant white tiger ran roaring in protest when she started to pass him.
Oh come on, Bear, don't tell me you're a sore loser. She teased the tiger as she sped up again.
Why don't you run on the ground, I'd win for sure if you did. Bear replied surging forward, but still not able to catch up to her. I honestly don't like that you run on the branches just to make your mind concentrate on one thing. You need to focus on getting Sayra back.
It's harder to run on the trees thank you very much, and I am thinking about how to get her back. Just doing it so that I'm not over thinking. She laughed as she jumped down on the ground and flicked Bear's nose before taking off again. She ran all the way to the clearing of the castle and stopped at the edge of the woods. A few seconds later Bear caught up and stopped next to her looking around for any threats.
Do you see anyone, Kilo? She called to her hawk who flew towards her from over the castle.
No one that is a threat. Kilo replied perching on her shoulder. The prince has Sayra in the court yard right now.
What are they doing? Tara asked a little weary of the fact that the prince would be stupid enough to be holding her friend hostage, let alone that he had her out in the open.
Walking. I flew around several times, I couldn't find any hidden traps or soldiers. Kilo replied.
Keep me informed. Tara said pulling a cloak over her head and walking towards the village. Bear stayed on the tree line watching her carefully as Kilo flew over head.
Once Tara reached the town she slipped in and out of allies until she reached a back door to the castle. Calling it a door was nice, it was more like a tiny window in the side of the castle that had no bars or glass and it was a good fifty feet up in the air. It was a quick climb though and Tara welcomed the challenge. She wasn't sure why the prince kept trying, he never won a fight against her and honestly she was getting tired of it. She had been gone for two years on her quest with Haven and to come back to find out Sayra had been taken prisoner was ludicrous! She really wished Haven was with her to help her, but he was getting his country back in order and had promised to come be with her after he was done.
Focus, Tara! She thought as she wiggled her way through the window.
Tara, I'm not sure Sayra is here against her will. Kilo said just as she was pulling herself out of the window.
What do you mean? Tara asked.
They're holding hands and laughing! Kilo replied just as Tara's hands slipped and she hurdled towards the ground. TARA!
Tara curled up in a ball waiting for the bone breaking impact, but it never came. It was like the ground gave way right before she hit and swallowed her into an utter darkness.
