The three elements

*Previously: François, Enehy and Hitomi got out from the fortress where they had been kept for some time.*

"Ready?" - Enehy nodded and the two jumped at the same time, and started falling down the great fortress.

Chapter 3: From one fortress to another.

"Disgusting! Yark, Yark, and more yark!" - Enehy said disgusted.

"Yeah, you can say that twice!" - they had laded on a 'mud field', and they were all covered in mud. - "But we don't have time for cleaning sessions! Let's get going!"

They started running, to the forest that surrounded and hide the huge fortress. François was still caring the sleepy Hitomi. Soon they were swallowed by the darkness created by the amount of trees.

&§&§&§&§&§

"SALUT!" - the crew of the 'Highest dream' (Semmedjem's fortress) was happily celebrating their arriving to the World of Gaea. Everything was going according to their chiefs' plan, well … maybe not everything.

The door that leaded to the room opened and Semmedjem entered the room. He could feel the smell of beer, he could almost taste it. He made a 'why-did-I-hired-drunk-soldiers' face and walked fastly to his best commander.

"Hei chief! Come and join the part…" - he stopped talking when Semmedjem grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up in the hair. He was chocked to say the least. - "B-boss, what's the big deal!"

"While you and your troops are eating and drinking up all of our reserves, the prisoners are escaping!" - Semmedjem threw him in the hair and he ended up on the other corner of the room. - "YOU INCOMPETENT FOOLS! GET YOUR BUTTS UP AND BRING ME THOSE THREE IMMEDIATELY!" - None spoke. They all got up and started running out of the room. - "WAIT!" - they all stopped and turned around. - "Just ten! We don't want anyone to know of our existence. Did I made myself clear?" - they nodded and ten of them ran out of the fortress.

&§&§&§&§&§

Enehy and François kept running. They were getting exhausted and they were almost losing hope of finding their way out of the forest. It looked like it never ended. Happily they were wrong and soon they reached another fortress. It was an Asturia frontier.

"Think someone will help us in there?" - François asked as they stopped.

"Think there's someone in there?" - they looked one at each other, puzzled.

But their silence was broke when they heard others' footsteps; coming from where they had came.

"Shit! They're already here! Let's go and prey that there's someone friendly in this place!" - François grabbed Enehy's left arm and pulled her along with him, and they both ran towards the fortress' gate. Knowing that Semmedjem's soldiers were right after them.

They reached the gate and Enehy started punching it and yelling for help.

"Hei, Hei, Hei! Hold on little lady! Might telling me what's wrong?" - François and Enehy looked up. On one of the fortress' towers stood a tall man with short black hair.

"For God's sake open the gate! Please!" - Gadess looked down to the forest and saw some men coming for the ones next to the gate.

"LUK! Open the gate's door! NOW!" - Gadess yelled to the young soldier who was against the gate.

François and Enehy saw a little door on the gate, opening. They smiled and walked in. soon the door was again closed.

Semmedjem's soldiers decided not to confront the Asturian soldiers, and walked away.

&§&§&§&§&§

"Thank you!" - Enehy jumped over Luk and gave him a big hug. The young soldier was redder than Alseides (Dilandau's Guymelef)

Luk was an eighteen years old boy, with blue hair and brown eyes, despite his age, he looked a lot older.

François wanted to laugh, but he thought that was not a great idea at the moment.

"So … may I ask who are you?" - Gadess asked as he came down the stairs that connected each tower to the inside of the fortress. - "It's not very common to see two people being chased on this landings!" - Gadess watched them closely. - "Especially … dressed like that!"

The two stared at each other on a 'what's-wrong-with-our-clothes' face. François spoke up.

"I'm François and this is Enehy! And this one on my back his Hitomi! We were …"

"HITOMI?!" - Gadess yelled before François could finish what he was saying.

Gadess ran to the boy and watched the girl on his back calmly.

"It's really her! Why didn't you told me before? If you're Hitomi's friends than you're welcomed here!" - François was surprised but he thanked anyway.

"Luk! Go get the chief! Tell him our angel is back!"

Luk trembled at the though of having to wake up his chief. - "But Gadess …" - Gadess looked angrily at him. - "Ok! I'm on my way!" - he said as he started running towards theirs chief's room.

What? Am I stopping already? What a short chapter! I'm not on myself lately! *Sighs*
