Edward traveled along with Emily, escorted by the surviving guards/soldiers that had been sent along to escort them and protect them. Emily was frightened. Tears ran down her cheeks. Edward wrapped an arm around her as they walked along the hidden paths that kept them out of sight from those on the battlefield. 


In truth, the prince wanted to go back. He wanted to help his people right away. He wanted to fight. But, he could not do so. There were many obvious reasons. A few reasons that were not to obvious existed as well. One such obvious reason was Emily herself. He loved her. He would never risk leaving her alone no matter what. A second was that he needed to practice with his unique special power before it could be useful to help others. It was still a bit unstable. 



He needed his hidden power to work in order to ensure his brothers' defeat and save his kingdom. 




Anyway, he and his princess continued to flee. They were together now, forever. That was one step out of the way: his fathers' condition. The crown was practically upon his head now. The only thing left to take care of was kane and the baron. 





They got as far away as they could from the battlefield and what was left of the castle grounds. They would go to a hidden city, where an old friend of the late king lived. He ruled a rather large colony of hybrids and such that lived underground. They would be more than willing to take them in until they were able to fight back. 



Emily prayed that they would win. They needed to. Her heart was breaking at the thought of those lives being lost in vain. Edward felt the same way. They would look at each other with sad eyes.
