Princess Seninia and Slade listened to Tygra talk, Princess Seninia sighed, she walked around the room a moment, wondering what to do. It seemed he was going to join the Royal Guards either way. She looked to Slade once more, Tygra was right, he was no fighter, and she had never seen him before, which was a good sign, a very good sign. She smiled for a moment and then looked back to Tygra.

"You really don't get it. Tomorrow you are going to die. I have seen your death. It will happen. Trust me. You do not want to join, because if you do, the army that you will face is unbelievable. It is best that you take your family and run, because tomorrow it will be too late. Sure a challenge is one thing, but going to a battle which cannot be won, no, that is not what a smart and logical person would do. Any normal man would start running, as far from here as possible, and that assassin, if he has been sent here to die, then won't they just hunt him later?"

Slade quickly pulled out a sword and stared at them both, he was not weak, he was not afraid, he was strong, he was a fighter! He would prove that. He ran over and quickly slashed at the princess, this would of certainly killed her but at the last second, he stopped himself, cutting off some of her hair. He fell to his knees and began to cry. He resented the fact that he was weak.

"No. I can't do it. I'm weak. How can I trust you? Nobody can be trusted in this world. If I leave, they will find me and kill me anyway. They sent me to do a mission. They would never send me to die! They wouldn't do that! I'm strong, and a good thief. They need me. I'm not afraid, I was just waiting for a time to strike. Don't talk to me like I'm a friend! I can train myself, I don't need liars to like you. If I was a kind person, then I would of never have become an assassin. A assassin kills in cold blood, without hesitation. If you don't kill me, then you will simply use me. I can't trust you, I can't trust anyone."

He stood up and then looked around, he slowly looked down and stepped back to the balcony. He quickly jumped off and ran away, he had no other choice, he couldn't trust them no matter what. Princess Seninia sighed and then slowly walked away.

"He will be back. I know it. I have a bad feeling, if you really want to stay, if you want to die, then feel free to talk to dad."

She sighed, and continued to walk away, she went into her room and into her bed. It was late, and she needed sleep for tomorrow morning. After all, it wouldn't be too long before the army comes. She closed her eyes and soon drifted off.

Meanwhile, way past the mountains, to a far off volcano, there was something stirring. It was a secret entrance just underground leading underneath the surface of the mountain. It was there that stood the leader of the assassins. He watched a screen which foretold of all the members of the guild, those who were out, and those who were in. He saw that two of the assassins had died, and the one he had sent off was still alive, probably running away. He smashed his fist int a table as he screamed.

"Dammit all to hell! How hard can it possibly be to take on the Royal Guards and bring me one princess? That's it! I've had with that god damn princess!"

He then pressed a button which activated an alarm, suddenly, an army of two hundred thousand [url=http://www.wallpaperhi.com/thumbnails/detail/20120131/soldiers%20guns%20futuristic%20mech%20mecha%20weapons%20armor%20digital%20art%20concept%20art%20artwork%20armored%20suit%20scien_www.wallpaperhi.com_14.jpg]armored suits[/url] suddenly came, shaking the entire mountain as they did. 

"Go! Bring me the princess, and kill everyone else! I will make sure you will have some help."

The armored suits were so advanced, that they were mind linked, as well as making no sound whatsoever from they weight. Suddenly, the floor began to rise. And suddenly, the armored suits were on the surface. It was then when they began to silently march towards the castle.

The next morning, the princess woke up early. She looked around to see the castle was still ok. Luckily it seemed they still had time. She got out of bed and walked out the door, only to see Slade talking to Tygra.

"You have to go now, you never guess what I saw when I was gone, it was unbelievable. If you stay, you have no chance of surviving. You don't have long, and explaining will take too much time. Leave now, you are all in danger!"

He looked at the princess with a worried look, he didn't know why he was helping them, but it was the least he could do, since they let him live.
