Chapter 5
Prison guards came swarming after them, Jabel and Jing hoisted up the drawl bridge and squashed people who were trying to escape through the cracks. Six men made it to Jing and Jabel. Jing took on three while Jabel took on the other three. Slit one guys neck, cut off one mans leg and arm then threw him in the water to drown, and used a stone he found on the ground to knock the last one out then stabbed the man through the heart. After Jabel was finished with those guards, he looked over at Jing to see the last of his men to fall to the ground.
The two fled for their lives away from that dreaded prison, though they didn’t know where they were. Flaming arrow were falling from the sky, Jing spotted that they were coming from the prison guard on top of watch towers. Jing and Jabel dodged every one of the arrows with flips and slashes with the swords until they got far enough to get out of reach. Jabel and Jing celebrated with high fives and hugs. The two brave warrior made their way across the plains. It was night by now, but they could still see. They were headed towards a forest. But once they hit the beginning of the forest, Jing heard a sound. "What was that?" Jing asked "Don’t ask me!" Jabel answered. They both got out their prized treasures, their weapons.
It turns out that they were getting worked up by an owl. They decided to make camp about half way through the forest. Jing made a fire, while Jabel made a tent out of logs he cut down from trees around them, and used some of the logs for the fire. Jing fell asleep while Jabel stayed awake for awhile. Jabel was just thinking about what it would have been like if he wasn’t the chosen one, what if he stayed with his tribe. He didn’t want to get his hope up though, he had to get some sleep, he was a wanted man.
The next morning, Jing woke up before Jabel. Jabel woke up to Jings smiling face in his face. Jabel jumped, knocking down some of the logs.
"I made bird cobobs." Jing said to Jabel as he was getting up. Jing showed Jabel his sword. His swordhad three gird at the tip, and they were burnt to a crisp.
"Good idea!" Jabel said happily to Jing. Jabel crawled up into trees and caught three bird of his own. "I made some for you." Jing said "You didn’t have to get your own." Jabel was too hungry to talk. He roasted his birds on his sword but the fire went out. Jabel said to Jing: "Could you pass a few logs over here?" "Sure." Jing said, as he took some of the logs from the tent and through them over to Jabel.
Jabels breakfast was soon interrupted by a sound that wasn’t of an animal. It was guards from the prison, five of them to be exact. They were looking at yet another fight to the death.
The first guard ran after Jing while another one ran after Jabel. Jabel tripped the guard into the still hot campfire. Jing just plain out stabbed his guard in the stomach. Three more were left. Jabel kicked one man in his groin, and made him drop to the ground. Jabel used him as a catapult, he ran and used the mans shoulders and jumped off to get the tallest guy in the head with his katana. Jing finished off the man with a hurting groin by impaling him in the face. The last man standing, they both argued on who got to kill him. They both ended up chasing after him though, but Jabel got to him first. Jabel stabbed him in the back.
Jabel and Jing made their way back to their campsite. Jabel started a fire with two logs. Jabel looked over and saw a guard with Jabels birds in his head. Jabel figured "Why should I waist a perfectly good fire?" He just ate one of Jings bird and tossed the last log into the flame. Something about that log caught his eye. He looked closer at that burning log. It had a carving in it, but he couldn’t make it out. Then it hit Jabel. Jabel looked over at the tree he got that log from. There was a spring in it. He looked over, and he found a dead body with an arrow through his heart.Jabel was in the same forest he was in two weeks ago before he won the battle with Rubin!
