Alyxander continued t search for the passageway, sound enough finding it; as the stone pushed in, a rumbling  echoed through the dungeon as a small stairway was revealed. "Come on you two lovebirds. We do not have time to waste." Josephine worried that Raoul would not be able to keep up, and glanced to Alyxander. "I cannot carry him, and he will hurt himself if he tries to move too quickly." Alyx rolled his eyes and sighed, hurrying over to the cell. "Go, Josephine. The staircase lets out at a back entrance hidden by bushes. Wait near the end, guards may be nearby." He tossed her the sword and tossed his head. "Get going." Josephine caught the weapon and darted off quickly into the passage and up the stairs. Alyxander sighed and gave Raoul a slightly annoyed look. "If I thought Josephine wouldn't kill me later, I would just leave you behind." He carefully scooped up Raoul, which was awkward for them both, though he tried to be careful of the boy's obviously injured leg.
