Their wet soles slapped on the polished marble floor as they entered the shelter of the castle. "Where is princess Taya?" Marlon's words were enough to force Allen's eyes open. Allen swept his sodden fringe from his eyes, tucking it the best he could behind a year and ran back into the maze.<br/><br/>******<br/><br/>Kyle stripped off his coat, dropping it and leaping over a puddle, wincing as the servant boy ran past, forming crowns of water. Where was she? He turned left, while the servant boy ran on ahead. The torrent of water was literally dragging his clothes down. He spotted a prone form of the princess. He crouched beside her, using both hands to lift her off the ground. He retraced his steps, breifly noting that the multi-layered dress was sponging up the water, and weighing them down.<br/><br/>He turned the corner and was confronted by the light of the entrance of the castle, he spoke over the splashing of the rain to Taya, "Hold on, I might trip up here! Just a bit more!" He entered the castle again, nearly slipping. He smiled relieved that he did not cause any injury to Taya.<br/><br/>He spots several maids standing in shock or awe. Kyle sets the Taya on a bench which was on the wall, "You okay? Sorry if I ah... Shouted in your ear..." He said apologetically. He turned his attention back to the other idle maids, "I need help here. Don't stand there, your princess is hurt, help her!"<br/><br/>******<br/><br/>His boots kicked up a small membrane of water, he had failed. The princess was saved by the Marlon guy and he was left- he looked at his hands, with the sword that was dropped by Marlon. He moved slowly, not bothering to keep dry as he was completely drenched. He could feel the moisture in his socks and his fringe covered his eyes completely.<br/><br/>Allen entered the hall, noting that the princess was cradled by the Marlon guy. He closed his eyes and began to squeeze water from his sleeves.<br/><br/>(Lol, I saw what you did there. Wanted a Kyle vs Allen eh? Okay, on the next day, the red mercenary character and her father (played by me) will visit the castle to meet Kyle during the feast. Sounds good?)
