For how long Torano had remained captivley held he cold not fathom but his focus had been far more held on the growing noticable pain in his neck. He had recieved the pleasentries of lonliness once more to the interior of what he could only assume had been some form of a cave. Many roots had grown far and spread along each and every crevice they could down to the bones of the littered ground below. Whether they were of animal or something else was not entirely clear. A thought had crossed his mind if only for a second that his would soon join their own.
The black hands of his captor had once more been around him " I return my bound king,Perhaps you have thought as to release that crown, it would be best if you did not let me down." she gave a giggle to his silence " Well..if force won't make it mine...perhaps then I could persuade you this time." he shuddered as her tongue slid across his cheek. This act had suddenly been interrupted as a dagger whirred itself straight into her cold hand that gripped him.
The cave had been ablaze with the screams of the flailing woman as her form twisted and contorted releasing Torano to the grounds below. " Grab him now!" Torano had found himself snatched once more by the hands of a knight " I've got you my king! We need to flee now! The witch will only remained distracted by the blade shortly!" As he had finished the same blade had flown stabbing into a totem pole mere inches from them " He is mine! Take him if you dare, I won't let you leave my lair!" the witch's form continued to twist, snapping and expanding as it grew larger and larger. " Run king! We have no time!" others had soon rushed past them onto the witch, their swords sent ablaze amongst the snatching hands of the cauldren.
