The arrow quivered in the cave wall.
Emmanuel froze.
Elder Chike quickly blew out the small fire.
"Don't make a sound," he whispered.
Heavy footsteps echoed outside.
A masked hunter stepped into the cave entrance with a bow in one hand and a sword in the other.
"I know you're in here," he said with a cruel smile.
Emmanuel's heart pounded.
Elder Chike quietly handed him a small dagger.
"If anything happens to me... run."
The hunter suddenly charged.
Clang!
Elder Chike blocked the first strike with his walking stick, revealing that it hid a sharp blade inside.
The two men fought fiercely while Emmanuel stood in shock.
At the perfect moment, Elder Chike shouted,
"Now, Emmanuel! Run!"
Reluctantly, Emmanuel sprinted out of the cave.
The hunter broke free and chased after him.
Emmanuel raced through the dark forest, jumping over rocks and fallen trees.
Just as the hunter was about to catch him...
A spear flew from the darkness and struck the ground between them.
The hunter stopped instantly.
From the shadows, several warriors stepped forward, dressed in black with the symbol of a lion on their shields.
Their leader looked directly at Emmanuel.
Then he knelt.
"Your Highness..."
"We have been waiting for you for eighteen years."
To be continued... πβοΈπ₯
