I have to try though. I get off the ground again and summon up any
strength i have. BP-"Oh you wanna keep going? Good." He smirks. R-"You 
laugh like your actually winning but this is hardly a fair fight. Its 
three on one." BP-"Fine then they'll stay back its just me and you." 
R-"Yeah but you still have a staff." BP-"You really think im stupid 
dont you?" R-"Well i was hopin." He leg sweeps my legs and then swipes 
his staff down towards me. I roll to the side and place one leg on top 
of the staff. I kick him in the head with the other foot and he 
stumbles back. I pick up the staff and give three quick jabs to the 
stomach, chest, then throat. BP-"Uh..." The first Black pawn hits the 
ground clutching his neck and i turn to the other to with staff in 
hand. R-"Ready?" BP-"Oh yeah." They both run at me. I strike the with 
the staff but the second pawn knocks it to the ground and rolls to the 
side. The third pawns runs up the staff and lands a heel to my chin. I 
drop the staff and take two steps back before second pawn comes around 
with a double kick to my ribs. I hit the ground rolling. BP-"You didnt 
think it would be that easy did you?" R-"Well I ..Ahh!" The third pawns 
snaps the staff against the side of my head and blood flies from my 
mouth. The second one slides on the ground and kicks me back to the 
edge of the cliff. My head just barely goes off the edge. BP-"Aww and 
to think he wont get to say goodbye to his precious queen before he 
dies." R-"What?" I tilt my head so i can look out over the edge and 
what i see brings tears to my eyes. Nena is no longer under the tree. I 
grow angry. R-"Where is she?" BP-"Whats it matter your dead any way?" 
R-"I said where is she!" BP-"Shut up im sick of you." He places the end 
of the staff underneath my chin. I grip it with both hands but am to 
close to the edge to have any leverage to push against. BP-"Your just 
one little shove away from losing it all.How does that make you feel?" 

What can i do i feel so powerless. I cant do anything to stop them and
now they've got Nena. I have to do something, but what. My tears stream 
burning down my face now. They seem to be being absorbed into the 
ground though. Suddenly i feel the ground shift. BP-"What was that?" 
BP-"I dont know." The ground beneath turns to almost like mud and in a 
quick second im gone into the earth. BP-"Where the heck did he go?" 
BP-"I have no idea. You should have killed him when you had the 
chance." BP-"All well lets just get out of here and tell the king he's 
dead." BP-"Sounds good to me. What about number one?" BP-"Leave him 
lets go." They turn to leave. I erupt out of the ground right in front 
of them. R-"Leaving so soon." BP-"Oh? Of course not lets finish this." 
BP-"Ok did you not just see him pop out of the ground like a spring 
flower lets go." BP-"Shut up i'm ending this." He comes at me with his 
staff and i slip back underground. I appear right behind him but just 
as i go to kick the third pawn the second one kicks me from behind. I 
hit the ground breathing hard on hands and knees. BP-"Even with his 
powers hes still got nothing." R-"I'm gonna give you one more chance to 
tell me where she is." BP-"And im gonna have to answer with this." He 
goes to kick my side. Just then the ground comes up and enraps over my 
body. I still have my form im just covered in hard rock. As his kick 
lands i dont even feel it. But he does." BP-"Ahh what the?" I stand up 
and the second pawn backs away. The third continues to barrage me with 
his staff but the blows do nothing to my hard exterior. In one swipe i 
reach up and catch the staff in my hand. I grip and snap it in half. I 
grab the pawn by his neck and lift him in the air. I hold him over the 
edge of the canyon. R-"Now. Where is she?" BP-"You'll get nothing from 
me you freak." He spits in my face and I just drop him back on the 
ground not willing to give in to my anger. I start to walk away. 
BP-"You'll never find her and even if you do she'll be dead already. 
Not like it matters she never really loved you anyway. Your chasing a 
dead dream." 

I can feel the cold sweat dripping down my face in my rocky armor. I
stomp the ground so hard that it sends a quake through the ground back 
to the pawn. The ground crumbles from underneath him and he falls to 
the ground far below. The second pawn witnessing this runs away. I 
thrust the top part of my body forward and the rock flys off towards 
the pawn. It storms into him knocking him to the ground. I walk up and 
place my heavy foot on his chest. BP-"I dont know anything please dont 
hurt me." R-"Where have they taken her?" BP-"I swear i dont know 
anything." I place my foot over his head. R-"Tell me where they took 
her." Her looks up and quakes in fear. BP-"Ok ok... i think i heard 
them talking about taking her to the top of this canyon but on the 
southern side opposite of here." R-"How do i get across?" BP-"If i tell 
you there gonna kill me?" I shake my foot and some dust falls on his 
face. R-"You think your chances are much better here?" BP-"Ok there is 
a bridge about halfway down the canyon that you can probably cross." 
R-"Thank you and dont worry they wont find out you told me anything. 
The rocks all fall away from me onto him unharmed." BP-"Th...th..thank 
you." I walk away with the sun setting in front of me to get back the 
love of my life.
