The blonde finally looked over at the key. "Oh!" she exclaimed. If this object would help, then she was more than willing to fetch it! The girl clumsily crossed the room to where the key hung and reached for it.
She paused upon taking hold of the shiny trinket. This all seemed very familiar. The girl flipped it through her hands a few times, gliding her fingers across the tubular surface. This was definitely fa- whoa, wait! Whoa...
Her gait was more steady when she approached the bars and locks of the cage door. "I have done this before." she said in a much lower, more collected voice than before. She then began to unlock the cage, one heavy metallic click at a time. So long as the process wasn't interrupted, she would be finished in a minute or two. "You don't know my name, do you?" her new voice accused while continuing to twist the locks. This voice wasn't so friendly, and it seemed that for any reason she could suddenly stop opening locks.

The the prison door was opened.The man had entered the room once again, but this time holding chains, a mop, and a bucket of soapy water. He placed the bucket of water and the mop next to a skull. The man then observed the room and found someone standing in front of the cell bars. "What are you doing here?" He asked as shackles rolled down his arm. ((I drew a picture of this character))

Kama overheard the blonde girl attempting to free Olivia, but then he saw the suspicious man walk into the room and say “What are you doing here?”
He was hoping to avoid a fight, but now there was no choice. It seemed almost certain that the suspicious man would attack the blonde girl and throw her into the cell as well. He couldn't let the blonde girl get hurt, so Kama rushed over as quickly as he could.
Kama ran into the room and saw everyone there. He first saw the back of the suspicious man, but then saw the two girls. “The blonde girl over there doesn't fit the picture, but the one in the cell... that’s her! Now all I have to do is get rid of this armored guy and I’m done here” he thought to himself.
Kama took off his cape and grabbed out his swords as he prepared himself for the ultimate battle.

Yes! Olivia's plan was working and soon she'd be free.... of the cage at the very least. She'd figure the other stuff out later. She paid little mind to the other girl and just day dreamed about her release from the metal bars. When she spoke to the brunette though, Olivia couldn't help but blink at the sensible question. Ah right, she'd just come up with something. "I told you already, I really can't tell if I'm right in this lighting, but I think it starts with a-"
And then suddenly the door to the outside room had opened and the man had entered once again. If not for the fact that she was still enclosed in the metal barred cage, minus a couple less locks, she probably would've peed herself. To make matters worse, another man had ran in, making Olivia that much more confused. Just what in the hell was going on? Who were all these people and why was it all happening so fast? Maybe it would've been better had she starved to death...

"Huh?" the blond whirled around, dropping the key in the process. "I - uh - I don't... know..." she answered quickly. She could also see the other man walking into the room, which was no more reassuring. From her perspective it looked like the men were together, and that made her the only possible target for Mister Swords. The girl backed up against the bars with obvious fright showing on her face as she looked back and forth for a sanctuary that was not present.

The man noticed that this girl in front of the cell bars dropped the key. That was not of his concern currently since another unfamiliar armed man, Kama, stood behind him.
A blade fell out of his sleeve as the man turned around. He then spoke as he pointed the blade towards Kama, "Identify yourself."

There was no point in staying silent anymore because his cover was already blown, so Kama immediately did an overhead slash. Kama was hoping that the suspicious man would block it so that he could push the man down towards the ground in order to stall for time.
As he slashed Kama shouted “DON’T JUST STAND THERE BLONDIE! GRAB THE DAMN KEY AND GET HER OUT OF THERE QUICK! HURRY!”

Olivia couldn't believe how happy she was to be behind bars. I mean, she could still be very hurt like this or if the mysterious man forced her out. Ohhh she didn't want to die like this. Cringing at the new man's yell, the brunette clung to the bars from the inside. Wh-what? He was trying to let her out... he knew who she was..?

'Blondie' merely sank to the floor; shrinking as much as possible. So much was happening all at once, and she was very confused. Was she supposed to side with Mister Swords, or was she with Armor Man?

While Kama swung his sword, the man leaped back to dodge Kama's attack. The man now had his back against the cell bars with his feet near the key to the prison cell. The man stomped on the key, and he turned his heel twice. He then put his sword up to Olivia's neck and said to Kama, "One more step and the prisoner gets killed."

Kama clenched his swords out of anger but managed to calm himself down and drop them on the floor. He still had one last weapon up his sleeve, but chose to keep it hidden and wait until he had the right opportunity to use it.
Kama raised his hands above his head and said to the armored man “Fine then. I won’t take another step and I’ll tell you who I am. My name is Kama and I’m a wandering swordsman who was paid to rescue the girl in the cage. From the information I've gathered about her it seems that you've been feeding her here in order to keep her alive for a long time, so if you were to kill her right now that would be a lot of food and effort put to waste. I don’t think either of us wants her dead so how about you tell me why you’re keeping her trapped in this cell so that we can negotiate something?”
Kama wasn't sure where he was going with this. Kama was desperate at this point, hoping for some opportunity to turn this whole thing around.

When the darker man had dodged the other's attack, Olivia couldn't help but flinch and attempt to scoot back farther in the cage, despite there being no real room so she didn't accomplish much with that. To make matter worse, she suddenly had a sword at her throat. Widening her eyes and not daring to move an inch, she looked from Kama to the girl on the floor, unsure and scared. One more step... Ohhh she hoped the other man didn't move. But why was he here anyway? By the way he spoke, he obviously knew somethingabout her, but how....? It'd been so long since she'd had contact with the outside world, she wasn't aware that anyone really knew of her existence. Was she really that important or something...? Either way, she either wanted to die right there or have something happen already that wasn't so confusing. "Help me..." Olivia spoke up, her eyes to Kama, but right back to the other just in case he made a quick movement, but even then it's not like she'd have enough time to react.

The blonde girl took the opportunity to scuttle out of the way until she reached the wall adjacent to the cell bars. Here in her almost-corner she felt at least slightly safer while she tried to figure out what was going on. Armor Man was clearly not friends with Cage Girl, who was supposed to be saved by Mister Swords? If those two were on the same team, did that mean Nameless was supposed to be on Armor Man's side?

The man loosened his grip a little. He replied, "I see, Kama. I am known as "Maelos." I have fed this prisoner, however, it was only shortly before your arrival. The man who was previously feeding this prisoner had died, and I was told by one of his relatives about the existence of this prisoner soon after the passing of that man. I plan to have this prisoner work for me. If she were to prove herself capable of preforming labor, I would have her work for me on the surface. If not then I would leave her here." Maelos continued, "If you wish to keep the prisoner for yourself, I am willing to preform an exchange. I will let you choose from a number of exchanges: - I could trade the prisoner for 10,000 gold coins or goods of equal value. You could take as long as you want as long as if you come back with some goods. The blonde one could also help you gather the goods as long as if I receive equal trade.
- Alternatively, I could take the blonde one prisoner instead as long as if she doesn't have any weapons on her.
- And if you wish to fight, we could have a proper duel outside this room. I would not recommend the latter option since you have other options leaving you uninjured."
Maelos then concluded, "Unless you have another exchange, those are your options. The choice is yours Kama." |

After some hesitation Kama said to Maelos “Fine. I’ll get you 10,000 gold coins. I don’t have the money right now, but I’ll come back soon.”
He then turned around to pick up his swords and his cape and said “C'mon Blondie. Tell me your name and let’s go. Oh and also I have one last thing I’d like to say to the girl in the cage before I leave.”
Kama looked at Olivia and was reminded of his childhood self. Seeing her trapped in there looking helpless and tortured reminded him of how he used to be treated, so he said to Olivia what he would have wanted to hear all those years ago
“Being kept in that cell for all this time is probably driving you insane. Being lonely, isolated, and feeling helpless is the worst kind of torture a person can go through. You've probably thought to yourself time and time again that you want to die, and if that’s the case... then don’t ever let that thought cross your mind again. You can’t die here because you've got a family out there that misses you, and friends out there who want to see you again. You've gotta live until I can get you out of there okay? Stay strong...”
