Satarou clashed swords with the warriors, fighting back to back with Sparrow.

"Die already, you lousy warriors!" Satarou growled as he knocked one of the warriors out with his sword, being careful not to kill him.

But the fight didn't last long. One warrior brought his sword down fast against Satarou's, and it went flying out of his hands.

"You should just give up already if you want to go uninjured" the warrior towered over Satarou, making him growl at the suggestion.

"No thank you!" Satarou gave a roundhouse kick to the man's face and he yelped in pain.

The man's cheek was red from where Satarou kicked him. He stared down the teen, coughing a little bit of blood, "then you leave us no choice. If you won't come, I will kill the kid. What is your answer?"

Satarou looked back to see that one man had a knife held to Sparrow's throat. Sparrow just glared at Satarou.

Looking back, Satarou held out his hands in front of him, "I surrender. Let the kid go."

The warrior smirked. "The name's Yuneal. Don't forget it, kid. You will be seeing a lot of me from now on." The warrior looked over Satarou's shoulder to the guy holding Sparrow hostage, "tie him up. The kid is coming with us. He is not to be harmed under any circumstances!"

The warrior, Yuneal, tied Satarou's wrists together with rope before tossing the teen on the horse.

They have been traveling for days before they stopped in front of a castle. Satarou was in awe at how big the castle was. You could fit at least five medium sized houses in just the center of the castle alone! He could not have imagined how many houses could fit in the east or west wing of the castles, as they look to be a lot bigger than the center of the castle.

Looking around, Satarou realized that he was in a huge garden. In the garden, there were fields of flowers. He saw all different kinds of flowers, such as roses, tulips and daisies, though he also saw a bunch of flowers that he did not know the names of.

Off to one side of the garden, there was a beautiful white bench that sat on some concrete with a bunch of stepping stones leading to it. Nearby, there was a beautiful pond. The warriors led them pass the pond, and Satarou could see koi fish in it.

"Okay, we will be going to see the king" Yuneal spoke up, "Dragnol, send Sparrow to his cage in the East wing."

"Yes, sir" the other warrior, Dragnol, was carrying a sleeping Sparrow over his shoulder. Satarou didn't like the idea of the two of them being separated this early on in captivation. Satarou didn't trust people, but even so, Sparrow was still apart of his clan.

"Where do you think you are taking him?" Satarou snapped.

"Quiet, mutt!" Yuneal slapped Satarou across the face, making the teen stumble back on his feet. "The King has no need for your little friend, so he's going to his cage. You, on the other hand, are going to see the king. He will decide your punishment, mutt."

Satarou glared at Yuneal as the warrior placed tape over the teen's mouth.

"There, that should shut you up a bit" the warrior laughed as he led Satarou into the castle. Sparrow and Dragnol went in a separate direction, and Satarou couldn't do anything but watch. Knowing there was nothing he could do, he went back to observing the castle.

On each side of where he was standing, he noticed that there were rows of doors. As they walked down the West wing of the castle, Satarou realized that some of the doors had numbers, and some had names. He was able to recognize the door that led to the dining room. The floors had marble tile, and the walls were a sandy beige color.
