The
delicious smell of cooking food wafted down the dungeon corridors.
The men
around the king stirred in their cells, it was such a long time since they had
eaten.
- I am
old, he heard a muttering voice, hundreds of years old and nobody respects me.
Who needs to carry food to the prisoners? Killa, of course. No, there's no one
else around to do it. It has to be me. No respect for the age...
The aroma
of the food grew stronger and the king could hear sounds of something being
dragged on the cave floor.
- So
which one of you is the supposed king, a grumpy voice asked from the darkness.
The men
waited in silence, they had not given him up, even after all that had happens
to them in the jaguar men's hands.
- For
goodness sake, Killa swore, your son sent me, Amarun. I'm supposed to be here
to save you.
King
could see the old man dragging large bowl of food.
- My wife
sent this to you, he explained, you'll need all your strength to escape.
- To
escape, the king repented his bursts instantly.
- Yes, we
are here to save you and get you back to your families, the old man sneered, I
have bowls for you here somewhere. You need to eat fast so you'll ready when
Iluku says it's time to leave. I'm Killa, by the way, nice to meet you and all
that.
- Killa,
one of the warriors shouted in surprise, the man from the moon?
- Yes,
that's me, Killa preened, and who are you?
- I'm
Rumi, the man stammered and blushed.
- And I
am Umasiki, the king interrupted, what I would like to know is, why should we
trust you?
The men
in their cells took a step back and waited in silence.
- You
don't need to trust me, Killa started serving the food, just eat and be ready. It won't
be long anymore.
