While the other men sat down resting, to eat and drinking. Josh addressed Skye and the three fairies who he made to stand on top of the table to see, pointing at their route to follow and make the mission accomplished.
Then Josh moved towards Juliet who laid on the cot and sat beside her while Skye and the three fairies moved out for action.
"In my rolling horses, up-up then I ascend, up-up I ascend." Juliet hummed and recite her lolling poems when after a few minutes she opened her lips.
"Can we settle after this whole thing of a mission is over?" She asked Josh as she looked at him with gentle eyes, she has watched many of them died just for this mission and she only wishes it could end so that she can be with him.
Josh laid close to her and face her as he caresses her cheek. "Of you wish it happen even now, then as you order, I move." He told her.
Hearing this Juliet arise in exceeding excitement. "Upon my heart, I fear your manner, but towards my plea I am glad, as the day may have it, I need it now." She told him.
Josh stood and made their coupling known to everyone. "My dearest and I are about to sit and have the food being shared, please my friends can you all make it happen, even flowers is enough to further. I love flowers." He announced.
As the others took up the decorations, Juliet left the camp with Constant and Henry to some distance to get logs of woods for the cook.
As they approached lake Winnipegosis from prince Albert whence they had come, the three of them were surrounded by unknown warriors.
"Bound the fresh slaves alive and leave their throat to me!" One warrior that seems to be the Captain spoke aloud to the others.
"Mr Walter, you are becoming harsher to the other soldiers since Victor left the slaves capture to your hands as our new Captain." One soldier's cuts in.
"I beg you, be thou kind towards thy fellow." He said again and immediately, the three captives were put into a carriage and rode to Edmonton the great.
...
Meanwhile, Skye carried the three fairies, running from West and suddenly turning South and again she stood a while contemplating whether or not to choose East.
Then at last she thought negative as she was persuaded by the three little fairies to move west, so she followed and then curved her South-West and again South and towards East till she came to face north.
"Oh, wow!" Skye exclaimed as she looked at the huge tall wall. "These walls are much huge than I have thought, getting out might not be that easy." Skye soliloquized.
She moved towards the back gate of Saskatoon, as soon as she got in, buyers and sellers were found negotiating, soldiers discussing, prisoners shouting as they starve-It was chaos.
She then used her hood to cover her hairs in other not to get noticed, she hops in through a huge door and came to a passage that bears many protectors to which old member slaves are kept to doom.
Then she was moved by an alert almost to be heard to alarm one watchman soldiers. "Who are you and what business do you have here?" The soldier asked her pointing his sword to her neck.
Meanwhile Gilbert and Tagore fired their little arrow and made it prick into the eyes of the soldier, a slightly further scream made Skye hook him hard by the jaw and then the soldiers went sinking to rest.
Skye quickly pushed him into one prison gate and shut the door again, then she took the keys towards the last five protectors to which she heard sounds.
She called silently one of the ladies who kept calm as the others faced front shouting and screaming for help to come.
"I see the peace that lies ahead in your eyes." The old lady said as she stretched out her hands-on Skye's shoulders.
Skye robbed her hands to the old lady who kept speaking with a cracked voice. "I beg of you, bring help to our people before Lord Zeus Magic sword gets to the hands of Lord Dewees."
As she mentioned these two names, a zephyr moved in from forward and Skye said to her immediately as she gradually and silently opened the protector that the others may not notice.
"I need you to come with me, cause Josh would need you more than anything," Skye told her and the woman stepped out in a feeble look and Skye made the three fairies stand on her shoulders while she grabbed the old woman who stoops down as she walked.
The old lady gazed at Skye and asked quietly. "Are you sent by the gods? Who are you that you are accompanied by the fairies of prophecy?"
"When we succeed in getting out, I will tell you everything you need to know and you will tell me yours," Skye told her, right now she needs to focus on getting out of here alive.
"Hey!" Proclaimed an army who spot them. "What are you doing with an old woman?" He asked.
"I am helping her walk to the other side across that wood," Skye replied anxiously.
As the soldier was about to draw out his sword, the old lady poured out a blue glittering source off her palm and this made the soldier freeze and remain still, then she moved quickly like someone who just became young of age and went out with Skye catching up through the gate.
The two ladies ran as their legs can lead them towards the direction of lake Winnipegosis till the old woman stopped and sat on a little rock covered with ice.
Then she buried her face on her palm and wept an old ladies tears for a while as she pointed towards the South direction.
Skye gazed at her for some moment. "You seems to know the past and future," Skye said. "What made you this way?" She asked the old lady.
At this time the old woman spoke furiously. "The end you say started from the beginning, the past tells the future what measures it can tell to hope."
"Our saviour, many believe is dead, but a little piece of my heart and thought to make me believe he still walk on the soil, I am or used to be his guardian, but no more."
"We see the future from the present, Lord Zeus may be gone, but his voice would reign in the clouds." She finished in anger.
"Why do you speak in riddles miss?" Skye asked her since she can't understand what the lady was saying. "What is your name?" Skye asked the old lady. "I am Skye if I may introduce myself."
The old lady looked at Skye. "I am Steller Packan." The old lady replied the second time. "And I made Julijosh escape death the past twenty-five years."
Skye looked at the lady and stepped a bit further. "How old are you?" Skye asked her.
"As I view your appearance." Steller opened her lips to continue. "Add twice and a half of your age, then you may presume mine, but for now, let's see your helping partners."
The old woman got up and the two ladies and three fairies again journey towards the north to Prince Albert.
