hidden features ( one x one with blackpearl44 )

[`sappho]

once she was sure that they didn't have to hide, camilla made a dash towards the edge of the roof. she could see over the wall from here. if they could get from the roof to the top of the wall then they could escape. "we need to get onto the wall," she whispered to gwynne.

[SilentMelody]

glancing around, she felt defeated as she saw nothing that could help them. unless... "can you climb trees?" gwynne asked the princess quietly and nodded towards the line of trees surrounding the castle.

[`sappho]

camilla nodded. "yes, my brother taught me," she told her in a whisper. she looked at the huge oak tree and front of her and backed up a bit. she closed her eye and took a deep breath for a moment before she ran as fast as she could and leapt to the oak tree. she grasped onto branch, trying to pull herself up.

[SilentMelody]

she glanced around warily for guards and saw none looking this way or coming this way, so camilla was fortunately not seen. gwynne began to sprint and jumped off of the edge of the roof, reaching out for a branch across from the princess. she grabbed it quickly, dangling for a moment before she regained her composure and pulled herself up. "quickly," she whispered and held out a hand for camilla to grasp.

[`sappho]

camilla quickly grabbed gwynne's hand and used it to pull herself up. she took a couple of breaths, doing her best not to look down. she knew she would get dizzy, and possibly fall, if she did. she held tightly onto the truck of the tree and started to move from branch to branch, hoping that she would get within jumping distance of the wall.

[SilentMelody]

she watched camilla carefully but remained silent, one hand held out just in case she started to slip. gwynne started to climb up at the same pace as the princess and let her go ahead a few times, glancing over the area cautiously.

[`sappho]

foolishly, camilla peeked around the edge of the trunk of the tree and locked eyes with an archer at his post on the wall. "hey!" he called out into the cold night air. "we have to go now!" camilla said, her eyes wide with fear.

[SilentMelody]

"hurry, continue climbing!" she urged and glanced over at the archer on the wall. "i'll have to take care of him," gwynne murmured to no one in particular and began swinging from tree to tree until she started getting closer to him. hopefully his attention would be divided between the two, and he wouldn't have time to call for help.

[`sappho]

camilla nodded nervously as gwynne encouraged her to continue climbing to the wall. finally, she made it to the last branch. gwynne must have taken care of the archer because she hadn't been shot yet. she climbed out on the edge, carefully balancing herself on the end before she closed her eye for a moment and took a leap of faith off of the wall.

--- im sorry for taking so long to reply! ive been very busy!

[SilentMelody]

he pulled back the string and aimed for gwynne, but she was quicker than he was. she headed for the opposite direction that camilla was going in and searched for an empty spot along the walls, somewhere where there wouldn't be any guards or archers.

(it's alright, don't worry about it!! i've been a bit busy too lol)
