victory and to be able to proceed into the land of Incontinence easier. Also, Incontinence will find it difficult to take over that part of the land again. 
    Adrian and Reginald dismount their horses and walk into the camp. Adrian immediately locates Captain Avery sitting in his personal tent. They both walk to the entrance of the tent. “Stay here, Lion Reginald. I will question the captain.” Adrian acknowledges Reginald nod his head, and he proceeds to Avery. “Captain Avery, King Oswald gave word that you will know the direction of Ambrose’s disappearance.” 
    Captain Avery stops contemplating his next move on the map of Incontinence and places it down on top of a table next to his chair. “I figured more would come.” Avery looks down to the map. “A knight witnessed Head Lion Ambrose leave the battlefield.” He points to the map of where their camp is located and in the direction of the movements of Ambrose. “This is where we are. The knight told me Ambrose headed out this way after his fight. I am sure the body of the man who wields the black sword is still where Ambrose slayed him. We have not cleared the battlefield of corpses yet. This should show more evidence as to which way he fled.” 
    “Is this all the information you have to provide?” 
    Avery looks up from the map at Adrian. “Yes.” 
    Adrian walks out of the tent. “Let us proceed, Lion Reginald.” 
    Avery watches the two Sicarius walk away. “Sicarius, they are always so miserable.” 
    Reginald and Adrian mount their horses and ride into the previous battlefield. They head to the outskirts of the field and scan the area. Reginald locates a fallen soldier’s body that wears Incontinence special soldier armor and rides to it. He jumps off his horse and starts to study the body and the uprooted soil. 
    Reginald notices that most stab wounds of other fallen soldiers do not go through their entire body, but not this soldier; his wounds pierce through his torso. Reginald realizes this is the man Ambrose killed. Reginald looks to the soil and sees how the soil has uprooted gravel and how it has a footprint. It shows that it is going south. 
    Adrian rides up to Reginald shortly after he has figured this out. “Is this the man Ambrose slayed?” 
    Reginald stands from kneeling. “Yes, this shows Ambrose has traveled south.” 
    “Excellent, I will track him from now.” Adrian turns his horse to the south. “Follow and stay out of sight until I come upon Ambrose. But only show if Ambrose attacks and I appear to be struggling.” 
    Reginald climbs onto his horse. “I understand.” He waits for Adrian to ride out of sight and starts to follow him. 

 
    Chapter III 
     
     
     
    Deep in the land of Incontinence, Ambrose sits around a fire. He is in the middle of the woods, and it is night. He is squatting, poking a fire next to a horse while reading the address of the letter. The front top of the letter reads “To my dearest Aida White” and underneath that, “To the village of Arcanum.” He whispers to himself the wife’s name of the man he killed, “Aida.” He then quickly snaps his eyes in the direction of the slight noise he hears. Lion Adrian steps out of the shadows of darkness knowing that Ambrose is seconds away from striking. 
    “Head Lion Ambrose, or should I say Ambrose since you left us.” Adrian drops his hood so Ambrose can see his face more clearly to signal he is no threat and comes in peace. “The king has requested me to take you back.” 
    Ambrose looks back at the fire. This man is not here to talk, he has come for my head, Ambrose thinks to himself. He quickly drops his stick, the letter, and stands brushing back his robe. He is grasping his sword tightly before these objects hit the floor, ready to fight. 
    “There is no need to fight. I assure you, I am not here for your head. Only, I bring a peace offering from the king,” Adrian said while bowing to Ambrose. 
    “The king does not want
