The Log
Raymond left the room, and Nick started to play, and when we stopped hearing foot steps up the wooden stairs, Nick stopped, and he said "Well, I'm here, what now?" I looked at him and then at Jason and asked Jason "Jason, do you know if he will kill me while occulting the duel?" Jason responded "Well, if he betrayed me and put me in here, then I guess he will in the next year."
Nick was confused, he asked "Then what does this have to do with me?"
I knew Nick could do something for me, and I'll give him freedom. And I said "Nick, you must get Raymond's trust. Enough of it to gain his keys and get us out of here. And the ones to free Jason." Nick heard the plan and he started to play again, and Raymond came into the room, he stared at all of us and Nick, I started to tremble a little, then Nick stood there, like a military man, Raymond asked him "haver' fulfilled the request our prisoner's have asked for?"
Nick gave a slight nod.
Raymond pointed at the door, and Nick left, and Raymond said "I hope you all will get used to this, because this will be everyday." He started to laugh, and closed and lock the door.
We all were so exhausted to even speak. I couldn't sleep.

The night went by, and they all were woken up to the sound of Nick's viola, The soothing sound almost made me doze off, but I didn't. Like always, we were lead to the stonemason's shop, another day in the disposer it is, I saw Nick there again.
He said "Hey, did you bring me." I gave him a nod, he smiled. I took a small amount of money from my pocket, and gave it to him.
"Raymond? What things? What brings you here?" I started a small banter, he gave me a look, one related to the First Creation, he said "I have had enough of your little tricks, now if I can't handle you, and if you want a duel, a duel you'll get."
Nick and I were lead up to his castle. I was in awe, I said "What a Monarchy." Nick responded "It isn't even constitutional." Raymond knocked on the castle doors, a guard let us in but the guard had a long beard, and he spoke in a Russian accent "You want request from The First Creation?" Raymond told him "I have desperate prisoner, who wants to duel our king." The guard started to laugh.
The First Creation's throne, I was here, Nick gave a bow. I didn't, he said "Why aren't you bowing?" I responded with confidence "He is not my king."
"Who is this worm I see before me." He looked up and saw me "Creator, it seems like you couldn't handle the duel." He turned his attention to Nick and said "One of my buskers as well."
