"Well not literally keys but a special type of sticks… oh, you don't plan to throw some and ask them to leave with us, right?"
"I'll give them the chance to be freed," Arthur said, "and I'll ask them to help others as well."
"Sigh, you misplace your trust in those who will do anything to live," John shook his head helplessly before adding, "fine, go and throw your sticks but be sure not to alarm the guards by your shouts… And don't expect me to stop and help."
"Fine by me," Arthur nodded before taking out short sticks like the one that guard used to slash him and John before. John nodded to him before he turned to the nearest cell and said: "Free yourselves."
He threw a stick to each cell he met while running, "free others as well," he added while vanishing behind the stairs heading to the higher level after John.
