Alice and Silas had been waiting for a reply from Artika, and it had been 2 days since they hung Arnel on the gate. They were worried that Artika didn't value Arnel's life or if she was planning to rescue her.
It was midnight when both of them stayed awake and monitored the entrance to the palace which was at the bottom of the hill. They were on the edge, but then they one of the 12 Moons grabbed something from the wall. He entered the gate and that was when Alice and Silas hurriedly walked down the hill.
"An arrow was shot from the far distance, and it has a message wrapped on it," The knight said as he showed the arrow that he took.
Alice hurriedly took the arrow and unwrapped the cloth on the arrow. She spread the cloth open and looked at the message that Artika had written for them.
"What does it say?" Silas asked as he stood in front of Alice, curious about the reply.
