Amos

He was still unsure how it could be possible that human came from nowhere has been able to break the chains, which have been imprisoning him for a century, just touching them, but, honestly, he didn't care so much about it since he was finally free from them.

«Those idiots are so full of themselves that they haven't surveyed carefully this dump.» Amos muttered, keeping observing his new acquaintance.

«What the Hell are you and how did you get here?» He asked her, not loosening the grip on the young woman, who, in the meanwhile, was trying to wriggle, unfortunately effortless.

«What am I?! Maybe the one who should be asking that it's me! Anyways, how dare you hug me as if we were close? Could we please keep vital spaces? It's clear that it has been a while since when you got involved with a woman, but could you try to do an effort?» She replied, with a hippo's grace!

«Listen, I think you haven't understood the situation...» He began, but he still hadn't finished talking that Clara was already looking for a weapon for defense!

Amos was upset, during his long life had seen a lot of different people, but she was unique!

«I don't know if I should be more admired or amused of the fact that you think being able to defend yourself from me with a simple piece of metal when I could simply attack that beautiful head of yours just by thought.» He confessed to her with an evil smile on his face, while a persistent strand of hair falling on his face.

The dragon was sure that after this she would get scare not daring uttering a word, but it didn't happen!

«Do you think to scare me, dude?» She asked with a trembling voice, but still supporting his gaze.

Her eyes hit him like they were animated by a burning fire. It was inexplicable, but he avoided putting too muck stock, at least, for the moment.

«To be honest, listening to your tone's voice and your heartbeat, I don't think so and, if I can be honest, you are right. Only stupid don't have fear and, in fact, they don't live a long life.» He concluded with an English lord's nonchalance.

In other circumstances, Clara would have laughed it off, but since her life depended on the mood of this kind of winged and evil top model, she preferred thinking about a way to get out of there the soonest possible and to come back home wherever it was!

«And, instead, you are wrong because the undersigned doesn't fear anyone and anything, is it clear?»

«Wow, I didn't think you were so stupid, evidently, I'll have to change my mind.» He answered, passing to a serious tone, getting closer more and more.

«I don't know how I got here or why, but I know that I won't die here! And, from as much as you can try scaring me, I can guarantee you that it's all useless, since what I understood, you need me to get out of here and if you don't change your attitude, I don't think that I will help you. Do you understand it?» She told him, hoping that this farce could have shown him that she was not so maneuverable like he thought. She was terrified, but it wasn't surely the case to show him!

«Are you really trying to deal with me?» He thundered like she had just made him an indecent proposal!

«Hey dude, could you, maybe, trying being gentler, don't you think so? I don't think you are at your best and, anyways, if you are so strong like you keep saying, how come were you molding attacked to chains? Have you maybe made your "boss" angry?» She replied, aping him.

Patience was not one of his best qualities and the newcomer wasn't trying to avoid discussions!

«Haven't you thought that I am here for having done something serious? If it was the case, why shouldn't I do the same to you?» He asked her in a mixed tone of blackmail and passion, relying with an arm on the wall and keeping her immobilized with the other one.

«In any case, you need me, so I have an idea.»

«I am all ears.»

«If we want to get out of here alive, we need to help each other. I have managed breaking these chains just touching them, so think if I try my best what I could be able to do.» She told laughing and giving a flap on his shoulder!

Amos didn't know if he should smile or cry!

"This woman is not normal, but, surely, she is very self - confident. It will be better if I try to ingratiate her because she could be helpful and, if it wasn't so, I could always get rid of her once far from here." He thought, keeping asking himself on what an apparently normal young woman could hide.

"She has told that she came from a place called Italy. I never heard of it. And how has she found a portal? Ah, I'll have to think about it later, first of all, I need to get out of here."

«And what do you want in exchange?»

«That you don't kill me and that you help me to come back home. I think that it's a fair deal.»

«I am already making you the favor avoiding to kill you, so why should I get involved in something that I don't care about?» He asked.

«Because a portal opened in the center of my room, taking me to this unknown place, in a cell with someone like you, so there must be a cosmic explanation that I am not aware of; so, recapitulating everything is your indirect responsibility, then if you have a conscience, you will help me. Anyways, or you do this way or nothing, the choice is up to you.» The young woman ended, starting wandering around the room.

"I could give her my word and then leave her to her destiny, since she doesn't seem very clever." Amos thought so when, suddenly, he heard the guards' steps.

«If I don't do it now, I don't know if I will have another opportunity. Ok Clara, you have my word, get me out of here and I will find a way to send you back from where you came.» He answered, forced to accept her proposal.

«It's the first time that you call me by name, maybe you are finally learning bon ton...»

Right in the middle of the speech, he closed her mouth and hided her with his own body, avoiding that the guards noticed her presence. He waited that they were distant enough from the cell before leaving her. That young woman had something special that he would have had to discover!

«Well, ok... Let's get to work.» She exclaimed, embarrassed, red like a pepper. Oh well, he was the most beautiful man she had ever seen and she was a woman!

After some seconds of concentration, the cell's doors opened like for magic, although neither of them knew how to explain it!

«But do you know why I can do this?» She asked, curious and scared, like she was realizing just now in what trouble she was getting in.

«I have no idea, but I want to find out the reason. But now, hold on tightly and let's start getting out from here.» And after that, he hadn't neither the kindness of explaining her the plan that he lifted her, running who knows where.

This incredible adventure starts!
