You take comfort from Alyssa having told you earlier that the jail was
rarely used.
No doubt a village like this wouldn't have much crime, and the chance of there
being another prisoner seems very small. However, when you open the door
you get
an enormous shock, as chained up in the cell is Prince Aaron! His mouth
falls open
in astonishment when he sees you. He wears only leather shorts and a singlet.
You recover your wits before he does and, as you search for the right key to undo his chains, you introduce him to your sister. You can't resist adding: "You warned me about getting into trouble, but you appear not to have followed your own advice. What happened?" "It's your fault I'm here," he says. "Not long after leaving you I stopped for a nap a bit off the path, as I'd been awake for a long time. I reached this village in the late evening, to find the place in a state of high excitement. Apparently they had just captured a New Amazon. Since it looked like you'd been the only survivor of the battle, and the description fitted, I thought it had to be you, so later that night I attempted a rescue mission. Unfortunately, someone must have spotted me, since just as I was trying the handle of the jailhouse door I got clobbered on the head from behind. I'd made the mistake of not wearing my helmet, as I didn't want my hearing to be impeded - still didn't hear whoever it was, though. Then I woke up in here with a headache." By this time you have unlocked his chains. You explain to him about Greger.
