captive women had no way of raising the cage to the height of the

onto the platform when the cage door unlocked, and then climbed down the
steps to join Angela on terra firma.
Angela noted that, though the pair appeared to be ladies of quality, judging by the fine gowms that they wore, they were quite amazonian in their build, though nevertheless extremely good-looking. Of course, they weren't looking at their best right now. What skin was exposed was a reddish colour as a result of the heat that they had been subjected to, and they were dripping with sweat, so that their gowns clung to them. "Thank for for rescuing us," one of the women, a tall redhead, said. Her voice was croaky. No doubt her throat was very dry due to the heat. "We are very grateful. I am Princess Astra of Aqualaria, and this is my sister Belinda." "Pleased to meet you," Angela said, wondering if she should add "your highness" or something like that. It didn't seem like the time and place to be formal, though. "I'm Angela. At least that's what I'm calling myself, as I have total amnesia."
