A swarm of birds flew, across the sky, as the young Princess looked out of her Window. She looked over the city, stretching around her castle, wondering what the People below were doing, while she had to spent her time inside of these walls. Back when she was just a kid, did she tend to manage to sneak out of the Castle and play with the Peasant children.

However, since one of the Kings nights managed to catch her outside, did her parents keep a close eye on her. Still, she never lost hope, that she would find a way out. Even if it just to find out what happened to her old friends. With that did her eyes follow the birds. As they changed course did she wish, she could just transform and fly away.

In that moment did the door to her room open. The young Princess turned around and watched her beloved knight enter. “Did something happen, Liz?” the Princess asked. The Knight came closer. “My Princess, I had a very interesting lesson today. I am sure you will be very pleased. If you Princess would allow me to borrow her body?”

The Princess looked at her Knight. “Borrow my Body?” she repeated. “I don’t think, my father would be to pleased about that.” She said. Liz frowned. “Come on Milla, I promise you are going to enjoy what I have in mind.” The Princess sighed. “Fine, you can kiss me again.” The young Knight got red for a moment.

“That’s not what I had in mind.” Milla rolled her eyes, as she watched her eyes moving up and down her body. “Well, not more than usual. But its not about my feelings for you. Just trust me?” Milla crossed her arms. “Okay, I do trust you.”

Liz kept her eyes on the Princess and stretched out her right arm. “Sword.” Was all Milla heard, before a warm feeling shot through her entire body. She wanted to resist it, but the more it flared up inside of her, the more she just wanted to give in to it. The heat just got so intense that Milla started to lose focus.

For a Moment did she had to fight back a moan and then Liz vanished. Before she knew it, not just Liz, but her entire room, the window she was leaning against and the outside. Everything was gone. The only thing left was a unexpected stiffness and the feeling of the Ground pressing against her. Still, it was to dark to see even that.

A warm hand came out of the darkness grabbed her, holding her firmly and lifting her up. Her Body was moving, she was certain of it, but it didn’t feel like her. “What is going on?” Milla yelled out. She felt herself being moved around. “Just checking your edge alignment.” Liz said, trying to sound casual. “My edge?” Milla yelled out.

Liz now grabbed the Princess with two hands. “Yes, I got to know how perfect my new Sword is.” It took a moment for Milla to truly understand those words. The stiffness of her arms and legs, the way her body is being moved. She could just picture how Liz was swinging her body around, attacking invisible enemies. “You are as deadly as you are Adorable, My Princess.” The young Knight whispered and moved her fingers across the Blade. Sending a warm feeling across- Milla wasn’t even sure what parts of her, that Knight was touching.

Like this, all of her senses were nothing more than a mess. She wanted to scream, but it also just felt so great. She wouldn’t have minded to stay like that. As long as Liz was the one holding her. That realization snapped her out of it. “Turn me back, please.” The knight looked at the blade. “uhm, I haven’t learned that spell yet.” She admitted.

Color would have drained from Millas face, if she still had one. Only for the warm feeling to return. Seconds later, did she stood right in front her knight. Staring her in the eyes. “Sorry, I could resist it.” Liz admitted and stole a kiss from the still flustered princess.  “I would have never casted that Spell, if I wasn’t sure, I could turn you back.”

Milla stepped back from her Knight and looked out of her Window again. “That was kind of impressive.” The Princess said, still not looking at her friend. “I know, More importantly, it solves your Problem.” Liz said and stepped closer. Now the young Princess turned back to her Knight. “My Problem?”

Liz nodded. “You want to get out of the castle. But you cant walk out, because of the other Knights. However, if I turn you into a sword and leave my normal one here. I can just walk out with you” Milla sighed. She had to confess that as crazy as her friends idea was, it could just work.

Milla thought about it. “Okay, let me just change clothes.” She said and pushed her Knight out of the Room. A few Minutes later did Milla open her door again, now dressed like the daughter of a Merchant. “And what do you think?” She asked and turned on her heel. Liz took in the sight. “Wealthy enough to not question your Skins softness, but not wealthy enough to just outright kidnap you.” Liz said, lingering on the last part.

“Okay, I am ready to be your Sword, just don’t break me.” Milla said and closed here eyes as Liz stretched out her arm. “What would happen if I break?” asked the Princess, stopping her Knight, mid chant. “A small scratches, would just leave a few Marks. Fully breaking you. Well, you wouldn’t want to be turned back.” She said, with a frown on her face. “So, even if I break, as long as I don’t turn back. I am alive?” she asked. Liz thought about the spell. “Yeah, a good blacksmith, could put you back together, if they got most of your Pieces.”

“Most?” Milla asked. Liz looked at her. “Well, yeah. To turn you back in a way, that your body and soul function, it does take 80% of the Pieces. Your Soul will just bounce back from the remaining pieces, the same way losing a few hairs don’t change you and we can stitch up your Body.” Liz said and got ready to cast the spell.

“So, what happens if-“ Liz didn’t let her finish and casted her spell. Milla felt the Spell moving across her Body.  Covering her from head to toe, as her features started to melt into each other. A final yelp escaped her, before she lost the feeling in her face. Seconds later and the spell resolved. Liz stepped forward and grabbed the new Sword. She put down her old Sword and Placed Milla in the Sheath. The young princess felt the leather all around her. Feeling herself swing around, as Liz walked out of the Room.   

The steady motion made it all to easy for her to fall asleep, still she resisted it as much as possible, hearing them pass multiple Knights. Milla would have turned red, each time Liz showed her new Blade, to the Knights that spotted the new hilt and marvelled at it. As much as Milla wanted to complain about, did she stay silent, till they finally left the castle behind them.

“Was it really necessary to show me off to so many people?” Milla asked, once she was back in human form. “Sorry, it would have been more suspicious, if I would have tried to hide you. So, they just think I got a new sword. If I had tried to hide you, they would have checked you out more and figured out that it’s a Spell.” Liz defended herself.

Milla sighed, before looking around. “Okay, just follow me and lets see if we can find them.” Liz followed her Princess as they moved into the poorer Area of the city. “Dex?” Milla yelled out, as they spotted a young Man buying fruits from a Merchant. “Lia?” he said and turned around. His eyes, checked her up and down, resting for a moment at her chest, before looking at her eyes. “You certainly grew up.” He commented.

She stepped closer and hugged him. “I am so glad to see you.” She said, finally releasing him. “Honestly, I was worried about you. Ever since the Knights took you, there wasn’t a sign of you. We thought, they sold you off to some slave trader or worse.” Milla just shock her head. “My Father, heard about it and used his connections to get me out. He however grounded me till I am 50 or married.” She said as they walked along to their old hideout. “So, where are the others?”

Dex put down the fruits. “Some became Knights, some mercenaries, others got sold and some didn’t got to far. Now its just me keeping an eye on the Kids. Unless your Knight friend there has a problem with that?” he asked and glared at Liz. “No, if Lia is trusting you, then I am not going to do anything.” She promised.  

With that did the Three cut up the fruits, as the local kids entered the hideout, once they knew, that the Knight lady wasn’t dangerous. “So, that’s where you spent your time as a Kid.” Liz said after playing tag with a few of the Kids. “Yup, there are still the Knife holes in the wall.” Milla said and walked over to them. “Knife…holes?” Liz asked and watched as Dex face got a bit red.

Milla laughed. “Yeah, Dex thought that being a Performer, could get us all the money we need to move into a proper house.” She said. Liz looked at the holes. “That still doesn-“ Milla silenced her. “I was getting to it. One of ideas was a knife throwing act, So I said, that if he managed to throw 10 knifes in a straight line, I would stand in front of the target.”

Liz looked at the holes all over the place. “So, did he manage that?” Milla laughed. “Oh god no, I would have more holes than a piece of cheese, if I let him try that on me.” Dex stepped forward. “hey, I have gotten better at it.” He defended himself. With that did she turn around and placed herself against the wall, striking a pose. “Okay, three Knifes.” She challenged him. Before Liz could step in between, did he pick up the knifes, they used for the Fruits and threw them.

Milla held her breath as she felt the Knifes hitting the wall. To her surprise did he manage to not scratch her. She pulled the Knifes from the wall, impressed to see how close he got to her. “Well, you win. Dex.” He took the knifes from her. “Thanks for trusting me enough to stand there in the first place.” He said.

“So, what did he win?” asked on of the Kids. Milla looked around at the Kids and Liz watching them. “I don’t know, what do you kids think he earned?” one of the young girls looks up at them. “A Kiss.” She said, followed by the boos of the boys. “Well, looks like your wingmen aint winging it.” Liz joked.

Dex blushed. “That’s okay, I do a have trick, I have been searching the right Assistant for.” He said. “Really?” Milla asked. “Yeah, the kids here are to small and I certainly don’t have the money to pay someone with your looks.” With that did Milla look around. “Okay, I am in, simply because I want to know, what it is.”

With that did he walk into the backroom of the hideout. “Uhm, can you move your cloths to show your midriff?” he asked. She froze for a moment. “Why?” He sighed. “Apparently fabric can get in the way of it and if I have to get you out, I cant pay to repair it.” While he got all the things together, did Liz and Milla exchange glances, before she lifted her shirt to tie it up.

With careful movements did he push the Table into the front room of the hideout. Milla looked at the Table. “Where did you get this?” Dex whipped over the box resting on the table. “Last year, when the Circus was here. The Performer, that owned it retired after their show was done and since I helped with t heir animals, did he gift it to me, as a bonus. She even showed me how it works.”  He said.

Liz looked at the Box. “That doesn’t look safe.” She commented. Milla sighed. “And if something happens, can you kick him with my blessing.” While the two argued did Dex open the Box. “Lia, do you mind, if I pick you up?” he asked. Milla let herself fall into his arms. Letting him princess carry her to the box. He carefully lifted her up, over the box and then let her slowly down.

Once she laid flat in the box, did he walk over to her feet and untied her shoes. Milla sat up and glared at him. “Whats that supposed to be?” she complained and crossed her arms. “Well, its important to show, that those are your Feet and shoes get in the way of that.” Milla started to reget her decision, however, she let him take off her shoes before placing a wooden panel over her ankles, making sure, that she wasn’t going anywhere.

Following that up, by helping her lay back down again. He instructed her to hold her hands next to her head, as he placed the second panel, to lock her head and wrists in place. “Wow.” He whispered. “What is?” did Milla asked and searched his gaze. “You fit perfectly.” He commented as he walked away from her predicament.

Her eyes moved across the room, seeing the anticipation in the kids eyes and the worry on Lizs face. “Hey, there is no need to frown.” Milla said and gave her audience a brave smile, followed by shocked gasps, as the Audience watched Dex return, with a large saw. Seeing that shift, did Milla try to turn her head, but all she could see was Dex, standing at the middle part of the Box, with something in his hands.

“And now, ladies and gentlemen. I shall saw my lovely Assistant in two.” He announced. Milla laughed. The idea of him sawing his assistant was kinda funny. Till she felt the sawing across the box. Reminding her, that she was the assistant about to be sawn in half. “Uhm, is there are trick I should know about?” she whispered. He leaned closer. “Just relax. I am not actually sawing through you. Its just going to tickle you.” He promised and Milla clamed down her nerves. At least she tried to.

She felt the saw moving deeper and deeper into the box. Slowly, getting closer to her body. Trusting in her old friend, did she held her breath, as the teeth of the saw moved across her body. The second stroke broke her composure and she started to laugh. “Oh god, that tickles.” She got out before laughing again.

The tension in Lizs body relaxed as she watched her friend laugh about her situation. While the Kids  looked on in amazement as the saw made its way, fully through the box. Once the Saw was level with the table, did Dex pull it out. “Now, should we release, my lovely Assistant from her torment or check, if I really sawed through her?” The Kids argued, not getting a unified decision. Dex smirked. “Well, how about you, my lovely Assistant. “Do you want to prove, that you have been sawn in half?” he asked.

She smiled. “Certainly.” And with that did he pick up two metal blades. He placed the two in the slot he saw into the box. Letting them slide through the gap. Milla tensed up as she felt the cold metal sliding through her body. “Hey.” She yelled out, feeling that one of the Blades didn’t fully slide through. So Dex walked over to her head and pulled on it, just enough to hear the blade slide into place.

Much to the amazement of the crowd. With that did he walk back to the centre. He clipped the table, showing that it can be turned into two smaller ones and pushed them just enough apart to step in between them. Milla could feel her body move in two different directions. “You lied.” She yelled out and tried to free her hands and feet. Only to get a bunch of laughter from the Kids.

“How do you feel?” asked Liz with a bit of concern in her voice. “Rather divided.” Came it from her, only to be turned around by Dex. After a few spins, did her feet end up next to her head. “Oh, they do look cute from that angle.” Admitted Milla and watched her feet move a bit. “You can put me back right?” she asked as he moved her so that her fingers can run across her soles. “Only one way to find out.” He said and rolled her two halves back the way they were supposed to be. With a practiced motion, did he clip the table back together. He waited for the audience to pay full attention, before he pulled out the two Blades. Much to the relief of his Assistant.

He then opened the top of the box, only to lower it again. “Oh, that isn’t good.” He mumbled. Much to the concern of Milla, Liz and the Kids. “What is?” did Milla asked slightly worried. “I think you peed yourself.” Her face got red. “I did not.” She yelled and pushed her restraints up. She looked down on herself, once she managed to sit up “You ass.” She complained and got up.

Once up, could the audience see, that she completely unharmed. Much to Lizs relief. “So, how was it?” did the Knight ask. “It was fun, I would let him do it again.” She said and looked over to Dex. “Thanks Lia.” He said and pushed the Table back to the other room. Liz looked outside. “we should get back, before your father notices.” She said.

Milla had to agree. “Bye Dex. I will try to visit again.” She said and grabbed Lizs hand as the two walked out. He looked after them, as they left the hideout. “Bye Princess. Until we met again.” He whispered to himself.  

As they reached the shadow of the castle, did Liz transform Milla into a sword again. Making her way, back into the castle and returned her Friend back to her Room. Turning her back just in time, before anyone noticed her missing.
