Veradis slipped a pack off of his bag, shook out a black cuirass and cloak, an iron helm, a scabbarded short sword and belt. “How are you planning on getting us out of here, Veradis?” Cywen asked. “Balur’s diversion will be over soon, and we need to get to the gates before then.” A quick downwards stab and then the eagle-guard was looking around, eyes fixing upon Cywen. Even as Haelan watched, one Vin Thalun collapsed with blood spurting from his groin, the other falling as a shield rim smashed him in the mouth, teeth spraying. Only a handful of paces away, one eagle-guard was in hand-to-hand combat with two Vin Thalun, though being outnumbered didn’t seem to be an issue for him. He saw prisoners fighting Vin Thalun, which he could understand, but there were also eagle-guard in the black and silver of Tenebral amongst the combatants, and they were also fighting Vin Thalun. “What’s going on?” Haelan blurted, staring around. Stab me later if you think I was wrong,” Cywen said to Hild as the older woman’s expression transformed between shock, joy and hope. “I didn’t want to tell you, for a host of reasons. “Swain and Sif will be glad to see you,” he said to her. Buddai leaped towards them but the Vin Thalun was dead before he reached them.Ĭywen staggered to her feet, looked down at the dead man as Haelan ran to her. One of them was Cywen, rolling on the ground with a Vin Thalun warrior. The first thing he saw was dead bodies littering the ground, burned and blackened, some still smoking, then a fire blazing in the courtyard, all about it people locked in battle. He skirted the street that led to the herb garden and hospice, then slowed, smelling smoke and fire, hearing the sounds of battle, but the dogs ran on and so after a moment’s hesitation he followed and burst into a scene of madness. That had felt like a very long time ago, and when the sounds of uproar echoed down to them and there was no sign of Cywen, Haelan decided he’d had enough of waiting. Cywen had gone earlier, saying she would be back with the rest of the prisoners, and that they should make ready to leave. He’d left Swain and Sif guarding Trigg, the half-giant bound wrist and ankle as they didn’t know what else to do with her. What’s happening? Did Cywen’s plan go wrong? The sounds of battle and alarm echoed across the fortress as Haelan ran through the streets, Buddai and Pots either side of him. Tags: Fiction / Fantasy / Epic, Fiction / Fantasy / Historical
