Torin the dragon rider (TOME 12 of the TIAMAT'S WARS SERIE)

Carnage

We crossed the gate and arrived in the courtyard of Britannia Castle.

Bleachers were being set up, obviously a mock justice show.

We were manhandled and Ravenar personally held the chain of Rubix. We followed.

Our only hope was Henry, who had not been captured. His thieving skills would be put to the test this time.

We were thrown into a dark dungeon with just a pitcher of water and straw.

At the bottom, a skeleton... no... It was a starving old man He was in irons, chained.

"Ah... A dragon... Please kill me quickly! A short death..."

Then he saw me... "Ah. Children! Bastards! .... Putting children here...monsters...."

It was old Saul

When there was no one left in the corridors, it was decided to give the poor man first aid.

Me: "Saul... do you know what is going to happen? They come up from the bleachers..."

They bring out the Widow... They are going to execute terrorists but in fact resistants faithful to Lord British against this imposter and his clique.

Lord British wanted to abolish the powers of the nobles following the events and the Codex avenue and they betrayed him

"Do you know if there is a way to escape?

"Yes, but I'm too weak now and I'm tied up..."

"We promise to come and free you. We want to overthrow Blackthorne..."

"Who are you and what is a dragon doing here?"

"I am Torin, son of Ragul and we came to free Shamino, Iolo and the others but we got captured in the castle!"

"I am Rubix and these are my companions..my family."

Saul : "A talking dragon...I thought they were all extinct but I'm glad I'm still alive to see one, a beautiful one at that.."

He pointed to the brazier, "Into the embers, the mantra "AUM" and push on the inverted brick!"

But we were interrupted by Lord Blackthorne who came to visit us in the dungeon, well, on the right side of the bars.

"Terrorists give terrorist seed..."

Rubix "We know about Lord British..."

Me : "We don't need your morals..."

Lord : "You will tell me the mantras for the sanctuaries and your parents will be spared..."

Saul: "No! Nothing will stop them! Don't say it..."

The regent grinned.

"Children, you have a choice! "Then he made a sign to the guard who opened the door, others pointed their spears and he took old Saul away. Then we were also chained and followed the guards and the regent until our eyes were dazzled by the light.

The nobles were on the steps and everyone took their seats.

In the center, a structure hidden under a veil.

Musicians sounded their trumpets and a cart with a cage on it, pulled by a mule, appeared. Inside, Shamino, Iolo and Dupre were pulled out of the cage and tied to a post with a whip attached.

The people applauded and Ravenar took his place next to Amon on the stage of the officials and Lord Blackthorne's throne.

The sky was cloudy, on the verge of rain, but the place was crowded, the performances were as rare as they were cruel, and that did not inspire anything good.
