There was a small hill that the kids hid behind and waited for their dads signal. He was currently peeking over Hemereld's Valley's walls. He looked back at them and nodded. Sam barely scaled the wall, Riley didn't have much trouble getting over it, but their father easily scaled it. They all got into a crouched position and ran behind a blacksmiths hut. Their father pointed at a hut a few huts away and whispered.
"That's were we need to get to."
Three guards passed, stepping in sync with each other. They didn't notice anything wrong. Their father took off into the darkness behind his brother's hut and signaled for Sam to came quickly. He took off and looked behind him to look for the guards anywhere but he could not see anyone. He faced forward only to body slam into cold, hard, and painful body armor and fell down with the leg with his knife in it under him. The guard turned around and said.
"Boy! How dare be out at this time! You know the rules about curfew!" The guard grabbed Sam's shirt and lifted him to his feet and threw his hood off. He examined Sam's face and said "I haven't seen you around here before?" Sam looked at the guard and thought of a puzzle that hopefully wouldn't anger the guard but would confuse him. Before the guard could say anything Sam quickly said
"Wait before you take me away, I have a riddle. If you get it wrong you let me go, but if you get it right," Sam paused there "then we'll deal with that then." The guard looked at Sam and said coldly
"Fine. Riddle away."Sam gulped then said a riddle his sister told him a while back before they started getting chased.
"A man rode into town on his horse on a Saturday. He stayed in the town for three days and then left on Friday. How?" The guard set him down and thought about it and said
"How?" He said coldly.
"Give me an answer and if your wrong I'll tell you." Sam said inching backwards. The guard looked at him firmly and said.
"Alright I'll tell you what I think," the guard grabbed Sam's arm and said in his face "his horse was named Friday. And you're coming with me to the dungeons for one being out so late and two trying to get away from your consequences."
