Samuel went to fetch the guns. While he was doing this he heard a girl's voice. It was Eliška.
"Welcome to Hills of Grace," she thought, "my name is Eliška. I am also Mík. What are you doing in mine?"
"My name is Lord Admiral Samuel Wellington!" Samuel replied "I sought only sanctuary and food and with providence I found both. In addition I have a found a rather damaged young lady called Katka."
"Be honest the Lord Admiral title is an exaggeration Sam Well." Eliška teased.
"No! It's a long story but may name is really Lord Admiral Samuel Wellington." Samuel admitted. "Forgive the title but it may be useful shortly."
"I will call you Sam Well and you are welcome to stay in mine, although most locals would think you mad for entering in case you wake Sleeping Army." Eliška warned. "Local people think that mine is haunted but Sleeping Army is really potent force there... but so far Sleeping Army is pleased with you."
"What or who is the Sleeping Army?" Samuel asked. "And why isn't it the sleeping Navy?"
"Sleeping Army was there years before navy took an interest in mine. If you wake it then you will find out!" Eliška replied cryptically. "But it seems that Sleeping Army has been waiting for you. My Auntie Sacha thinks that you are that man!"
There was a long pause.
"How did you know that I was here?" Samuel asked.
"Twins were thinking of you because they were worried that you might steal their book!" Eliška's said. "You remember two boys that tried to scare you away."
"What book is it?" Samuel asked.
"Boys book of science or something like it." Eliška said.
"I like to think that my scientific knowledge has gone a little bit beyond a Boys book of science." Samuel said. "I rose through the ranks in the Navy, first as a technician and then as a fully qualified engineer finally rising to the top. They may be interested that I used to mend helicopters and submarines."
"Boys will like that and that may prove useful one day!" Eliška said. "But I must go now... I can hear Auntie calling and she has been drinking!"
