The three saw one of the wights grabbing a man by his shirt, being face to face with him. They couldn't quite understand what they were saying, but later the wight began to scream something at him and pushed the man forcefully to the ground.
Another wight nodded, grabbed his gun and pointed it at the man, who began to shake and covered his face with his hands. Then the wight shot him, causing his head to hit the ground.
Millard, Enoch and Bronwyn gasped in shock.
„What was that?" one of them said and looked around.
„There!" another one shouted and pointed at the place where the three wards were hiding.
„Run!" yelled Bronwyn and began to run, with Enoch and Millard joining her. The jars in Enoch's bag were making noises, while he was running.
But they didn't come far. Another group of wights stepped in front of them and cut their way off.
„You will come with us now. No running away anymore." said a wight and the rest of them grabbed the peculiars. The wights made sure that they got Millard too. He almost got away, but they saw his footsteps in the mud and quickly grabbed him.
„Don't think we can't see you, invisible boy."
All three of them got taken away, hoping a miracle would happen, so they can escape.

They had almost reached the fortress, but suddenly the wights stopped.
Some of the slum dwellers were in their way, swearing at the white-eyed men.
One of the wights groaned and trudged over to them, trying to make them get out of their way.
Enoch risked a look behind him and spotted a dead horse. It had black hair and the cause of its death seemed to be a fire. Some parts of its body got burned off- mostly parts of the horse's limbs.
Then he looked back at the wights, who were standing in front of them. A grave mistake, but a good chance for Enoch to save his and his friends lives.
He snuck away as quiet as possible.
Enoch sat down next to the horse and took out a jar from his bag.
He opened the jar and quickly pulled the heart out, putting it inside the horse's chest. Then Enoch stepped away from it, while the horse was slowly coming back to life.
The wights turned around when they saw the horse, that was dead a few seconds before, standing right in front of them.
The horse was puffing and in the next moment kicked the wights with its hooves, causing them to fall over.
The dead horse bend down, so Enoch could get on his back. (It was a he.)
„You two get up here too!" Enoch said when he sat down on his new friend. So Millard and Bronwyn did the same.
„Hey!!" the wight, who turned away from the slum dwellers, shouted. But they were already too far away, riding on the back of a dead horse.

„I'm going to call him ‚Midnight King of Darkness'" Enoch said and grinned.
„Why am I not surprised?..." said Millard and Bronwyn began to laugh, Midnight King of Darkness neighed in agreement.
