the four horsemen

Rescue

**The sound of the lock of the iron door rang once more, Neila was already up, she was waiting behind the door.

She had broken her lace last night, she was now free, once the door would be open she would be free.

Free to unleash her rage.

As soon as the dark figure she was so used to appeared on the door she jumped on him.

She beat his throat, ripping off his charotide with her bare teeth.

Blood spurting out of it.

The walls were now red, she couldn't see it because it was dark, but she could smell it.

The smell of blood she was so used to.

This smell was the most satisfying scent she smelled, but she still had a lot more to do.

She took his dagger, looked back at him.

His head was now on the other side of the room, a simple precaution, to be sure.

She heard footsteps, they were running, she would have to kill them all.

So that she would be free.

-Neila? You are still daydreaming ? It's not really the moment sweetie, said Rosa while pushing her hair behind her ear with her fingers.

-I hope you still remember the plan ? said Scaf while looking behind his shoulder.

They were in a carriage. Scaf in the front leading the horses, and Rosa and Neila in the back.

-Euh ye, said Neila coming back to reality, I'll jump once we get in the castle and follow the map the guards gave us, while you put the carriage on fire to create a distraction.

-Well, it sounded more complicated in my head, said Scaf. Meh it should work.

-Then we meet here, she added pointing at a little cross made on the map.

They stole the carriage from a noble family they knew had to go to the castle, they got the intel from guard in the castle that are done with the prime minister and just wanted to disappear, they counted on the chaos created by the attack to fly away and never come back. They also gave them a map of the castle and the donjon so they can get Moris as fast as possible.

-Okey everyone, we've been planning this for two weeks, it's now the time to save that moron, get ready !

-Halt there, said the guard at the door, state your business or leave from here, or we'll make you leave.

-Gently there, we're the Cramer family, we have an appointment at the castle, said Scaf in the most natural way.

-Hummm let me check, said the guard while checking a little book he had in his pocket.

-This way, he said at last, sorry for the rudeness but we gotta be careful.

-Thanks, said Scaf while nodding.

As soon as they were inside the castle Neila jumped from the back and hid in the bush and followed the track written in the map.

Scaf and Rosa put the carriage in the stable and put fire to it.

They then ran towards the garden.

But the guards arrived faster than they thought.

They were surrounded in no time.

-Hey babe, what do you say we get married right now, in the imperial castle, surrounded by so many guests, sais Scaf while drawing his battleaxe.

-What a wonderful idea honey, and just so you know, if you didn't bring a gift, you die, said Rosa while she got her katana out of its scabbard.
