The chronicles of Mittland Part 02 Time of the dragons

They managed it to run unnoticed to the barracks wall. They climbed steep stairs to the walk along of the battlements. Hador took a hook and a rope, which he carried over the shoulders, embodied both at a battlement and whispered to JURAS, "you first.“ JURAS climbed quickly at the rope down to the ground, LILIAN and ARN followed him. 

[Vauban]

Hardly that JURAS had his legs on the soil, the call rang out from the dungeon, „the prisoner fled!“ During the four fled into the protecting darkness of the side lanes, the soldiers hurried over the yard, and the first left the barracks on horses. But it was a dark night, clouds hid the moon. So the four could flee unnoticed in the protection of the darkness.

ARN led his fellows now on devoured ways by the town up to a house. He knocked on the door. Above their heads a window was opened and a voice asked, „who's there? “ ARN answered, „four wolves are looking for the herd and are asking for a safe hide-out.“ Inside a latch plate was pushed back, and one invited the four in the house.

[Vauban]

A middle aged man welcomed ARN, „wolf man, beautiful to see you again. We heard that the soldiers would have imprisoned you. How could you flee? “„That I have to owe here to my friends. They freed me few instants ago from the dungeon. We need a hiding place, until the soldiers take off again."

„Follow me into the cellar!“ The unknown man led them across an old staircase down into the cellar. There he pushed a few bags to the side and removed some boards from the soil. A flap became visible. He opened it and said, „go down there! I let you know, when the soldiers will be disappeared.“

[Vauban]

The four descended quickly the ladder and arrived into a mouldy dark room. A small oil lamp donated a little light.

[Vauban]

The companions heard, how the boards and bags were pushed above again over the flap. ARN led the three into the rear corner of the room. There they took place on the soil. „Thank you for the rescue from the dungeon. Tomorrow I should be brought to the hangman. How could you free me, and who is the young lady with you? “

[Vauban]

„Our target was actually RAS. We didn't know anything about you. Your liberty owes you LILIAN. She is the daughter of the smith, with whom RAS was in the training. We owe it to her idea that we could penetrate nearly unnoticed into the barracks. She infatuated one of the soldiers doing the kitchen service.

[Vauban]

He expected a hot date this night. So he let down for LILIAN a rope at the barracks wall, as thanks he got in the kitchen a knock-out by her“, avowed JURAS with a smile. „Out of the kitchen we arrived in the dungeon and supplied the guardians there in a similar way. The remainder you know.“

[Vauban]

Now it was at LILIAN to seize the word „nevertheless where is RAS? “„On the way to ARTRAC's castle. TRACANSIS seems to have recognized him and let him remove immediately. Thus he will bring now both under his control.“ „Both? “, irritated Lilian looked to ARN.
