Chapter IV.

Also ARN and LILIAN had started their journey. Two wolves accompanied them to the north. On the way ARN avowed his companion, „I will send one of the wolves to TIRAN ahead. He will come to meet us at the Thunder river.“ They allowed neither themselves nor the animals a break. They rode all day long and traversed in such a way mile after mile.

Against evening they looked for a place for sleeping. After they had eaten, LILIAN turned at ARN, „do you believe that we have a chance against ARTRAC? “„We may not give up the hope. The age-old ones see only ghosts of the future. Fire fallen of the sky. Everything is possible.“ The old man purged again into silence. LILIAN thought of TURAS. Then they leid down to the sleep exhausted from the long ride, and only the wolf was their guardian in the night.

After two further arduous days ARN let them stopp at the bank of the Thunder river. Attentively he looked around. „We are no longer far from the place, in which we are to meet TIRAN. We will go the last piece on foot.“ They descended the horses and followed the Thunder river downstream. A narrow lane led along the river bank.

Suddenly the wolf was roaring and ran ahead. ARN ducked himself immediately and meant also LILIAN to go into covering. There already three men stepped from the bushes. They were armed, but they did not wear ARTRAC's coat of arms. When ARN recognized the largest man, he laughed. „TIRAN “, he called joyfully and hurried to the men.

[Vauban]

The responding man advanced toward the wolf man, „ARN, I'm pleased to see you in a good health and alive. Come, we have expected you." The warrior welcomed LILIAN with a scarce bow in her direction. The young woman examined the large man. He seemed to be quite juvenile, but LILIAN felt immediately that TIRAN was used to give instructions not to receive. Also she noticed the admiration for her leader in the other men's views.

[Vauban]

TIRAN led the two to a small cave at the river bank. There already three further men waited. After short greetings ARN opened to the warriors that the battle was imminent around the liberty. The men nodded seriously. For this moment they had prepared themselves for many years. TIRAN, which they had selected to their leader, spoke then to ARN, „our men are ready to fight. We will go immediately to the large gate fortress.“

[Vauban]

TIRAN led ARN and LILIAN to the river. A small fishing boat laid at the river bank. „Take the boat. It will carry you fast over the Thunder river. Go ashore, where the Thunder river and the Silence brook unite. Direct you then eastward, toward the sources of fire. After approximately one hour foot march you will find an old abandoned farm. There rested horses will wait for you. I wish you luck on your ways.“ With these words he discharged ARN and LILIAN.

[Vauban]

In the meantime it had become night. ARN and LILIAN decided to use the protection of the darkness. They pushed the boat together in the water, and ARN steered the boat into the river center. Then he got in the rudders, and they could be carried by the fast river of the Thunder river eastward. LILIAN laid down. After few instants their even breaths showed that she had fallen asleep. ARN took a cover and put it to LILIAN over her shoulder.
