As Adexan runs back over near Myst, she listens
as he asks if everyone is out of the house, as it is
about to collapse. Then, she sees a small waif of a
girl approaching. The girl approaches Myst. She just
seemed to stair up at her as if she had something to say
but nothing came out of her mouth. Myst looked down
at her, with an impatient look. Finally, the girl
spoke. "Ma'am, one of your men is hurt at the back of
the house".
Then with a turn, the girl was off
running into the trees. Myst turned and looked at
Makeri,"Send one of the men to go and see, bring the man
here". Makeri nods and sends one of her men.
A
few minutes later the soldier came back carrying a
body over his shoulder. He layed him down on the
ground near the party. Myst jumped down to get a better
look at the man. She recognized him as the man at the
front door who was with the girl who just ran off. She
saw he was still alive and told them to put him on
one of the horses and bring him back to the Keep. "We
will find out who he is and why he was at this house
later, but for now, we need to get out of here and back
to the Keep. Adexan, I suggest you put your fire out
and climb up one of the extra horses. We lost 2 good
soldiers here." She turns and looks at Soul and Sabre,
both have fallen unconsious now. "We need to get back
to the Keep and tend to Lord and Lady MacKermak.
Enough of this waiting around, the house is destroyed
and we have our prisoner. The wounded need tending
too. Everyone mount up, it is time to ride".
Not wanting to delay anyfurther she and Makeri take
the lead, give the command to move out, and head out
for the Keep at full speed.
