Chapter 7: The plans.
As He, Zephy, and Nate sprinted through back alley ways and by soldiers and townsfolk, Tirent examined the city. The buildings were tall and had Stone bases with wooden roofs. Narrow alleyways ran in between each building and there were many beggars and other shady looking characters leaning on walls and asking for money. Nate pointed to a large tower in the center of the city, it was all white and was at least 6 levels high. "that's where we're headed" he said. As they ran, Tirent noticed that the buildings were packed with soldiers, all drinking or relaxing. Tirent realized that if they were found out then they would have half an army after them. The other team had a lot to do, having to fight all of them off. When they reached the tower, they saw that the door was guarded and if they killed the guards, people would see them. Zephy tapped Nate and Tirent, and gestured to a nearby building. They all climbed up to the roof, and Zephy pulled out his bow and shot a grappling hook that caught on a window of the 3rd level. Nate secured the end of the rope and they all shimmied up the rope. As they hopped into the room, Nate quickly checked all the entrance ways, Zephy cut the rope, and guarded the window and Tirent started searching for a map of the tower. Soon, he found it "Got it! Important papers are kept on the top level in the left room." he whispered. "is the coast clear?"
"All clear" responded Nate. "How about you Zephy?" Tirent continued.
"All the soldiers are outside now, they are running to the west, it must be Gorgo, Spindle, and Sorak."
"Good lets go."
The three of them slipped into the corridor,and found the stairs. A guard was patrolling the upper level corridor, but in Zephy shot an arrow into his back, and Nate caught the man before he fell to the ground. As they continued upwards they heard explosions and screams. "boy Those three are really giving them hell!" Zephy snickered.
