Summary: "When there's no where else to run": (Part of "All These Things That I Have Done" prompt series; lyrics by The Killers.)
Perhaps the Riders could have gotten away.
Mounted on their nimble, shaggy ponies, they could have picked their way safely through the mountain forest and gotten far away from here.
Armed with their bows, swords, and cunning tricks, they could have melted into the dappled shadows and hidden, waited until the danger was far away from here.
Perhaps they could have made it, Dom thought, and for once he cursed the unwieldy grandeur of the King's Own.
It wasn't supposed to be this dangerous; two squads should have been more than enough. They were more than enough—more than enough warhorses, more than enough supplies, more than enough chainmail and plate armor.
No, what they were in short supply of was speed, speed and tactical advantages.
"Dom, there's nowhere else to run," Evin shouted, pulling up his pony and turning.
Dom closed his eyes.
"Then we'll make our stand here."
