Ch. 7 The Execution

The morning came all to early. This was the morning that the execution would take place. Michiah had finally lost all hope that someone would save her. They were going to have the execution in the courtyard in front of the Daien keep. She reported to the King for her slave work that morning but all he said was get ready for the execution. The truth was the King was sad he was losing one of his best slaves ever. He knew it was for the better though. If she remained alive she might try to retake the throne.

Ike and the crew were having some rough time with the Daien soldiers. They had stopped in several towns all abandoned. It seemed everyone went to see the Silver Haired Maiden executed. They all managed to survive with little damages because they were so strategic. They knew this was the day of the execution and it must be stopped. The air was cold and it was raining making it hard to travel.

Michiah was staring her torture session everyone around watching closely. She was getting hit with tasers and sprayed with pepper spray. The pain was grueling. Everyone around her was laughing as again and again she fell to the ground throughing up on the courtyard grass. She had already been shot in both legs and arms. Her arms and legs were bleeding bad. They were going to use a method of burning alive. They were going to hang her by her arms and light the fire to were it would burn her legs first and go up. They would continue to lower the rope until she was gone.

Sothe was in the trees waiting for the right moment to move. Michiah was already unconscious and they were hanging her up now. Sothe knew they would wait till she was conscious before lighting the fire. He looked at Nolan down the road and gave him the cue to move in. Leonardo was also up in the tree giving Edward the signal to move in as well. Sothe in one swift movement dropped from the tree and moved in through the crowd.

They lit the Fire and it began singing Michiah's feet. She immediately woke up, but stayed completely silent. She was about to die. Sothe crept up behind a guard and silently waited. Suddenly with a whistle through the air an arrow hit the wire she was dangling on. She fell like she was going straight in the fire. She screamed but was cut short as Sothe ran up, rolled, and jumped right over the fire to catch Michiah.

" It's alright," He whispered to Michiah.

Nolan and Edward ran out of the the crowd to hit a guard in the back with his axe, and Edward with his sword. Michiah got to her feet and chanted a spell that blinded the guards giving The Dawn Brigade enough time to flee the area without getting noticed. They found Ike and metup with him to travel back to Crimea.
