Chapter 10

Fighting Blind

Silents had been there almost the entire time. They hardly ever talked. The longest they had was when they got their prisoner the night before. She refused to tell the name of her employer. She tried to commit suicide by cutting her throat on a rock on the ground.

They kept walking. The only difference with the caves were their shapes and size, but they were all the same, barren and layered with gravel. They were still a good days worth away from Regalia. Just more similar caves to walk down in a similar fashion.

"We rest here for now." Ripred finally said as he layed Luxa on the ground, as she was asleep. They had fires going so she could take guard duty.

"No we can keep going. I can handle it."Gregor said. But he couldn't he had been carring their prisoner most of the day and was exhausted.

"Boy, you are not fit enough to keep carring her. You are going to over exhaust yourself." Ripred said as he pushed Gregor slightly, knocking the woman off his shoulders. Gregor accepted and fell to the ground."I will take guard you just sleep. One of us will wake you."He continued nodding towards Luxa.

Gregor merely nodded and fell into a light sleep. It was not a sleep yet it was not a doze but rather in between. He was the first to hear the rocks shifting all around them.

When he heard them he was up in a second. He didn't waste time grabbing arrows from his pocket. He loaded the crossbow and put it so he could turn and shoot in any direction. Then he saw the rock coming down upon them. It was rather big and was heading straight towards their campfire.

It hit with a thud and broke open. The flames slipped through the crack and the thing let out a loud bang. As his ears were ringing he could not see. The fire was extinguished by the rock's explosion.

He felt the paw collide with his face, ripping a cut into his flesh right above his right temple. He felt another blow to the back of his legs and fell to the gound. Then he felt a tail collide with his left temple and he felt his body give way into a subconcious state.

When his ears stopped ringing he heard the voices of their attackers. He knew they were in deep voice was rather deep like so he guessed a male."Oh, they almost made it. Suprised one of their scouts haven't found them yet. Still suprised they really thought we would take 'em to the dead lands. What foo-"The shaggy rat was cut off.

"Silence, could still be scouts near by. You saw the one just in the other cave. We'll be lucky if they didn't hear the bang." Said the other rat, with a clearly female voice. It was large, while the other was rather small and she had a large scar covering her face.

"Ok, ok well then lets grab these two and... wait who is this third?"Asked Slagor.

"Who cares lets grab the queen and leave." Luxa was already on her back.

"What of the warrior. Shall we lea-"

"Who is there?"Purred a voice in the darkness.

Gregor's hopes were up at that point. There was a small chance of them all making it out alive. Gregor felt a rush of adrenaline and mustered al the power he could.

"Help!" It was the only word he could say. Though he was glad it was loud and boomed throughout the cavern.

"You fool! You did not knock him out!"Screeched the female rat. She started running down the cavern running away. Gregor rolled to move his left arm, the arm with the crossbow on. The female was gone by then though Slagor was staying behind.

Gregor used this to his advantage. He aimed it at the rat's leg and pressed the button. It collided with the back of the knee and he was relieved it had hit. Then he senced the rat getting knocked over by a bat, then another. With that Gregor ran out of strength. He felt himself losing conciousness. He tried to fight it but it was too overwhelming. He felt it flow over him like a river.
