Part 5
I tried to be as quiet as possible sneaking through the forest, for I was wearing armor and the metal was clanking against the ground. The guards had let me in the city, and I was sneaking along the left side of the city, next to the left wall. An extremely tall stone wall surrounds the whole city of Packor. Only guards were out now. They were patrolling the city. No one else was out. It was about a half an hour past sunset.
Once I got far enough away, I quietly took off my armor and hid it in a bush. I was wearing my normal clothes: My dark green tunic, darker green cloak with the gold skull on it and hood, my dark green trousers, darker green shoes, and dark green pack. My cloak hung over the sides of my body, and it was so dark I blended in with the shadows. Bushes that surrounded the city were on my right side; the wall was on my left. The guards patrolled the town, and they were many feet away. I would be safe.
I crouched down low, my outfit blending in with the bushes. The palace was on the opposite side of the entrance. I still had some ways to go.
A few minutes later, I was facing the left side of the palace. It was still many feet away from me. I was no longer next to the wall, but hidden in some bushes. There was an empty field of grass ahead of me, then the left side of the palace. It was stone, so it would be hard to climb up. But I had rope, so it would not be as hard.
I looked to the third row of balconies from the ground. I counted from the right to the left, looking at the fifth one, that was the princes'. I looked around to see if there were any guards looking. They were all facing the entrance, the only possible entry besides the windows. The windows were barred. I would have to squeeze myself through one of the squares. I took out my coiled twenty-foot long rope.
I ran across the field as fast as I could, crouching low. I unraveled the rope, making a loop at the end. I aimed at a sphere that was attached to the corner that was closest to me on the railing. I threw it up. I missed. I aimed again and threw. It caught hold. I tugged on the rope and the loop tightened around it. I began to climb up the rope.
It was very hard because I did not have anything to place my feet against to help me climb. It was a matter of strength. The climb was a bit over twenty feet high. I had to jump to grab the rope.
A few minutes later I made it to the top. I pulled myself over the railing and landed inside the balcony. I took off the rope, undid the loop, coiled it up, and put it in my pack. I walked to the doors, which were made of glass, and looked through them. The Prince was not in it. I walked to the left side of the balcony, the closest place to the window I was supposed to enter. I would have to jump.
I put my hands on the railing, pushing my body up and placing my feet on the rail. I slowly stood up, taking off my gloves and placing them in my pack so my hands would not slip from the bars. I put my hands out toward the window, and jumped. If I fell I would break my leg. If I landed on my head I would instantly die.
I snatched one of the bars with my left hand, grabbing the bar that went horizontally across the window with my right hand. I pulled myself up so I could stand on the small edge of the window. I looked down to see if anyone had seen me. Luckily, no one was around.
I sighed and swung my feet in the bottom left square. There were curtains in the way. I pushed them aside with my left foot, putting more of my legs in. I had to shift my body aro to fit inside. With much hard work, I finally got through.
