Chapter 7 – the escape

"I defeated a dark lord, and you thought I would have a problem with a couple of orcs" I spat out. I looked around and saw the keys to the cell on the desk. I grabbed them and ran over to the door and slipped the key inside and opened the door. And what I saw......

"Sirius!" I shouted.

"Harry! Is that you?" asked Sirius as he got to my feet and we braced in a manly hug. "What are you doing here in the Veil?"

"We will talk later; we need to get out of here. Razor was holding the orcs off; he should be at the exit waiting for us." I replied.

"So you met Razor the guardian of these lands?" Sirius asked.

"Yea, but again we will talk later. Here you might need this," I said as I chucked my god father an orc axe. It was great to see my god father again, but the proper reunions will half to wait till were safe. "Let's go, and stay close." Sirius just nodded as we took off towards the exit. When we reached the exit it was blocked by 50 or more orcs. I turned towards my god father, "Umm...do you know any other way out of here?"

"Only two, but the first is the main entrance to the castle and are likely blocked by more ocrs. And the second is to the roof of the castle," Sirius said.

"That's our best chance; we can get to the roof and have Razor pick us up there. Assuming he's not captured or dead."

"Alright, follow me Harry," stated Sirius. And with that we took off in the direction we came from. Fifth teen minutes later passing the same room I rescued Sirius from. And a little on past that we came to some stairs. "Shh! There are probably some orcs up here." So we climbed up the stairs in a hallway. He pointed to another set of stairs at the other end of the hallway. "They will lead us to yet another set of stairs, which will take us to the roof. But there our some orcs marching back in forth in the hallway we could use a distraction."

I nodded, "I got one." And I took out my old galleon I used to call the DA meetings while in Hogwarts. And chucked it into a room. Once the couple of orcs guarding the hallway went to check it out I nodded to Sirius and we sprinted down the hallway and up the stairs to we came face to face with about 5 orcs guarding the door to the roof.

"Your journey ends here!" The tallest and strongest orc said. Most likely the leader.

"We will see about that!" I spat out. And the leader lifted his hand in the air signaling the other 4 orcs to attack. I and Sirius braced our selves to fight. I and Sirius both ducked sending an orc a piece over our shoulders. And started dueling with the other two orcs. My sword flung up against the orcs axe, little sparks flying. The orc punched me and I stumbled back, the orc tuck his chance but I was too quick for him and he sent his axe at where I once was, his axe stuck into the ground I didn't waste my chance and swiftly beheaded the orc. Sirius's orc met a similar fate. Now with only three orcs left.

"Impressive for a human!" The leader orc spat out. Then signaling the last two orcs to attack us. Axe against axe, and sword against axe, little sparks flying around as metal clanged together. I and Sirius wasted no time ridding ourselves of the last two remaining orcs before turning towards the leader.

"Your turn now!" Shouted Sirius. And Sirius charged and little to quick and the orc almost finished him off if my sword didn't block his blow. When my sword the leader orcs axe were clanging against each other Sirius wasted no time and hitting the orc in the back of his head with his axe. Sirius then nodded his thanks to me for saving him. We both took off through the door and ran to the ledge. And we looked down and saw hundreds of orcs with bows shooting arrows upon us. We dogged them, and I shouted "RAZOR! WE NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE!" And the golden gryphon shot down from the sky and landed on the roof. I and Sirius jumped up on the back of the gryphon. Flying through the sky and dogging arrows in the air. We then flew into the sunset.

The master orc came up, wearing a helm with horns sticking out from each side, and wolf skin armor. And carried a huge battle axe. And stated to his general, "Get my wolf riders ready, we will track them down!"

"Yes master Rapcha," said the general as he bowed.

"You petty humans maybe be flying, but you wont be able to match the wolf's speed!" With that he jumped upon his wolf and signaled to his nine best wolf riders and warriors to follow him. And with that they sped off into the night.
