Chapter 5- The night raid
Kane led the raid to the castle, he knew where to go and who to find, yet it still left Jeff, Matt and Trish in the dark. "If you know where to go… why are we here?" asked Jeff.
"Incase there is a change of plans!" Kane replied. "Come on, we don't have much time!" They flew on the backs of the griffins, as they made a quiet entrance to the castle. Silently, the stalked the side of the walls as Kane peered into a room, the man they were searching for was kept prisoner. "Psss!" Kane whispered. It caught the old man's attention. He came to the window.
"Who are you?" he asked, yet the moment he saw Jeff not too far from him he realized he was being rescued. Kane gave the signal to Jeff who waved a white flag in the air; a griffin came down and snatched the old man from the window… now… the other part of the plan. Kane had a leather pouch on him and gently took it off. The mice warriors scurried out and stood at attention.
"Yes, your highness?" they asked.
"These guys got some heavy firepower, I want you gentlemice to find a way to… sabotage their weaponry, are you able?" he asked.
"With a swing of a blade, I assure you. I can do anything sire!" Reepicheep announced proudly.
Kane smiled as he gave them the tools from the subway station. "Come back inside and I will bring you to the camp, I will await for you as well" Kane whispered.
The mice went back into the pouch as Kane looked about the room, there was weapons as well as armor that could be used. He loaded up and took off into the night sky, the griffin landed not too far afterwards, landing behind enemy lines, Kane gave the orders. "How will we get close enough?" Reepicheep asked.
"Leave that to me" Kane wore the army outfit of the King's army; he could pass as one of them for the time being. Ordering the griffin to hide, Kane entered the base and got the mice to the large launchers and spears throwers. The mice worked feverishly throughout the night until done. Kane took hold of the mice and got back to the griffin before the sun rose, they returned to camp earlier that day. Tried from the night, Kane took to a tomb to catch some sleep. Not knowing evil was afoot!
Meanwhile.
Matt was sharpening his blade as a dark elf approached him. "Things are taking their time, are they not prince?" he asked.
"What? Oh hey, look. I don't know about you. But I certainly don't belong here, so I can't really say for certain"
"Ah yes, you want to go back to your own world. It can be arranged, we just need some help," The dark dwarf explained. Curious, Matt followed him down to the tomb with the cracked table. He grew nervous when a snarl was heard not far from him, shrouded in a cloak it spoke aloud.
"I can go for 100 years without food or water and never die, I can sit in the freezing cold and never freeze, I can drink rivers and lakes dry and never burst… SHOW ME YOUR ENEMY!" the stranger turned out to be a werewolf. Another creature emerged, a hag looking woman that resembled a bird or something. Matt pulled his sword in worry.
"Who the hell are you?" he demanded.
"We can promise you a victory, and a quick passage home… back to your world, back to where you and your friends belong," the hag said in a low, gruff tone.
"How do you plan on doing that?" Matt asked.
The werewolf began to draw a circle around Matt as the Hag chanted in an odd tongue, the dark dwarf pulled out a scepter that he kept hidden in leather wrapping. When the chant finished, the dwarf plunged the scepter into the ground; the pathway in which Matt came was soon covered in ice… a woman was trapped within it! "What the hell is this?" Matt asked, yet found himself enchanted by the woman of the ice.
"I can win this war for you, but all I need from you… is a drop of Adam's blood" she said.
"I don't know anyone named Adam" Matt muttered. The dwarf on the other hand took his hand and pricked the fingertip of Matt's hand! He tried to fight it… yet… found himself unable to resist reaching out for the woman. Her hand came through the ice, yet she was quick to retract it the moment Taker came running in with Shane and Jeff. They fought off the dwarf; Taker killed the werewolf as Shane stabbed the hag.
Matt was still reaching out to the white witch until Taker shoved him from the enchanted circle. "So the white b#h returns!" Taker hissed as he pulled his sword. He was ready to do battle just as Matt broke free from his trance. Yet, Taker was soon drawn into it.
"Come on, you can free me… You want to free me!" she said.
Taker dropped his sword and reached out for the woman's hand. However the white witch screamed as a sword plunged through the ice. The wall gave way, Kane stood behind it as he withdrew his sword. "What the hell does a king have to do to get some damn sleep around here!" he growled angrily. He then turned to the four men in the room. "Next time, if this happens. I won't be here to save your asses" he growled as Kane stormed away.
Taker looked confused as hell. "What just happened?"
"You nearly bought back the white b#h" explained Jeff. "Come on, let's see what the next plan is"
