77 Escape 3: Soaring High

Jareth now had two soldiers to fight, making it easy for him, they both attacked at once with their swords, he jumped up into the air and flipped forward, so he was now facing their backs.

He took this opportunity to attack one of the soldiers from behind, kicking his head with his leg and elbowed the second soldier in his face as soon as he turned to face him. He pushed the second soldier face down, lifted his knee just at the same time and hit him hard on the stomach.

The first man removed his bow and took an arrow from his quilt, he was fast but not as fast as Jareth. Before he strung his arrow to the bow, Jareth turned just in time and flung the second man at him.

In a matter of minutes, he had knocked the two of them to the ground. He quickly picked up the bow the second soldier had, that had fallen off during their fight and wore it across his shoulder.

"Astrid, take my cub and hop on with Jareth. I would fly us out of here."
