Escape from Underground

***

The time has come.

The night has come, and the party has already started. We managed to sneak from the party and let the people, also known as helpers, to serve the food to the relatives of this family we have worked disguised as slaves for the following days.

Fiona with I are going to our room, from there we will write another message on the parchment who will be sent to the units of cavalry who are positioned close to the house they have to attack. As we entered the room, Fiona takes a parchment from the table and with the goose feather in a small container with ink. She brought it here last time hen write a message to request assistance from the King Julius.

"Attack when we will give the signal. A blue flare coming out in the sky." says Fiona out loud as she writes on the parchment. And she takes a look at me. "What spells are able to throw a blue flare?"

"It is a Flare spell." I say to Fiona. "I read in the magic book is a simple spell."

"It is able to be seen from far distances?."

"Yes." I say to Fiona.

"Great." she says after she finishes writing the message. "Now summon your bird."

I take my wand hidden under my clothes, aimed at an empty space and say with a loud voice the spell "Vulture". A bird like eagle flies out of my wand, and without any request or something, he snatches the message written on the parchment, and flies out of here, from the window this room had.

"He knows what is doing?" asks Fiona a bit worried.

"I think so." I say feeling confused. "It's the first time he has done this."

And in a few seconds, the bird comes out, and lands on the table. He looks at us and says.

"I have delivered the message to the nearest strongest knight, Master."

"Very good, my friend." I say to the bird, who then flies back into my wand.

"We have to move. Our next objective is to break the prisoners." say Fiona taking out her huge sword who was hidden under a broken furniture piece. "We will probably cause some ruckus so you better be prepared for anything and careful."

I go to a near table, and from there I take the dagger I use the battle skill I have acquired a year ago. With the knife equipped in it, I have an advantage at fighting melee because this battle skill is able to make me almost invincible, but it comes with a mana cost which will mostly throw me into a deep sleep. But this will be used as a last solution, in case things would escalate to worse.

We leave the room, and we were about to go to the underground prison cells, but we got stopped by someone. And that someone is a person acting as a guard and having a spear tied on his back. Fiona did not even think much of this, she took the huge sword of her, and cut the person in half. The person falls on the floor, his half body gets stabbed with the spear while the other is at two feet from the pierced part of the body.

"You didn't give him a chance." I say to Fiona.

"Whatever. We have to move quickly." she says to me, and we move from the hallway.

We walk a few steps to the nearest door that leads to the basement, we go a few steps down, and as we reached the door to the basement. We saw there the Butcher, who was about to enter the basement. Both of us did not gave the man a chance, and we attacked him. I threw the spell "Dancin" to him. He dances for a few seconds, then Fiona decapitates him with her huge sword.

"That was easy." I say to Fiona looking at the poor man body decapitated.

Fiona did not respond to this.

We enter the basement prison cells. There we notice the lamp was not turned on, and for this, I take a wand and I throw a small fire spell at the lamp, lighting the place. Now the flare was bigger than the last time I was there. This light helped us to see the surroundings much more better.

In this room there are four cells. All with at least five prisoners, poor people, which is a total of twenty people who were about to be turned into food. Fiona goes to a cell, where there are a few young men's, scared to death and mutilated.

"Please. Get us out of here!" says one of them with a missing eye.

"Don't worry. We've got this." respond Fiona, and she breaks the cells with her sword handle. "We will help all of you people get out of here."

"Thank you!" says a lady from the other cell, naked and with bruises all around her body.

"Judah." says Mircea from the other cell.

I go at that cell, and I opened with a wand spell, "T.N.T." it blew out the door and a fence. But thankfully, nobody was injured because this was a small explosion. A small one that can be heard from the up floors.

"Thank Gods!" says a person from the Mircea's cell.

"Where is Timmy?" I ask Mircea after I looked around for Timmy.

"He is gone." says Mircea almost crying. "He pinned me down and took him, together with other people."

"It is probably too late." say Fiona to me to make me feel worse that we did not start this attack sooner. "I heard a few screaming of humans coming from the kitchen a few clocks ago."

"Damn it!" yells Mircea hitting the ground with his fists. "It's my fault! All my fault!"

"Don't worry, friend. We will avenge, Timmy. And we will definitely kill every criminal from this place."

"Judah!" says Fiona to me after she opened the last cell. "Go outside, climb the rooftop and launch the signal. Remember, we need a blue flare."

"Yes." I say to Fiona, and I head outside.

"I am coming with you." says Mircea, but Fiona stops him.

"Don't! It is too dangerous. We stay here, and wait until the attack of the knights will start."

"Mircea..." I say to him. "I got this."

And I leave the basement, letting Fiona handle all of the people from here who were imprisoned against their will.
