Last hours of hiding - Part 1

After we finished the making of breakfast for these nobles half-human-half-demons, Fiona and I are leaving the kitchen, and go outside the house, where we have to clean the garden because of tonight's party this family is going to hold. We got charged only to clean the garden with brooms made by wooden sticks, to help at the installing of torches, assemble the fireplace and tables. And for decorations, the Big Father told us not to do anything, he put other people to deal with this thing.

We managed to clean a big portion of the garden with the brooms. While I was cleaning, I took a quick break and looked at the people who got the order to assemble the decorations for tonight party dinner. I saw some creepy decorations there such as skeletons corpses, animal heads and some other ugly stuffs like bodies of dead people in decomposing state. I was about to vomit, but I know I have to hold this urge, and deal with it.

When we finished the task of cleaning the garden, we quickly walk to the next part of our objective, assembling the torches near the entrance, the tables and form a small circle somewhere in the middle. We saw the map one of the helpers handed to us to observe the way we have to arrange and put the torches.

We take the torches, and proceed to stab the ground with it. After we put the first torch who measures almost two meters, Fiona takes two stones, she approaches them and hit both of them, hard enough to produce spark. And by one single spark, in a few seconds, the torch has a good fire to last until tonight.

"Wow." I said. "How he light up so fast?"

"It is because of the parchment it is used to make torches have fire." responds Fiona holding the two rocks in both of her hands. "And these rocks, are helping me make sparks to have a fire much more efficient."

"Cool. Now let's move to the other one."

We proceed to assemble the torches for a few more moments. We put on function about twenty or more than that all over the garden to help have "light" on tonight's feast.

After this second task we've had, it is time to make the fireplace. Now, this was an easy task because a fireplace can be made even by a peasant toddler who never got outside his house. To do this, I have to grab wood, while Fiona is going to search for stones who can make a circle. The bigger amount of stones and wood collected the better.

It took us a while, but we came back, outside the house with a big amount of materials to make a fireplace to hold until in the morning. We go where a helper, a man from the next village who want to work for a small amount of gold coins, instructed us to go to assemble the fireplace for tonight's dinner party.

This assemblance took not even half of a clock. We let them there, and we are going to put the tables with chairs where they should be put. After we put at least four big tables, and somewhere of thirty chairs, it was time for us to go into the kitchen, and help on tonight's dinner.

Meanwhile, at a distance from two hundred meters from the big house where Thornosian family residents, a big pair of soldiers are positioned and prepared to engage at any given time. Next of a line of twelve soldiers, a knight, one of the ten strongest knights Kingdom of Romania have, is known by the name of Liviu, the elf of the forests of Kingdom of Romania. This warrior is probably the best person to do this job, especially when his small army unit is situated in the forests.

"Commander." says a soldier in an armour with a spear equipped on his back. "We've got reports that the other six armies are on their way to their designed positions."

"How much?" asks Liviu looking at the big building where Thornosian family resides. "How many soldiers does each unit have?"

"The reports state the number of every unit is about one hundred soldiers and a knight with title of "Strongest Knight of Kingdom of Romania", sir!" says the same soldier from earlier.

"Good. You can go back to your position." he says looking at the building. "Prepare for tonight attack."

The soldier who state the rapport to Liviu Elf Knight goes to his small unit, and waits for his moment when he has to engage in attack.

Liviu is looking at the house, and he sees there are a lot of people such as helpers or visitors going in and outside the big building. Liviu wonders "What are they doing there? Is that a party or something?". He looks at his soldiers, then back at the house. Eventually, Liviu decides to sit on a big stone who are under a big tree.
