The Rescue
After
making
the promise
to Zariel,
Grognard
and the
newly
created
heucuva
Borand
began
planning
the rescue
of Ilymar
from
the dark
wizard
Dalamar.
The night
was cold,
the wind
was feirce
and the
rain would
have felt
like
rocks
pelting
them from
the skys,
had they
been
living
creatures.
Grognard
leads
them
to the
enterance
of Dalamars
laboratory,
not protected
against
the members
of the
Dragons
Hoard,
now former
members.
Opening
the doors
to the
laboratory,
one of
Dalamars
scribes
greets
Grognard,
then
looks
to Borand
assumeing
he is
just
another
of Dalamars
experiments.
They
take the
stairs
up to
where
Grognard
usually
meets
with Dalamar,
so they
would
not arise
suspision
among
the scribes
which
inhabit
the lower
floors.
As they
climb
the stairway,
Grognard
pushes
against
a part
of the
wall,
the wall
opens
to reveal
a passageway,
leading
downward
into
darkness.
The passageway
leads
to the
dungeon,
several
cells
line
the walls
Borand
rushes
over
to the
cell
which
holds
Ilymar,
using
his great
strength
he rips
the cell
bars from
the thick
stone
foundation.
Borand
removes
his armor
and cloak
tossing
them to
the floor,
Grognard
draws
his sword,
thrusting
it through
Borands
pelvic
bone
and bringing
it up
cleaving
Borand
in half,
