Stay Strong

In the port city of Dymhaven, Sienna Blade opened the doors of a disused coach house as a bell chimed midnight. The coach house lay just across the street from the keep in which Isaac was being held.

‘Be careful,’ said Amos as Sienna emerged from the double doors.

Sienna gave Amos a nod and checked that the coast was clear before she approached the dark wall of the keep. Along the base of the wall were a series of barred windows leading to the cells that sat just below street level. Keeping an eye out for the guards, Sienna bent down to the first window and whispered through the bars.

‘Isaac! Are you there?’

There was no answer from the first cell and only a confused groan from the second, but as Sienna moved to the next she saw two hands grasping at the bars.

‘Sienna,’ said a desperate voice. ‘Is that you?’

Rushing to the cell, Sienna crouched down.

‘It’s me,’ she said as she caught a glimpse of Isaac’s pale and dirty face.

‘You have to get me out,’ said Isaac, his green eyes glinting with gold. ‘I can’t take much more of this.’

‘Have they hurt you?’ asked Sienna.

‘Not physically,’ said Isaac. ‘But Divine Servant Arden keeps testing my power with this foul white light. It looks pure but it burns into your mind like acid.’

‘Can’t you stop him?’

‘I’ve tried,’ said Isaac. ‘But even a hint of magic and these bracelets burn like hell.’

From back at the coach house Sienna heard a whistle, a warning that a patrol was returning to this side of the keep.

‘We’re going to get you out,’ Sienna told Isaac. ‘Two days from now at midnight. Be ready to climb out.’

Isaac’s sigh of relief was almost like a sob.

‘Psst!’

Sienna heard the urgent hiss from Amos and she knew it was time to go.

‘Two days, Isaac,’ she said in a fierce whisper. ‘Stay strong.’
