Chapter 14

Rebels

Six weeks.

That was how long Enrick had been looking for Aroron, and so far, he hadn't found so much as a trace of him. No one he'd spoken to had ever seen someone matching his description. With a feeling that he was betraying his friend, Enrick decided it was time they headed back to the Dark Castle. So far, their trip had been unfruitful and if they were gone much longer, the snow between the Dark Castle and the Dubh-Woods would be impossible to pass.

As it was, they would have to pass through miles and miles of snowy weather to even get back to the Dubh-Woods.

"You can always count on snow in Glunot to freeze your bones solid!" Enrick said, shaking his arms to warm them. "Even in the summer time it's as cold as Frosty Peak here. Isn't that right?" He asked, glancing towards the guard at his side. The guard only grunted as he scanned the forest around them.

Enrick decided to do the same.

Here they were, on the wooded path between Glunot and the Dubh-Woods. In another hour and a half, they would pass through the dark trees and cross the Karlien border.

The air itself seemed to become tense, as they continued to look around. Something was going on, but Enrick was still unsure what it was. As far as he could see, there wasn't anyone around. Yet, Enrick felt like he was being watched. Glunot was a frozen kingdom. No one should be watching.

There was a snap of a branch and a guard behind him yelled, "Watch out!" But the warning came too late for Enrick.

Prince Enrick glanced to his left, just in time to see a man come hurtling towards him. Jumping off the overhanging bank above the road. He slammed into Enrick and threw him from the saddle and they both went flying to the ground.

Enrick hit the ground hard, slamming his shoulder into a rock, pinned under the weight of the spry man. While this was happening, he could hear the cries of more men attacking them. Metal hitting metal rang out, as the guards quickly drew their swords.

None of the guards were able to reach Enrick, he was on his own.

"We will kill you, Munay, and all his followers!" He spat in Enrick's face, as he wrapped his hands around his neck and started to tighten. They were Rebels! Enrick should have known. The man's eyes were wild with madness.

"I don't think so," Enrick hissed, with what little breath he had left. Enrick quickly pulled out his knife and shoved it into his attacker's side. Gasping for breath, the second he was free. He rolled over and away from the mad man, his head spinning. If he'd held Enrick a second longer, he would have blacked out.

Enrick quickly scrambled to his feet, drew his sword and ran towards the fighting. He was almost to them, when one of the guards turned towards him.

"Get down!" The guard yelled, lunging towards Enrick. The guard slammed into Enrick throwing them both down.
