Chapter 26:

I watched as a massive shadow loomed over our city. A dragon unlike any I have ever seen before. I had to shoot him, what else could I do? I winged him, a glancing blow, but a disabling blow nonetheless. Though I brought the beast down, I doubt this is the last time we will ever cross paths.

Lawrence and Benni mounted their horses and raced back to Haile. They had lost Razzius’ trail in the dark, and their hope of finding him along with it. They needed to warn the people of Razzius’ actions, and see that Wurn receive a proper burial. As they approached the city, Lawrence could feel a sick feeling in his stomach; one of his closest friends was a murderer. Lawrence knew that justice needed to be done. Razzius needed to face some form of punishment. They entered the quiet, sleeping city. Benni raced for the castle and one of its watchtowers. At the top of these towers sat huge iron bells that were used to signal a warning throughout Haile. In years past, these bells had been used to signal the approach of Necromancer Ghast and other evils to the city. Benni ascended a staircase to the top of the tower and he rang the bell with all his might.

Ding! Dong! Ding! Dong!

The hollow sound of the bell echoed throughout Haile. Citizens began to pour from their homes, looking around with their torches lit. They were on full alert. Benni and Lawrence reunited at the bottom of the tower and rode frantically through the city. They shouted to the concerned citizens, “Wurn Grimm has been killed, murdered in cold blood, by his son, Razzius!”

They shouted louder and louder as they dashed through the city. They circled back toward the castle. Their horses slowed to a trot as they approached the gate. “Open the gate,” Benni commanded. “There has been a murder in the city of Haile. A member of the Knight Guard has slain his own father. We must see Mayor Flint at once!”

Finneas nodded and quickly opened the gate. The two proceeded to enter the castle grounds where Flint, Elsie, Maggie and Elizabeth stood, waiting for the news that they brought. Flint looked at them and asked, “What business do you bring at this hour that you would ring the warning bell to wake the entire town?”

“Razzius Grimm, a fellow Knight, has slain his father, Wurn Grimm, in cold blood, sire. We saw it for ourselves. He confided in us and told us how Wurn abused him, and how he took his father’s life. When we tried to restrain him to bring him in to face you, he refused us and drew his blade against us. He fled the city on horseback. We pursued him, but were unable to ascertain his whereabouts. We lost his trail in a cave just southeast of town, even though we searched it thoroughly. It was as though he vanished from this world completely.
