You turn to your companions. "We need to be ready. They want me, and only me. I am not giving them a chance to take me, or to trick my father. Our lessons and formation prepared us for such an event like this one. Will you help me?"
"Yes", your companions say.
You help them to get in position closest to the door.
"As soon as they open the doors, go for their throat, eyes, or ears. Use your nails, open hands, or fists to bring them pain. We need to grab a weapon or two. Make sure everyone has something to defend themselves with. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Iviaena", your companions say.
"Do not be frightened - we will make it."
You hear footsteps walking close to the door. A dim light appears below the door - slowly it brightens. You feel the door moving and the sound of the key. You brace yourself as the door opens quickly. You dash out with Atruii knocking one of the men down. His lantern falls and breaks, setting the wall on fire. The man tries to get up, but Atruii grabs a part of the broken lantern, hitting him on the side of the head. Because of the fire, the other man runs away, turning left down a hall. You look to Atruii and say, "Take his weapons." Your other companions join you.
"Run past the hall on the left, there is no one there. Atruii and I will block the left hallway."
You run towards the left hall, but are met with a sharp object that pierces you below your heart. The force of the blow, pushes to the wall. You grab on to the object sticking from you - you have no chance of figuring out what hit you. Dizziness begins to set in. Looking down to your right, Atruii lies still on the ground in a pool of blood. You lose your breath, and slowly pass out.
You are dead...
