Madya Wingfeather: Adventurer Pt. 20

Okay I'm going to try and write more frequently, instead of randomly posting a part.

Once Madya and Yora had reached the shore, they started a fire.

They were very cold, being wet, and having just swam through ice-cold water for Maker knows how long.

Yora collected dry sticks while Madya set fire to some dead leaves. Once they had a healthy, large fire going, they set to finding food.

Yora dashed into the woods, and came back minutes later with a fazzle dove in her mouth. She dropped it at Madya's feet, then ran back in, and caught another one.

Madya cleaned the birds, and then roasted them.

As they ate, Madya told Yora what their plans would be for the next day.

"We'll have to find out where we are, though I'm guessing we're somewhere in Anniera," Madya said. "Hopefully we are, because I know the Annieran woods like the back of my hand."

Yora layed her head on her paws as she listened intenfully.

"And if we're not in Anniera, but somewhere else, like the Hollows, then we'll have to find a town."

Yora yapped her agreement.

"Let's get some sleep, we'll need to be fully rested for the morning." Madya said, laying on the ground.

Yora yawned, and curled up beside Madya, and they fell asleep.

"Your Majesty!"

Nia looked up from the maps that she was studying, and looked at the guard. "Yes?"

The guard looked as if he had ran all the way from Skree. "We just got a report that a couple of prisoners escaped from the Fangs! And that one of them killed one of the Stonekeepers!"

Leeli, Arundelle, and Sara, who were helping Nia, gasped.

Nia looked equally surprised. "Do we know who they are?"

The guard shook his head. "All we know is that one of them had help from a wolf."

The women all looked confused.

The doors to the room, the common room, respectively, burst open, and Kalmar and Galya ran inside.

"Did you hear-oh." Kal said, spotting the guard.

Nia nodded her head. "Where's Artham?"

"He's still flying around, scouting and watching the Fangs for any movements." Kal replied.

Arundelle sighed.

Thorn ran into the room, behind Kal. "A new report came in that one of the prisoners made it to the shore!"

Kal turned to him. "Wait, really?"

"Yeah! The soldiers are searching for them right now."

"Do they know who it is?" Sara asked.

Thorn frowned and shook his head. "No, sadly."

Leeli looked at her. "I'm sure he's okay."

Sara sighed and nodded her head.

Nia looked at Kalmar. "Kal, I think it's time for us to prepare for a battle."

Kal looked at his mother. They shared a look, then he nodded his head, and ran out of there, Galya at his heels.

Nia turned to her daughters and sister-in-law. "We're about to go to war."
