Sorbithor started to roll. He just
threw himself in the general direction of the nearest wall, rolling as fast as he
could. The guards were scrambled, he saw, as they flurried to get weapons for
defending the keep. The large writhing mass of wings and scales flung itself
around the towers, sending large fragments of stone and wood onto the prisoners
below. On all fours, Sorbithor managed to crawl at a mincing gate into the nearby
tower, as he darted his eyes across the table tops for something to set him
free.one of the imperial guards ran in, before chucking some keys to him. “Get unlocked
and get out of here!” the guard shouted, and then chucking a small iron dagger
down beside him. Sorbithor slid the keys into the cuffs, unlocking the cold
metal from around his wrists. He cast the cuffs to the side, before picking up
the dagger. He began searching the table drawers in the broken tower for some
proper clothes and armour. He quickly found a tunic and chain-mail suit, pulling
o some leather pants too, and peering outside to look for an escape route. He didn’t
have any loyalty to the ones who captured him, and thus was set in leaving them
to their demise. But at the same time he didn’t hate them, as they had indeed
shown sympathy. He quickly darted outside, sneaking around the side of the
building and along to a section of wall that had been knocked over by the
dragon. He scaled the rubble, quickly using his lower body to push himself over
the barriers and using the rubble on the other side to get down. With a
breaking sprint, Sorbithor jogged past the littered bodies of dead soldiers
around him, towards the tree line, feeling no remorse for their entailed end.
