Scorch ran down the stairs desperately, got to the throne room, and realised he's it's full of Dark Empire soldiers. He hid behind the corner, chanted invisibility spell and slowly began to move toward the crowd, listening to what soldiers and officers say...
"What is this Draven doing? Someone sure had to anger him!" -
"Propably the three that escaped the castle when he entered along with this martial artist and dealt with the officer fooled by some soldier..."
"I guess we should all get out of here before he destroys it completely. There is no resistance, no one can take this fortress from us, why not move along-"
"Shut up."
Scorch took cover behind the throne, looking at the doors. Draven devastated them as he entered. Propably he would be able to get away from this cursed place. On the other hand, he might capture attention of Draven or the soldiers, and put himself into trouble. It would be best to find Iduran, Cheetah and Duilin without being detected...
Wizard moved out from the vicinity of throne.
"Hey! Something's behind!" - one soldier patrolling the area (with the other one close) said. They both turned.
"Fool, there's no one here!"
"I heard footsteps!"
Not thinking too much, Scorch sneaked to the back of the soldier, put his blade before his throat and done a cut. His partner was terrified as he noticed soldier falling on the floor with bleeding throat and wizard with lightning-enchanted blade appearing out of nowhere.
"You too." - said Scorch, piering second soldier with the scimitar.
Several feet further, a larger group of soldiers turned at him.
"Officer! That's one of the escapers!"
As usually, to enter battle in good style, Scorch manifested few fast cuts with his blade in the air as soldiers were running at him.
"DRAVEN!" - he screamed, to make sure he is heard up the stairs. - "COME HERE RIGHT NOW, WHEN YOUR BELOVED ARMY NEEDS YOU!"
