Escaping the Capital

"Go, go, go!" shouted Alton as they sprinted towards their rendezvous point with Arrie and Wolf, slowed by their heavy packs.

Wolf, who stood waiting with Arrie and the horses they'd purchased, looked at the General with concern as he reached them.

"Sir?" he asked the man.

"We've got to get out of here, Wolf! The Emperor was injured but not killed. They'll be on our tails. The whole city will be shut down soon if it's not already."

"Oh shit!" yelled Wolf.

He quickly helped Arrie tie her pack to her horse and shoved her up onto its back, dropping their horses in behind Delphi and Alton, who would take the lead on their escape from the capital. Niko brought up the rear, constantly checking behind them for signs of pursuit.
