Chapter I - Otremer - II/11

II/11

Anis was sitting under an ashed beam in the dusk. Alaid's  ruins encircled him. Suddenly he heared horse pounding. He jumped into cover and pulled his hood onto his head. A smaller band of nord horseman appeared in front of the ruined gatehouse.
- Holy shit! What happened here? - asked one of them.
- They are so frightend they burnt themselves. Hahaha!
- Bakris go back to the Huscarls and report them that the city was burnt down and we begin to look around.
- Yes! - Bakris turned back and begun to ride.
- Spread out. Let's check the ruins and the horizon. Meet here within an hour...

Anis hided in a half burnt down house. When the night fell he got out of his cover and sneaked on the streets to reach the southern gate. When he reached the gaet he saw that the horde was to arrive to Alaid. More and more flags and soldiers appeared on the horizon. Some of the rear forces reached the city and begun to make thir camps. Anis could sneak out the city under the dark night.

He passed the southern gate and made his way towards the sand dunes. He jumped behind the first sand hill but unfortunatelly he driven up a nord soldier trying to pee. Anis acted first. He draw his dagger and tossed it into the surprised nord's neck. He fell down without making a single noise. - Huhh, Fortuna favors me! - Anis pulse was pumping heavily. He nearly falsed himself. He fast buried the dead body into the sand. He could win a few hours with this. He knew that he must go with haste before someone discovers the dead soldier.


As he reached the king's main road he saw that nord guards standing on it. He decided to hit the road a bit later when the nords cannot see him. Till he have travelled on the snad dunes next to the road to stay in cover.
