Freeing Johnathan of Collins
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 41561
|
Sandra felt that she could hardly leave someone in such distress. Of
course, deciding that she should rescue Johnathan and actually doing so
were two very different things. Sandra could only think of one possible
way of doing so, and it was sure to be a painful one for the Dragonslayer.
When the boulder had reached the lowest point on its trajectory, she leapt and was able to grab hold of Johnathan's ankles. He grunted with pain as his joints were stretched by the sudden extra weight. Sandra wormed her way up his legs, until she was able to grab hold of the rock itself. She manoeuvred herself into a position from which she hoped she could use her dagger to pry the ends of the chains free from the rock. Since Johnathan would probably be too weak to hold on once the chains were no longer supporting him, she would have to time this carefully. Even falling when the boulder was at its lowest point would be dangerous, but to do so when it was at its highest would certainly result in broken bones and might easily be fatal. She managed to pry the chain ends free from the rock, Johnathan fell and she jumped.
