A Rescue Party
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 46193
|
"Your Highness," repeats the tallest of the green men, whom you take to be
their leader. "I am Gur Rathka, an ally of your father, the Jed of
Iskandr. He recieved your message, but could not risk sending his own men
to this rendezvous. He asked that I meet you here as soon as you effected
your escape, and then escort you to where his flyers are waiting." You are rather bemused by these recent developments, but you have enough presence of mind to thank your rescuers. Gur Rathka leads you deeper into the ravine, where the green men have tethered their mounts. The huge, mulit-legged beasts hardly seem domesticated at all, and you look upon the prospect of riding them rather dubiously. However, it will be far better than proceeding on foot. Just then, a green man comes running up, clearly concerned. "The guard has rasied the alarm in the city!" he shouts. "Even now the Xodarians are making ready to send out airships and mounted troops alike." Gur Rathka accepts this news calmly, then abruptly mounts his animal, hauling you up to sit before him. "We must ride!" he orders. "If we can reach the Sovath Mountains before their flyers overtake us we will be safe, but we must cross a great deal of open ground to reach them!" The others leap to the backs of their mounts, and soon the entire party is thundering across the desert toward a distant range of mountains, visible as little more than a shadow on the horizon.
