Feldorn

The pain had lessened during the course of the last few days, but some of its remnants still persisted whenever he moved.

Feldorn knew that his body could be healed, but his soul would never be the same as it had been. Between the effects of the spell used on him to get the information and the shock he had from the unearthly creature which had used it, his soul would be forever scarred.

After most of his wounds had been healed by the healers and with the help of the minimal supplies they were allowed to treat the prisoners Feldorn was assigned to work in the deepest part of the stronghold, where the passageways were already carved into the deepest rock. Him and the other slaves who worked with him had the job to delve new passageways for the enemy to be able to accomodate new sleeping quarters for their ever growing numbers.

Work had been normal slave work the last two days, but today something was different. Rumors had been heard even by the slaves of a large fire burning in the dungeons where they were normally kept. Then came the news brought by a messenger that they were to sleep in the passageway they were digging. When the messenger left he also took nearly half of their guards with them.

All through the rest of the day Feldorn whispered with the other slaves about trying their luck and attacking their guards after they were told to sleep. He was determined to amend what he had done. And he was ready to sacrifice his life to do so. After a tireing day the guards told them to sleep, while some of them watched over them and the rest slept taking it in turns.

However Feldorn and the ones he had spoken with during the day did not sleep. They waited for Feldorn's signal. He gave the signal as a guard walked among the sleeping prisoners. Feldorn jumped up and in a swift movement grabbed hold of the orc's neck and broke it. Those who were told of the plan jumped up and attacked their guards with bare hands or rocks they had hidden during the days work. They quickly overcame the surprised guards. They took their weapons and armor and started on their way out from the depths of the tunnels under the stronghold killing any guards they found along the way.
