Freedom.

One night Morgana whispered a spell and her shackles unlocked. I stared at her in shock, what was she doing? "We are escaping." she whispered in my ear. "I won't let you suffer any more. I promise."

I looked towards the door, where there was doubt t be some of the Sarrum's men, who will attack us. I looked back at Morgana, she shook her head. "Not through the door. Up." she said, nodding towards the hatch. I looked back at her quizzically. I could get up there easily. But Morgana? How would she get up there? "I'll have to ride on your back Aithusa." she said. "You don't mind?" I shook my head, if it meant saving her then I would do whatever I could.

She cast another spell and the hatch's lid was blasted off. It clattered to the floor outside of the pit. I lowered my back for Morgana to climb up and then started to climb up the inside of the pit. I looked back at her and she smiled, she looked slightly frightened. I rubbed my head against her hand and climbed up to the top of the pit.

We reached the top of the pit. She leapt off my back and a bunch of the Sarrum's men came towards us. Morgana blasted one backwards using a spell, making him drop his sword. She summoned the sword towards her and then began fighting the men off. I got in front of her and she tried to get me to move but I refused I then belched out a long stream of flames at the men. I engulfed them in flames and I and Morgana ran.

We ran out of the tower and hid in the forest. We could see the flames engulfing the tower and the Sarrum and his surviving men running from the burning tower. We could see the Sarrum looking around the clearing or us and then he too gave up and headed in the direction away from the tower. Morgana looked at me. "You did it Aithusa. You breathed fire!" she whispered happily.

Morgana led me in the direction of a place called Ismere. She said we couldn't return to the fortress we had stayed in once before as the Sarrum knew that area and he would most probably expect us to return there. She said she had been meaning to go there for a long time so that could find something called the Diamair. So we began our journey towards Ismere.
