144 Flight Through The Forest

Erom allowed himself a little smile. The first step of the plan was working. Bless Volkin and Kelley Stuttin! Now, the problem for these weird humans was simple. In as much as it was a problem that their captives were escaping, the forest fire was an even bigger problem that they had on their hands. And it took them some time to even sort out who would go after the fleeing captives and who would stay to fight the fire. Precious seconds. Time that Volkin, Kelley and the other Stuttins were using to get away; and time that Erom had used to also disappear and rush back up the trail that the fleeing party had taken. Part two of the plan was just kicking in. When those members of the Brotherhood who it finally came down to, to chase after the fleeing captives finally raced down to the valley where their steed were kept to grab mounts, they met a shower of arrows also raining down on them. Cries of pain rent the air as folks received pointy messages on their arms, shoulders and legs. Er
