Chapter 23 - Lektar Prison

On our way to the prison we bumped into two encounters, the first encounter we ran into was a

small loyalist tribe, we used this opportunity to test out or assault plans that we are going to use

for the prison, the only difference is that we didnt transform, and we took out all the loyalists in the area with no casualties and minor injuries, we also found out that most of the locals, were seperatists until the loyalists took control of the tribe, we then managed to recruit some more male Lizardmen and resupplied ourselves with healing potions, food and water. the second second encounter we found a prisoner carriage transport convoy, we positioned ourselves ahead of the convoy while the seperatists were following right behind in, we lead the assault taking out the coachmen first and then taking out the loyalist escorts, we once again managed to scr.a.p.e by with minor injuries, the prisoners we freed were seperatists getting transported to lektar prison, we then steal the carriages for ourselves so we dont have to walk the rest of the way there, our convoy makes a complete stop, i think to myself.

"I guess we are close by."

everyone gets off the carriages, and we all gather

around Sid and he asks.

"so this it, we are finally going to attack the prison, so any questions?"

one of the lizardman asks.

"how long shall we wait before we join the attack?"

Sid replies.

"you wont need to wait long, because once we rush in there as werewolves we won't be able to communicate with any of you."

all the Lizardmen nod and then Sid says

"everyone transform and attack."

all of us transformed, and started following Sid's lead, we started sprinting at full speed I look at the fifteen foot stone wall that surrounds a huge perimeter, as we approach closer to the walls, alarms start going off, there is yelling going.

"monsters are approaching!"

we arrive at the wall, and i notice that everybody is climbing the walls using their claws on their hands and feet, i then follow their lead and start climbing the wall, i hear a yell on top of the wall.

"these bastards are climbing the wall, get ready to repel them!"

we get close to the top and Sid and the rest manage to lunge up high in the air, I think to myself.

"how the hell did they do that?"

I don't even try to do that maneuver, because I feel like I might fail and fall down, so i keep climbing until i get to the top, and I see that they are already tearing apart the loyalists that were on the wall, we then split and some start running alongside the wall to get the others, while me and others jump down to the courtyard, I start clawing and biting through many of the loyalists

I think to myself.

"it seems like their scale hardening magic is not strong enough to withstand our physical attacks."

I look back and see two of ours ripping the front gate open so that the seperatists can come through, i then turn my attention to a huge building, and i think to myself.

"the prisoners might be in there."

I quickly make my way to the building taking out a few more loyalists with ease, I break my way through, and run down the long hallways, ripping off cell doors, freeing several seperatists, i think to myself.

"so far so good, now all we need to do is to find that commander."

"protect the commander!"

I open my arms wide and spin using my claws, as they dig in deep into their skin, leaving them with lacerations, one of loyalists manages to cleave my t.h.i.g.h, and I collapse, howling in pain, I slash behind me and get him across his face, another completely avoids me and runs out of the room, i think to myself.

"thank must have been the commander, but I cant chase him, my t.h.i.g.h is screwed."

and because the pain was really intense, I ended up turning back to human form, laying on the floor looking blood from my t.h.i.g.h, I think to myself.

"i guess this it, my death is finally coming."

after about thirty minutes of just laying on the floor in pain I look towards the door and see a loyalist standing there pointing his battleaxe at me and says.

"you bastards will pay, and it will start with your death."

he brings his axe over him and as he is swinging it down, another battleaxe slices down from his shoulder to his c.h.e.s.t, and the gets pushed foward, I take a quick sniff and recognised the scent, I then ask.

"Grosner is that you?"

"yeah its me Collin."

he kneels down next to me, lifts up my head and says.

"here drink this, it should numb the pain and stop the bleeding."

i chug it down quickly, I start coughing uncontrollably and then i ask with a groggy voice

"will it heal me?"

he answers with concern.

"no this will just help you be somewhat mobile, but we need to find a healing potion or find someone that can heal."

i reply with exhaustion.

"ok let's go then."

"so you did that."

i reply.

"yeah."

he chuckles nervously and says.

"im glad you guys are on our side, because what you all did here was the scariest thing ive ever witnessed."

I also nervously laugh alongside with him, and then i ask him.

"where are the others?"

he replies.

"they are chasing down the commander as we speak."

"what about the guys we freed?"

he replies.

"the same they grabbed whatever battleaxe they could find and started to chase him too."

we keep walking through the hallways and seeing all the mangled bodies of the loyalists that we left on the floor, we then make our way out of the building, through the courtyard, and right to the outside of the prison, Gresnor then points at the nearby forest and says.

"they all chased him into the forest."

we walked into the forest, im still using Gresnor as a crutch limping, after a while, I smell a scent i dont recognize and i whisper to Gresnor.

"careful I just caught a couple of scents i dont recognize."

he nods not saying a word, and then a deep booming voice shouts at us.

"you lizardman, and whatever that thing is halt!"
