Castle Wall Escape

Description

The Guard Captain was furious. He had been chasing this woman for months. She'd been stirring up trouble with the nobles, stealing their possessions, freeing their slaves, and vandalizing their homes. With every failure to apprehend her, the nobles would complain to the King, and in turn - the King would call on the Guard Captain and complain to him. Their visits primarily consisted of the King yelling at him for not doing his job and that he should have him replaced. By now, the Captain was sick of it. All of it led back to the sneaky woman that no one seemed to know anything about.

One day, he caught her in the act: stealing from another noble. The Guard Captain hauled off after her, but her speed was peerless. It didn't help that he was required to wear his clunky armor. Finally, the chase came to a halt upon the top of one of the castle walls. He laughed and taunted her, realizing that his foe was now cornered. He poised for a takedown, but at the last moment, she turned and leapt from the wall. There was nothing he could do. He watched, enraged by what he was seeing. She managed to snatch a ledge on the other end of the gap, nothing but a deathly fall between the stone walls. She looked back, panting slightly and began to climb.
"I'll find you! Wherever you go, whatever you do! I'll never stop hunting you! You hear me?!" He bellowed across the gap helplessly. She remained silent, even after reaching the top of her climb. She gave him one last silent gaze, and then she vanished from view.
