When they left the prison the two bounded men were locked up and still unconscious. Brytta tossed the keys out the window and turned back to Liol saying; Cousin, it's time to go, and they hurried out of the cell block and thereafter up the stairs. A smoothly as they coul, with no suspicious guards they were shown out the door, by the tall guard they had met just about half an hour before.
As they found their horses, they rode out of the gate, catching the sight of a couple of guards drunk, and now sleeping against the stone wall.
Liol was glad, the worst part was over. The King's Hall was small and ugly from here, Liol thought. It really looked like a prison.

For several hours they rode on, until the at last met Adwulf, Heldor and Rochil.They had found a small camp and settled down there with their horses. Liol thought it was a cosy place, and didn't mind at all resting there for a while before they rode, and left Edoras behind.
"Oh, I am starting to get tired," Liol whined. The others stirred at her. "Did I say that out loud?" she asked and grew red. Gosh, she thought. Her two cousins, Rochil and Adwulf gave a laugh, turning to her giving her are-you? look. Liol didn't want to show she was weak or anything like that. She was among men only, and it was hard in a way. Liol cast a short glance towards the boys, before she pulled herself together. She clasped her horse on the side with her hand. "Shall we not ride a little faster?" she asked, and sprinted forwards. The others followed.
