Dawn of the Valiant (The Valerious Chronicles: Book One)

by Julian Saheed

The table snapped in half as Estallion flew on it with an audible crunch. The remaining guards fanned out, not willing to let any of the Scorpions into the prison. Estallion rolled off the broken wood and sprang into the air, kicking the nearest guard in the chest. A great roar filled the room as the Scorpions tumbled into the line of guards flailing wildly with fists, chairs and broken bits of table. Once the guards had been taken care of, Estallion crashed into the door to the prison, sending it open with a slam. The captives lying in the many cells jumped up with a fright and let out relieved sighs when they saw Estallion flying through the doorway.

  "Over here, Estallion," came a call.

  Estallion shook his head to get his bearings then spotted Borrin standing at the end of the room with his hands griping the cold iron bars of his cell. Three of the free Scorpions moved through the prison opening the holding cells and soon Estallion was moving out of the fort's second prison with Borrin by his side and a group of hard trained Scorpions at his back.
