The horde

"how many gates does this thing have ?" jonas asks shoulders sagging

"we've passed by four gates already" garcia hisses

"why couldn't we have gone through any of those four?" levi turns to malka

"the first gate was for merchants, the second gate was for slaves,the third gate was for citizens" malka says matter of factly

"oh " jonas says

"but if we go in through the last gates..." garcia curses and stops walking

"if we went through the first four, we would have been arrested" malka says

"we..."

"huh?"

"you said we? Are you not a citizen?" devon asks

"i...i am " malka stutters

"let her be " jonas says

"there's the last gate " levi drawls and started to walk forward

"levi!!!" garcia hisses and pulls his ears

"Ouch"

Jonas chuckles softly and malka giggles

"sis have you ever heard of moderation" levi says rubbing his ears

"were you just going to walk in??" garcia says with her hands on her hips

"well, yeah"

"are you joking with me?" garcia narrows her eyes

"nope " levi says and takes a step back from his sister

"uh, guys "

"what?"

"over there?"

Everyone turns to look at what had alerted jonas,about twenty feet away,a horde of barbarians, about a hundred are running towards the walls

"well, can i suggest something?" jonas asks

"what?" devon turns to look at jonas

"RUN!!!"

They all turn and start to run to the gates

Devon pants as he runs, the others are ahead of him and he can't seem to catch up, the guards on top of the wall seem to realize what is happening and start to lower the gates, there is a crowd of people clawing at each trying to get into dengard before the gates close, garcia and jonas are nowhere to be found, probably in that crowd, levi slides underneath the gates as they close, devon is still caught in the crowd

he thinks as he turns and starts to push his way through the crowd, finally out he inhales fresh air panting and sweating, he readies his longsword and drops into a fighting stance

few people follow his example, breaking away from the crowd to wait for the incoming horde...
