Finally, the horse unbelievably made it to the platform and when it was nearly a foot away, Solviss leaped off the saddle like a frog and landed on the platform. He quickly equipped another dagger and slit the ropes binding Winter and Tithae. "Quick!" Solviss ordered. "Get on the horse and ride out of here!" After he noticed the guards coming closer, he yelled, "Go!"
Tithae slipped his head out of the noose and went over to help Winter since she was barely mobile due to the dagger in his lower leg.
Winter slipped the noose off she was standing with her uninjured leg supporting most of her body weight. She was shaking whem Tithae reached her.
