Snippet #3852

Alex felt his heart sink at Lucas' words. Still alive? Taking a quick look at the burning throne room, he looked back towards Lucas scaling down the wall. Sighing, he pulled out two daggers and stuck them into the wall, beginning the tedious process of climbing down. He wished he'd practiced more often, but at the time he could, he'd fallen and was afraid of heights since. He'd long since gotten over it, but never had the chance to do it again.

Letting himself drop to the ground, he reached up and pulled the two daggers out before putting them away. Taking a quick look around to see no guards around, he picked a direction with less lighting to be spotted, and started moving.
