Ferences emerged from his hiding place. Rummaging in the empty kitchen, he found a bag and placed the chicken inside. “You better stay silent, or else.” He pointed at the bag threateningly. The two set off following the cooks

The cooks eventually ducked into a room full of dragons, presumably the galley

The cooks eventually left the kitchen carrying something

He must live

Everyone knows named NPCs have a 15% greater chance of survival, unless it’s in the Hunger Games

Ferences swore and began to run. He took Fred from the bag and threw it backwards at the guard, fleeing with Fred perched on his shoulder.

There are several dragons chasing you. They are faster than you. By a significant margin.

He dashed around a corner, throwing items from his cloak at the pursuing guards and diving into a human sized nook

Please let there be a human sized nook

Ferences gasped. “A friend!” He reached into his cloak and offered the rat some food he had taken from the kitchen. “I’m calling you Edward. Hello Edward,” He reached out and pet the rat on the head

Fred pecked him on the nose. “Woah woah woah,” Ferences held both of them apart. “We’re all friends here. We have bigger problems to worry about too: if they catch us they’ll kill you two and throw me back in prison. We need to work together.” He eyed the two.

Ferences leaped onto Edward’s back, Fred still riding on his shoulder. The trio shot out of the nook, racing up the broom with Ferences screaming.
