Furnace was just tying everything he was going to carry onto his back when armed men jumped them.
He panicked in confusion, none of them spoke to declare their intentions. Was this another fight?
[i]Just get out of here and don't even dare to look back or try to help me![/i]
A clear command.
Without blinking Furnace nodded and did as he was told.
He started running, unsure where or why. Looking up at the road before him he saw he had instinctively chosen the road to the other village.
That made sense, they were already going there so the others would probably go there too.
Furnace wondered if the others would run too, he assumed, but would not look back.
