Caspian and Luke quickly and quietly slipped away from Master Tage's lab. Night had fallen by the time they retired. Master Tage had also showed them a small yacht. Two sails ensured a speedy getaway and a huge crossbow fitted in the bow of the ship ensured that it would it be useful against Gelon. The crossbow fired an arrow fitted with a coned firepowder barrel for a warhead. Before you fired, you lit a fuse connected to the war head and fired! The arrow would blow up whatever was near it. They had precious few of the arrows, only six, but since they didn't plan to have any naval battles on Arinok Lake, the lake Tage had his hut on, they weren't to worried. With the yacht the raced into the lake and up into the river. They then ripped up the river at breakneck speed. Caspian didn't want any soldier to have time to figure out who they were. They soon arrived at quick silver mine, up in the North Forest. Outside the mine, it looked completely normal.
"Where's the mine shaft?" Luke wondered aloud.
"HALT BEFORE I SEND AN ARROW THROUGH YER THROAT!" Caspian and Luke slowly raised their hands dismayed at being captured. A crossbow protruded through the nearby wall of foliage. Suddenly, they heard voices muttering and yelling as a thrashing sound broke through the trees. Caspian and Luke dared a glance in the direction of the voice. Caspian could detect nothing, but Luke with his eagle eyes saw that nearby, soldiers were thrashing through the forest cutting their way through he dense foliage. "In here," the voice hissed again much quieter. Caspian and Luke slipped through the foliage wall and found a huge man leveling an even bigger crossbow at them in front of a water fall. Well hidden by the tumbling waters that slipped away through a disguised channel to a pond some yards away, Luke spotted a cave hidden by the water.
"Methinks the rouge prince is here!" a voice called. The voice was right outside the foliage cover! A sword pierced the leafy cover and sliced a shimmering sliver in it! The soldiers had come for Caspian.
