Unbeknownst to the captives, a hummingbird named Speedwing had been watching them since their capture. She now watched the guards, who were drinking ale, which had been delivered to them by Rakefur. After the fourth round of ale, the two weasels began to get sluggish. “I’ll just close one eye, and take a half nap. Then, I’ll open that eye and close the other so it makes a whole nap,” the dim-witted Screwtail thought to himself as he sat down next to the door. Grisclaw too, soon fell asleep, aided by the ale. Speedwing flew down and hovered near the window of the cell. “Hurry,” she said, “before they wake up! How can I help?” Shyla was startled by the soft, high-pitched voice, but she soon saw that the bird truly wanted to, and probably could, help them escape. And in Mika’s mind, anything besides pounding her chain with a rock would be worth a try. Shyla’s quick mind had already created a plan, maybe not a foolproof one, but it was still a plan. “What are you willing to risk?” she asked the bird. “Anything,”came the reply, “for a good meal.”
“Good. Do you think that with your long beak you could reach into the guards pocket and grab the keys?”
“I think so.”
“Good.”
“Am I guaranteed a good meal?” Speedwing added quickly.
“Sure. If you can get Mika and me back to the abbey, we will have a banquet in you honor,” Shyla said absentmindedly, pacing again. “But even if we get out of our chains, then how do we get past the guards and out of the fort?”
