Torin walked through the gates with Rose on his shoulder. He could scarcely believe his eyes. He was sure they would be beheaded in the town square for sure. They were only petty thieves, but somehow, he had listened to Grim and had ended up stuck in the castle dungeons for over two weeks with almost no food or water. He had thought they would die there.
Grim had told him his informant had found a secret path into the castle and that they could sneak in and steal as much as they could, and no one would even notice. Torin had thought the idea was exceedingly untrue. He didn't believe it for one bit. However, Grim wouldn't let it go, and he had decided to humor him just so he could shut Grim down when he saw there was no secret path. But when they got to the supposed location of the secret path, guards appeared from every corner, and they were arrested.
