Chapter 7 - City inside the city

Watching this city from afar, seeing the forges melting iron and making steel into sturdy weapons, and the torches that light up the city in a morning glow. Theo and Alisha walking towards the Factions gates seeing the banners on each side of the gate, It's a Outlined white knight with a spear in his left hand and a sword in the other. " a noble banner...Surprising" Theo says convincingly.

Two Guards wearing silver armor with a blue outlining and a cape on their right arm that touches the floor, with their swords on their hips .

One of the Guards puts up his hand quickly saying" Halt, before you enter the city please hand over your weapons so they can be sealed. Theo still has the bloodied sword, Alisha hands over her weapon. The guard puts his hand over the sword and a yellow ring appears round the handle, it closes into the sword and disappears. The guard pulls on the handle making sure the sword is locked in the sheath. He hands back Alisha rapier, Alisha takes it, and Iocks it back to her left side.

While this happens Theo looks around. Seeing a barbed wire iron gate locked into place up into the top of this massive sized wall, the wall being made of a white cement-looking material. A guard walks up to Theo. " we don't have all day ". Theo can tell the guard has a unpleasant look as Theo looks back. Theo unlocks his sword which then he draws as do the guards. Alisha smiles just standing next to Theo. Theo puts his hand up and the bloodied sword goes from an iron sword to a wooden sword. The guards look at each other and sheath their swords. " Next time you pull a stunt like that I'll kill you myself." Theo smiles then breaks the sword, Theo drops the split wooden sword onto the ground. Theo smiles " I never had a real of boys " Theo walks into the city smiling and Alisha saying sorry to the guards for her brother as the guards fake smile back then go back to their post.

Alisha catches up with Theo. " That wasn't a great play theo" Theo glance at her as he pulls his real sword from behind his leg and locks it into his left side. " I could have used magic but guards here don't search you, it's the easiest trick.

Theo looking around seeing others watch him as they walk by. Everyone is wearing good condition wool clothes, not one has ragged anything. " This is the one city or even faction that has a good economy and very good pay rates, it's very impressive" Alisha spoke in a very knowledgeable tone.

Theo looks back, mocking Alisha " I'm miss's know it all, i guess you've been here before" Alisha nod and sticks her tongue out at Theo.

Theo walking with Alisha seeing smooth stone flooring throughout the whole city, blacksmith shops with dozens of people inside and having a triangled black roof, massive markets, restaurants, even markets within the streets. " Everyone smiles here" Theo smiling " where do we have to go sis, maybe a certain place or sneak into the castle." Within the city walls there's A castle. Mostly with a blue tinted stone, the banners that fall to the ground and the slow shudder of the banner in the wind. Up the long road that leads to this castle, the high cement-looking wall with silver armored archers looking over the city.

Alisha points to the castle. " Thats actually we have to go"

Theo looks over " oh... lovely."
