Two days later, we reached the Duke's castle. A few troops were stationed around the walls ready to go to war. They were the reinforcements the Duke had called for but not all of them had arrived.
A great battle was about to happen, and anyone could smell the anxiety around the castle. The men were preparing their weapons and readying their hearts. They knew they were not enough. They knew their chances of surviving the night were few.
"Open the gates!" The metallic chains moved, and the big gate lowered down letting our group finally got inside safely.
