When he finally reached the top of the wall, Kaizen hid behind a ledge and surveyed the scene below.
The fortress was in ruins, clearly abandoned. Even the inner walls were covered in moss and cracks, and many of the towers creaked so badly in the wind that they might collapse at any moment. Debris littered the ground, at least where Kaizen could see it from where he stood, and the place seemed much larger now than it did from the outside. There were gunsmiths' huts, medicine huts, and other types of buildings in the main courtyard, not to mention the place with a large wooden door at the end of a large staircase. Despite all this, there was no sign of life or movement inside the fortress at first, but Kaizen knew to be cautious. There might be hidden traps and dangers.
