A stone parapet at the top of the castle, the royal tower is what makes this castle a fortress. The walls are stone and dinged with souvenirs of past battles. It is cold and gray, but the perfect vantage point for soldiers. The wind whistles through the cracks in the wall. Straw litters the floor.

soldier
knight
I am a knight in the royal army. I am strong, brave and fearsome. I love battle more than anything else and I always fight on the front line. I'm really stubborn and argumentative as well so people stay out of my way.
Soldier, what are your duties? This is my post but I was also told to give you and the general these maps. Ah, wonderful. The maps detailing the location of the enemies jewels. How did you obtain these? Here is this one as well. The king guard sent them from the king. Well, these are great. Soldier, how many years have you been enlisted? 4 years sir Knight. Best years of my life. My parents are very proud. Lost brethern in the wars have you? Yes, I have lost my best friend in the last battle.  I'm sorry to hear that, son. Bound to happen, but sad every time.  Have you lost many friends as well? How long have you been a knight? Too many. I've been in the service for 25 years now. I love it. Crushing enemies, staring into the eyes of the man who might kill me. It's delightful. You are so brave. I hope to one day be as you are.
