RUMORS OF WAR

We may yet have a few days before battle, but most of the soldiers have been posted near the fore of our defenses ... just in case. Within the castle is unnervingly quiet. Most of the courtiers excused themselves and fled to the countryside at the earliest rumors of war. A few of us still pace our appointed rounds within. My walk is a little more than one thousand paces in its circuit, around the courtyard garden and its windows ...

and through the chapel, winding through corridors and staircases. The metal plate on my boots and shin guards is heavier each time around.

What is that noise?

Shouting from the parapets! The battle is about to begin.
