This part is very short, and it's the last time we'll see Kayle for a while. As you could tell, I wrote it very late at night.... Oh well.
ソーンウッド城
Log 16: Castle Thornwood
The castle remained the same way Kayle remembered it from her childhood exploits when she and Grimm landed there minutes after leaving Kitakigi. There was the fang-decorated throne facing the courtyard; the towering thornwood trees that shrouded the fortress and created its wall; the stairway that led to the dungeon and torture rooms; the four outlook towers in the cardinal locations; the ruins of what was once a keep in the courtyard's center, now surrounded by the four obelisks of an Oblivion Gate.
"The Gate wasn't here the last time I was here," Kayle muttered, sliding off Grimm's back.
«The Dark Army made it,» the drac spoke in its bondage-speech. «They have to mobilize weakened Regents without possibly killing them in the Wild Magic.»
Kayle nodded. "Ah." She walked over to the throne and sat herself in it, wondering how she was able to sit in it while she was young. "So, when will the army return?"
«When they capture a Regent.» Grimm lumbered to Kayle's feet and lay down - Like Anya and Silverclaw, she thought in disgust.
"Alright. We shall wait, then."
Then Kayle fell asleep, and wondered for the thousandth time why she took Kuroiandagia from the Old Red Inn.

Thanks to the fans for waiting so patiently for this episode! I just haven't had the time to post! Don't worry, I haven't stopped writing - I have three more episodes finished, one halfway finished, and one to plan. Hopefully I'll get them all done....
Also, dômo arigatô to all who have reviewed so far! I've never had a loyal reviewer who posted from the first chapter on.... *sniff* I appreciate comments, so please review!
