Sorry for the long wait with this chapter. I could tell you it took so long because I had really important business to attend to, or because it was particularly hard to write. I could tell you that. But The truth of the matter is I was busy being lazy, and playing dark souls
The fortress
Just as the witcher road through the gates, he was confronted by an armed and rather angry looking man.
"HALT" shouted the angry man. "Who the bloody hell do you think you are, strutting through the gate like you own the fuck'en place, and armed to the teethe at that. why, I should cut you down where you stand."
"I'd like to see you try" the witcher muttered.
He sighed and started again "I think, I'm a witcher. And one that's taken care of your monster problem at that!"
"Oh" said the angry man in a defeated tone. "Well in that case I'll let you through" he said. "But just remember, I've got my eye on you" he said as if scolding a child.
The witcher dismounted from his horse. And brought it inside the "fortress". though it was more of a large compound that had been fortified.
As the witcher walked into the fortress he took note of his surroundings. The fortress was composed of four buildings arranged to form a citadel. To the left of the gate was what the witcher assumed to be the servants quarters, to the right was the stables, directly ahead was the main house, and forming one of the walls as well as the gate, was the guard house directly behind him.
In the middle of the citadel there was a court yard, which appeared to function as a training yard.
The witcher was heading for the stables to tie-up his horse, when he was confronted by an eager-looking stable hand. "I'll rope i'em up for ya" said the stable-hand. The witcher hesitantly handed the stable-hand the horse's reign's. But before the stable-hand could take the horse to the stables the witcher stopped him.
"I'm sure I don't need to tell you, that if I find you've in any way harmed my horse, or taken any item regardless of value from the saddle-bags, you'll find this protruding from your gut" the witcher said in a nonchalant tone as he indicated the sword at his hip.
The witcher then removed a large bag from a strap on the horses side before The stable-hand quickly nodded and hurried of with the horse.
The witcher proceeded to the main building. "Time to finish this" he thought.
To be continued!
Well turns out this one not only took a long time, but was also short and uneventful. Sorry about that. the next chapter should arrive in a more timely fashion, and that one will be much more exciting!
