Awkward

Creak!

The door was rising- as in, opening.

Guards up in the walls- an awfully thick tall wall. 

The army was behind me…

Yeah, passing through this place was going to be a major gamble but-

But we had to.

Both to make a point- and to save a good chunk of time.

So-

Without a doubt- 

We moved forward.

The whole army behind me… as well as the setting sun…

"My lord!"

A group of knights greeted us inside.

Lots of citizens just going on about.

Whoever looked this way-also bowed and then went about their days.

Peaceful… but yeah- this place seemed to have some sort of a secret. 

Or maybe they were just lethargic because it was the evening?

If so- quite an uncommon thing for a demihuman city.

After all, all the cities I'd been through so far- people were always just people… normal. 

"Lead the way- lord Varana is at his residence, I assume?"
