Enemies in the Distance

After the storm, me, Tara, and Genevieve continued to build the walls. After several days worth of hard work, we finally had walls around the entire castle.

"Good work, ladies," I said. "We got this done faster than I thought we would."

"Now, all we have to do is build the gates," Tara replied.

"We also have to do the traps," Genevieve responded.

As we were observing the walls, we suddenly heard the sound of a horn coming from the distance.

"What was that?" Tara asked.

"I don't know, but it doesn't sound good," I replied. "Genevieve, can you go to the top of the castle tower to see if there's something coming towards Felicia?

"No problem, I'll go check it out," Genevieve responded.

Genevieve ran as fast as she could to the top of the castle tower to see if there was something in the distance, and then she returned.

"We have bad news," Genevieve said. "There are several large groups of bandits coming our way."

"So, your vision of Felicia being attacked really was a warning," Tara said to me.

"Yeah, it was," I replied.

"So, what's the plan, you two?" Genevieve asked.

Tara looked at me. "What do you think, Ricky?"

"Well, we don't have time to build the gates, that's for sure," I responded. "I guess it's just gonna be a head-on full-out battle."

I knew that the vision I had of Felicia being attacked was a dire warning. I'm glad that me and Tara came back to Felicia. If we hadn't, Genevieve would have had to deal with this alone, and I don't think that would have gone well.
