Wintertide Stronghold [Part 03]

The time was midnight and the weather was unbearable. The dirt roads had become frozen shadows of the night, making it hard for anyone to see anything. Nay one was out, except for a guard or two most were either sleeping or stuffed into the tavern, drinking, and gambling their coinage away. Nay one ‘s dumb enough to be outside during this night or attempt to take the stronghold by storm, nay one but me.

The stronghold, a fortress known as impregnable, was never successfully broken into.

But I’m left with no choice but to attempt to break and enter ever since they captured my brother six weeks ago as he is headed to a certain beheading in due time for his “crimes.” I will force myself through their massive stone walls and free him from any potential tragedy at all costs.
