In the fortress the landlord Xavier was enjoying his nightly tax count when one of his guards came running into his room as if he had seen a ghost, “my Lord, our two sentries posted at the outer wall have been killed!”
“What!” screamed Xavier almost choking on the wine he was drinking. “Mobilize everyone at once!”
“Yes sir!” replied the guard, and he quickly ran off.
Xavier turned back around and began to count his money once again. But something was different, something was wrong.
