They slanted across the sky, like a transparent veil enveloping the entire Eagle's Nest Fortress.
The grayish-blue stone walls of the fortress shimmered in the moisture, with the heavy banners of Falan hanging down.
Soldiers patrolled atop the city walls, the raindrops clanging against their iron helmets.
