On Their Way to the Border
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 52140
|
Ambaric told them that there was around five miles to go before they
reached the borders between the two countries. The Allarians had built a
large twenty foot tall stone wall that was around five feet thick. There
were at least twenty men patrolling them at all times. The small group were heading towards two massive wooden gates. They were flanked by two large towers with around five archers in each. They were enchanted to open on a word spoken by the gatekeeper. People were allowed to go out, but had to be vigorously checked before coming in, not that there was that much traffic. Their journey to the border was uneventful, Allaria prided itself in having flushed out all the brigands and other criminals that preyed on innocent travellers. Not that there would have been any on the route they were taking. Not far from the gates was a little sheltered rest stop where horses could have a drink, and they could eat some of their supplies. Which they did, Astra glad of the chance to be rid of Velus' tickly presence, if only for a short while. Ambaric was the first to dismount from his horse which was a black gelding. Castrating horses, especially male horses made training them that much easier, and Ambaric had broken in his own horse himself.
