As the twin suns melted into the horizon, Drake led the men out of the clearing and circled the large fortress. He kept his eyes glowing, watching for stray glowing grey dots.
There were still no beasts in the area, which was unsettling.
The gargoyles were staying in what Drake figured was the throne room. It would be the only room he could think of that could hold so many humans and their captors.
Beasts in their current location were supposed to be level 4 beasts. If the gargoyle scared even them away, then whatever was going on at the castle was dire.
Inching their way toward the tall protective walls surrounding the city, the men led them to a hidden entrance, once used for evacuating the citizens when the town was under attack. Drake wondered why they hadn't used it when the gargoyles came.
