Dragonblade Trilogy - 02 - Island of Glass
“The rain had fallen so heavily that it had been like walking through sheets of crystalline silver. Spoiling the effect was the mud that it created, churning like black rivers as it rolled down the sides of the motte. Men in chain mail, bearing the seal of Wrexham, had struggled up the slick, sloping sides en route to the keep at the top to do battle. From beginning to end, the entire deed had been a nightmare.
The clash had lasted nearly two days, not particularly long where battles were concer...ned. Dinas Bran Castle had been held by Dafydd ap Gruffydd, brother of Llewellyn the Last, though no one had actually seen the man leading his men to battle. Mostly, it seemed to be held by raiders disguised as Welsh soldiers. It hadn’t taken tremendous effort to breach the wooden gate and penetrate the castle. Rather than fight, most of the Welsh had fled. Kirk’s army had come away with little more than exhaustion and minimal satisfaction.
On the way back to Kirk Castle, the rain had washed away the layers of mud accumulated from mounting the enormous Welsh motte.MoreLess
