Indomitable
“A hardwood forest guarded the general’s home on all sides. From a distance it looked more like an ancient Roman phalanx than a wood: bases and branches impenetrably linked like overlapping shields. There was a single, unpaved access that meandered for several kilometers beneath a canopy of trees, and over several streams. The access wasn’t a proper road by any stretch of the word. Great-Grans had stubbornly refused to cut and pave a swath across her land.
Promise and Sephora spotted the house w...hen they were almost on top of it. It was less a home and more a small castle. Three stories of stone and wood stood beneath a tower, which occupied the northwest corner. A head-high battlement ran the perimeter of the roof with rectangular cutouts equally spaced on all four sides. Promise had to dig a bit into her history to come up with what they were called. Crenels. On Holy Terra, during medieval times, an archer would string her bow and rain indirect missiles from behind the battlement, or use the indentation for line-of-sight fire.MoreLess
