Waiting
“We’re going to have to wait, The Baron is away for a few days.” Ashalla informed her.
“I can wait.” Aalen replied looking around the crowded streets. She hadn’t realised there were so many people in this city. Where did they all come from?
They were standing in the city’s square. Above them all rose the Baron’s Keep like a giant solitary black tooth. Aalen spied the walls of the fortifications. She reckoned she could scale them with no problems, and she thought Ashalla could do the same.
Revenge would come. She could wait. What was a few days?

Thanks to the person who recently bought me six coffees. I really appreciate it ❤
Please buy me a coffee! 🙂
“Above them all rose the Baron’s Keep like a giant solitary black tooth.”
Damn, that line was so good. Excellent imagery.

Revenge can simmer, and determination can wait. Good use of the prompt to jump right into the next scene.
