[RPG] [Las]Spring

[Chuong Huynh]

It was spring time again, Menelmereth stood on the prestine battlements of
her city looking out and over the fields and plains that surrounded it. The
serfs that worked the land were busy with the years plantation. The weather
suited it well, a slight breeze from the far off waters trifled with her
hair. The sun, high above the horizon now, would disappear briefly behind
the lofty clouds that sailed the skies. The scattered seeds waited patiently
in their alluvial nest for spring showers to take root.

Life in the city itself was picking up in the warmer weather. A larger
number of stalls appeared daily in the marketplace, occupied by merchants
peddling their exotic goods, as well as locals displaying their domestic
crafts. Many of the travellers she knew by name, from merchant guilds and
the old trade routes she had taken. She often visited the marketplace on
days when she was about the duchy, she knew trades were key to a thriving
city.

But today she was on the fortifications, though they had only been an
accessory in the previous year, She was glad the fortress was never called
upon to defend the city. Never the less, freezing and thawing of snow and
ice from winters passed had cause cracks and fissures to develop between
rock and stone. Now that the weather was warmer it was time for repairs.
