Ancient Castle Walls

Mighty fortresses once proudly stood where now only crumbling walls remain, shadows of their ancient past as home and hearth and warrior stronghold. Ancient battles once fought to protect those within these very walls ... are no more. Faint echoes of wars long since silenced can be heard only by those with a warriors blood flowing forever through their veins and a warriors heart beating deep within their chest. Lives freely given and savagely taken without fear ... brave souls one and all. With sword and shield raised to the heavens the lone pipers mournful sounds heard on the winds the warriors call to battle given and thus accepted. Ancient crumbling walls left standing, once stained red with blood now faded are, to this day, all that remain as mute testimony to their hallowed memory.
