Two guards stood outside the gate and walked towards Daramose as he approached. When they reached Topen and his stallion, it became obvious that their intent was to block Daramose before he could get any closer to the castle entrance. “Topen!” shouted the young guard who had advanced to Daramose’s side. “Kelamar has asked us to watch for you and inform him of your arrival before you enter the castle.” “I will wait here while you advise him as he has instructed.” The young guard nodded and retreated into the castle. The second guard was much older, and wore a short beard with gray hair scattered throughout. He remained with Topen and constantly skimmed the area—ever diligent in his alertness. “You’re Casimit, aren’t you?” Topen asked. The guard glanced upward at Topen—including him in his constant scans. “I am surprised that you would remember me,” said Casimit. “I have not spoken with you since the great castle war.” “I remember you as a very young man when Kelamar pulled you from the soldier ranks and instructed you to guard the innermost castle.”
