“What can I say?” George shrugged. “I like shiny things.”
“Like a fucking magpie.”
“Actually, magpies don’t really care for—”
“Alright, I get it, you have a thing for lonely little animals.”
The war god shifted his weight from one foot to another as he stared impatiently at George, the castle looming over his shoulder like a threat. George considered its imposing walls; the thorns would bend easily enough to George’s will, allowing them safe passage inside, but anything beyond that would require George to trust in the war god’s protection.
With a weary sigh, George turned back to the war god.
“How do we even know if it’s abandoned?” he asked, even though he knew he was going to follow the dark-eyed god into the belly of the beast no matter what his answer was.
“Look at it,” the war god said exasperatedly, flinging an arm towards the ivy-grown turrets. “Of course it’s abandoned.”
It was not.
Inside, they found a crowd of mercenaries, outlaws and common bandits that had been using the castle as some base of their criminal operations and—because the universe wasn’t quite done with George yet—they had gotten to the castle’s armory first. Which meant the moment George and the war god stepped through the gates, they were greeted with a wickedly sharp hatchet burying itself into the wall right behind where George’s head had been just a second before.
