The Lonely Knight

The knight was appointed in a tall tower, he must not leave his post no matter what he sees or hears, for straight five days, he was on the lookout. The day moves incredibly fast, as if it wishes for the night to take its place, as the darkness engulfs the sky. One night, he hears something. It was to dark to see where the source was coming from. He can only guess the location. He was at his wits end. The gaming of the sounds was making him blue with rage and distress. He doesn’t know what to do but be on the lookout. That was his duty, that was what his captain instructed him to do. The sounds was a miss leading. He kept sticking out his neck outside the edge of the tower. He is tired. The sounds are not human. But a beastly roars. He is sad that he participated in the lookout. His previous colleagues, stood guarding the surrounding areas without a wink of sleep, for five days. He on the third day and already starting to lose his nerves. He was scared. The loneliness was starting to get to him. He misses his family already. But he can’t leave his post. It is too dangerous, especially at a moonless night. The torches were doing its best to illuminate the surrounding areas. But not enough, to help him be prepared for what was scaling the walls of the tower.
