Storming the Castle |Nivens|
Charlie ran as fast as he could. He had to get to Tansy. He had to get out of here. He had to remain unseen. He wasn't even sure where he was, but he knew it was a castle and he knew that they didn't take kindly to scavengers like him. It was hard to keep his balance with his hands restrained behind him, but he would deal with the manacles after he was sure he had successfully escaped back out into the town.
