Koios walked around the city, and felt some of the tension in his heart lessen a bit. It was a damned good place to be as old as it was. Whomever had built it before had ensured it was a sound place. The bricks used to construct most of the buildings were of a size to not be easily destroyed, and were easily as wide and long as he. They had weathered well, too.

The entire city was surrounded by sheer cliffs that were as razor sharp as any blade he had ever seen. Anyone attempting to scale the face would be cut beyond healing. Add that to the enormous height of the cliffs, and it was daunting even to look at.

The city lay in the heart of the original mountain, was nearly rectangular in shape, and had only three entrances—the main gate in the wall, and two remote back passes that only one man could enter comfortably.

Or only one man could defend, if needed.

The only weakness he could see in the entire design was at the rear of the city, where the river trisected the back cliff and wound under the mountain. It was the most wondrous geological phenomenon he had ever seen, and one that would require some great strategy to defend.

The ancient residents had used more of the orange bricks and walled up all but the very bottom of the canyons to allow for passage of water, but nothing else.

After an hour or so, he returned to his men. They had widened the opening in the front gate enough that carts and supply vehicles could be brought in.

The warriors looked at him when he stepped through the opening again.

“The city has fared well, and has been awaiting us. Callen, Phan, and Teile, you will take your companies within. Identify places for barracks for us, and explore the outer city. There are two great halls. One, the larger, is to be used as the Hall of Healers. See that it is structurally safe, and set your men to preparing it. There is little time to waste in this. The rest of us will meet the Queen and her people at the waters. The second hall is to be the seat of the city, and she—we—will reside there, as well. Conmor, you take two score warriors and search out the lands within. Find something suitable to set up for food production. Whatever you think this climate will support. We do not know how long we will be here, nor how long our supplies will last in this air.” He had been through many ages in his twelve hundred years, and had lived through much more primitive conditions.
