Going To The Fortress

Within the keep, the non-combatants were swiftly ushered toward the hidden, underground shelter. The entrance was a narrow, concealed tunnel marked behind the fortress, and it descended deep into the earth, offering a sense of safety from the chaos above.

Mother's clutched their children tightly, while the elderly men and women moved as quickly as they could with the assistance of young volunteers. The faces of the civilians were pale with terror, fear flickering in their eyes, but they relied on the warriors fighting above to protect them.

Suddenly, a violent tremor rippled through the ground, followed by the thunderous explosions echoing in the surface. Panic gripped the frightened crowd, and their cries of alarm filled the air.

"Keep moving!" Urged one of the women at front, her voice steady as she guided them forward. "Once you're inside, stay close to your families and wait for the signal."
